This is a small unedited video of an incredible place.
If you come to Rio, this is must see and can be an emotional experience.
I spoke and shook hands with many locals keen to see tourists.
The electrical system is little short of incredible and bloody dangerous.
Most power is borrowed..as they say here...taken before the meters is my interpretation.
Most houses are constructed without consents and build with what can be found or purchased materials.
We walked down through a market which was quite unlike any i have experienced before.
The smell and the vib were something else.
Favela's have a huge police presence as they were typically were drug gangs lived and worked.
Brazil authorities have now recognized Favela's and are actively helping to change the people's lives for the better.
Talk soon
