Vidigal is a well-known favela in Rio’s South Zone, perched on the hillside between Leblon and São Conrado.
It’s famous for its stunning ocean views, creative local energy, and a mix of long-time residents and new initiatives that have shaped the neighborhood over the years.
Along its winding streets you’ll find small shops, community projects, and everyday life unfolding against one of the most beautiful backdrops in the city.
On our Vidigal favela tour, you’ll discover the community with a local guide and experience the neighborhood beyond the typical “viewpoint-only” visit. Expect a walk through key areas, stories about Vidigal’s history and culture, and plenty of time to take in the panoramic scenery.
The tour can be booked between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM and takes approximately 1.5 to 2 hours.
We focus on a respectful, insightful experience—supporting local businesses where possible and giving you a genuine feel for what makes Vidigal unique.
