Our best hike in Rio! We hired a great and very affordable guide who lives in the favela as we were not sure about safety (Robinson Santos,whatsapp 0055-21_99876-9649 or Ana 0055-21-98394-4928 ). …Full review by ginsengNewYork
Has anyone does this as a group tour at all? If so was it worth the money? I was wondering if I am better off booking this as a group tour via my hotel or just do the trip myself and cut out the middle man?

I will be travelling on my own so the only thing putting me off doing this trip on my own is having to travel through the favela & using moto taxi’s. Any help would be much appreciated.

It honestly felt very safe going through the favela. Uber drops you to the bottom of the favela, then there were police cas and the moto-taxi people all in an area at the bottom. There was no-one other than tourists doing the hike on the trail, the only part of concern would be when you arrive back at the top of the favela waiting for a moto-taxi to arrive. There is a little guy with a shop there as a local, so you wouldn't be completely alone, although you may have to wait 10mins or so. I'm quite risk averse, and I did it without the tour guide.
