Experience Brazil’s First Tech-Based Favela Tour in Babilônia, Leme, Rio de Janeiro
Join us on a unique and purposeful journey through the Babilônia community, located in the Leme area, one of the most beautiful and historical areas of Rio de Janeiro. This isn’t just another favela tour, it’s a new, conscious way of experiencing community life through innovation, sustainability, and local empowerment.
This is the first favela tour in Brazil to incorporate technology and renewable energy as central themes. Discover how a local initiative is transforming the favela from within, making it a reference in sustainability and self-management. On this tour, you will have the opportunity to support the local economy while exploring breathtaking viewpoints, learning about the history of the community, and connecting with inspiring local leaders.
One of the highlights of the tour is a visit to Brazil’s first solar-powered daycare centre located inside a favela. You’ll learn how solar energy is being implemented to reduce electricity costs and provide cleaner energy to institutions that care for the community’s children. See first-hand how renewable energy is making a real impact in the daily lives of residents.
The tour also includes a stop at the community solar energy cooperative office, where you’ll get to understand how solar power plants work and the practical benefits they bring to the community. It’s an opportunity to explore how technology and social organisation go hand in hand to build a better, more sustainable future.
At the Mirante das Usinas (Solar Plants Viewpoint), you’ll be rewarded with an incredible panoramic view of Rio de Janeiro, a perfect moment to reflect on the power of community-driven change.
You’ll also visit the residents' association, a key space where local decisions are made and community projects are developed. This is more than a tour; it’s an immersion. Get to know the people who are behind the scenes, making Rio de Janeiro truly happen.
Come with an open heart and leave with a new perspective. This is not just sightseeing, it’s a socially conscious experience that blends tourism with education, sustainability, and real connection.
