Favela Jeep Tour
This unique tour of one of the famed favelas in Rio de Janeiro offers a glimpse of a side of Rio that visitors rarely get to experience. Santa Marta is one of the first communities to take part in a program designed to welcome tourists to the favelas – poor but culturally vibrant neighborhoods where a strong sense of community has inspired a long tradition of music and art.
Santa Marta is located on Dona Marta Hill, officially part of Botafogo, in Rio de Janeiro. The residents refer to the district as Santa Marta because of the image of the saint which has adorned the inside of the chapel at the top of the hill since the beginning of the twentieth century.
