About this experience
Our mission is to reach the top of the highest mountain in Vidigal, the big brother among the 2 brothers. We go up on foot through the real labyrinth that is the Vidigal favela, which is undoubtedly the most immersive and culturally shocking way to do it. Favelas are unique places, that are sort of like a ghetto or slum. Let's get an idea of how is the daily life of the residents, discover bars, parks and typical Brazilian street food. So you will also get exposed to a side of Brazil not many tourists see. Arriving at the entrance to the trail, it takes another 50 minutes way up, now in the middle of nature and with several lookouts that provide beautiful views of the city, the sea, beaches, and forests, in addition to having a true cabin with a Rocinha view. (largest favela in Latin America). Upon reaching the top, the view is simply cinematic. The way back is also an exciting motorcycle adventure at good speed through the alleys. Please note that is it forbidden to take photos and videos in Vidigal. This is why you will not find it here. So this tour is halfway secret. If you want to know what Vidigal is like, please contact us to book this tour. We climb/hike mountains daily: 2 brothers Christ Gavea Rock Sugar Loaf

Must do in Rio!
We loved this experience! Even though the weather wasn’t the best our host made this trip unforgettable! We loved the hike up, and also the favela tour gave us some insights of this side of Rio, but not in a too touristic way. Our host Facu was the best! Thank you so much

No one showed up
The guide never showed up due to an injury several days before, more than enough time to cancel. A refund was offered but that doesn't compensate the hour and time coming out of the city to the meeting point, in a potentially dangerous area. Not recommended.

Great view
First you go up to the trail with motorbikes, then you do the trail. It is a bit difficult, but not the hardest to do. Awesome view. Then go back to beginning of the trail and a walk down through the Favela. There is another stop with a great view on the way. We liked the tour ver much. Thank you, Jessie.

Why this scores 64

AVenturismo 2 Irmãos hill + Favela of Vidigal: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rio de Janeiro.
How much does AVenturismo 2 Irmãos hill + Favela of Vidigal cost?
+
Prices start at $250 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Rio de Janeiro usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does AVenturismo 2 Irmãos hill + Favela of Vidigal take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Rio de Janeiro is not rushed.
Is AVenturismo 2 Irmãos hill + Favela of Vidigal worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 24 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Rio de Janeiro, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule AVenturismo 2 Irmãos hill + Favela of Vidigal?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is AVenturismo 2 Irmãos hill + Favela of Vidigal suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book AVenturismo 2 Irmãos hill + Favela of Vidigal?
+
Around 8 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Rio de Janeiro can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Rio de Janeiro and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does AVenturismo 2 Irmãos hill + Favela of Vidigal start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Rio de Janeiro within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Rio de Janeiro?
+
On Outty we rank every Rio de Janeiro experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Rio's Full Day: Selarón Steps, Christ & Sugarloaf – Tickets & Lunch Included, Rio: Tijuca Rainforest Hike, Wildlife, Waterfalls & Caves, Explore the Best of Tijuca Forest – Hike to Peaks, Caves & Falls. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Rio de Janeiro?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Rio de Janeiro?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
