RIO DE JANEIRO”S SLUMS BECOMING BRAZIL TOURIST HOTSPOT
Published: June 25, 2012
By Casey McDermott - Mc Clatchy Newspapers
A far cry from the amous Christ the Redeemer statue or the luxury
Copacabana hotels, these crowded slum communities - called favelas - on the
hillsides of Rio are becoming unlikely stops for visitors who are looking to get a
glimpse of life beyond the bars and beaches in Brazil”s tourist hotspot.
Foreign tourists - and increasingly Brazilians themselves - are flocking
wide-eyed to Rio”s favelas to spend a night at a bed and breakfast , sample local
cuisine , take graffiti workshops or play paint-ball. In some cases, visitors are
settling into these neighborhoods for weeks at a time at venues such as Casa
Alto Vidigal , a favela home-turned-hostel that lures crowds with its bar and
rooftop deck overlooking the city.
Most of the tourists come for just a few hours, long enough to see what
it!s like to live in places that have reputations for crowding, crippling poverty and
clashes between drug gangs and police.
