While not everyone’s cup of tea, for those seeking a bit of adventure while being reminded of how many people in the world live in poverty, take a favela tour.
A favela is the Brazilian equivalent of a shanty town, which is generally found on the edge of the city. They have electricity, but often not formally.
Favelas are constructed from a variety of materials, ranging from bricks to garbage. Many favelas are very close and very cramped. They are plagued by sewage, crime and hygiene problems. Although many of the most infamous are located in Rio de Janeiro, there are favelas in almost every large Brazilian town. In Rio one in every four Cariocas (as the inhabitants are called) lives in a slum.
