Tour Options 

When booking your tour of the Vidigal favela by motorcycle taxi, you can choose one of the following options:

Vidigal Motorcycle Taxi Tour (1 Hour)

We'll meet at Praça do Vidigal, where we'll start our tour of Vidigal by motorcycle taxi. Ready to discover one of the largest favelas in Rio de Janeiro?

Our first stop will be Chácara do Céu Square, which emerged in the 1920s alongside the growth of the Leblon neighborhood, when workers built their homes here to be close to their jobs. We'll then stop at Brota, an innovative space that combines a community coworking hub with a shop selling products made by local entrepreneurs.

The route will continue to Arvrão, the highest point in Vidigal. From here, we'll enjoy beautiful views of the favela and the ocean. After admiring the panoramic views, we'll continue to Nós do Morro, one of Vidigal's most important cultural projects, renowned for training generations of artists and bringing theater and cinema from the favela to the world.

Next, we'll stop at Cantão do Vidigal, where we'll see Avenida Niemeyer and Ciclovía Tim Maia, famous for their winding curves and breathtaking sea views. Afterwards, we'll stop at the Mirador de los Crias and walk through the Callejón de las Artes, which features various works by local graffiti artists.

We’ll finish the tour by returning to the meeting point.

Vidigal + Morro Dois Irmãos Motorcycle Taxi Tour (2 Hours)

If you choose this option, we’ll first follow the same Vidigal motorcycle taxi tour described above. We'll then continue our journey in this popular Rio vehicle, visiting Morro Dois Irmãos, home to one of the most spectacular viewpoints in the city.

From this viewpoint, we'll see the beaches of Ipanema, Copacabana, and Leblon, as well as Christ the Redeemer. Get your camera ready!

Finally, we’ll end the tour at the starting point.

Vidigal + Morro Dois Irmãos Walking Tour (4 Hours)

In this option, we’ll follow the same route described above, but on foot. This way, we'll be able to take our time enjoying the viewpoints and murals of the Vidigal favela, as well as hike to the Morro Dois Irmãos viewpoint, which offers beautiful views of the city of Rio.

After a 4-hour hike, we’ll conclude the hiking tour at the meeting point.
