THE MOST CONTROVERSIAL PLACE IN BRAZIL
THE MOST CONTROVERSAIL PLACE IN BRAZIL
The Truth About One of Brazil's Notorious Neighborhoods
Rocinha is Brazil's Largest Favela. Rio de Janeiro is notorious for their slums, also called Favelas, and most tourists stay away. But, as part of their journey around the world, Snow and Curt seek out different lifestyles and cultures to share with the world. The media tells us that the Brazilian Favela is one of the most dangerous places in South America, if not the world, but these full time travelers do not always follow the trend. Snow and Curt found a favela local to take us deep inside one of Brazil's largest favelas to see what it is like to live inside one of these slums... and they think the answers will surprise you! So, join Snow and Curt as they start their day taking a quick visit to one of the most iconic landmarks in the world before heading deep into a Brazilian Favela.

Through our travels we have come to realize that the common thread between people is that they are just trying to make a decent living and raise their families and have a good life. People have more in common than not. Great video!

All I kept thinking, how do they get groceries up to their homes?😮 You both find the most beautiful people, in the most beautiful places. Simon, you are the thread that weaves throughout the world and connects the the truth about humanity. Curt and Snow show that no matter where we are born, good will find good, joy will find joy and life will find life. Some of us are ready to give up, and then, we see the spirit of humanity is really about love. Thank you. Rio is absolutely beautiful. 😊

Kudos to you. I'm Brazilian, lived not too far from Rio and never had the courage to visit any favela. BTW, I hope you take the time to visit my hometown, Petropolis. It's about 1hr from Rio. Petropolis was the summer retreat for the Royal family back in the imperial era. It's a very charming town with German history as well. ❤ The royal palace became a museum and the German architecture is noticeable in many places throughout the city ❤
Guys !!! So thrilled you took me to a favela - have always wanted to (safely) explore one. Beautiful that you also showed us everyday life. The dronescapes are a real eye-opener. Thank you so mucho 🙏🙂❤️💃🌿

CURT and SNOW. Congratulations!!! Sou um brasileiro de São Paulo, apaixonado pelo meu BRASIL. E mais emocionado fico ainda quando verifico o interesse e até mesmo amor e carinho que estrangeiros demonstram por meu querido país. Tenho acompanhado todos seus vídeos e confesso que fiquei emocionado pelas experiências vividas por voces e seus queridos gatinhos. Temos 4 gatos em casa. Parabenizo o trabalho e todos os esforços de voces nessas viagens exaustivas e dispendiosas! É fantástico!! Sinto-me honrado com suas belas impressões à respeito de nosso Brasil, de nosso povo amável, de nossas belezas, de nossas liberdades e tudo o mais. É dignificante por parte de voces, socialmente e psicològicamente o fato de terem ido visitar a "ROCINHA"! BELÍSSIMO GESTO!! Mas, sinceramente, pudesse vir a ser muito risco!! Pudessem ter feito demonstrações à distância, eventualmente não correndo maiores riscos, não que algo fosse impetrado contra voces, mas tiroteios, por um acaso, acontecessem entre facções e voces corressem riscos!!! Voces poderiam até correr riscos de morte, encerrando-se toda uma programação internacional de viagens de um casal estrangeiro!! A atitude de voces é altamente dignificante pelo que sentimo-nos bastante honrados. Muito obrigado mesmo. Caso algum dia voces decidam vir a morar no Brasil, como SNOW deixou transparecer no episódio de Paratí, digo-lhes que serão muito benvindos, como também outros tantos estrangeiros que por aqui estão e amam este país maravilhoso. Temos vários problemas, é verdade, porém as vantagens são muitíssimo maiores as quais justificam demais afirmar que este, realmente, é O MELHOR país do mundo para se viver! Sol o ano inteiro, paisagens lindíssimas, florestas maravilhosas, variedade enorme de pássaros multicoloridos, água em abundância, comida farta, deliciosa e variadíssima, povo alegre e receptivo, muito a conhecer em um vasto território, não temos guerras, NÃO temos vulcões, furacões violentos, terremotos, tsunamis, tornados, nevascas devastadoras e paralizantes. Há ocorrências transtornantes mas, perto das vantagens existentes, a diferença torna-se enorme. Por exemplo, neve no hemisfério norte é sinônimo de desastres e aborrecimentos. No Brasil, no sul do país, é sinônimo de festas, alegrias, hotéis lotados, sinônimo de turismo!! Parabéns e ótimas viagens. Abraços brasileiros!
What a marvelous, honorable tour you took us on. I could tell by the end you were pretty tired out and just thank you for giving of yourselves to bring us history and present day living in the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro. Life is lived so many great ways! Btw, Snow, you danced great. Really swinging those hips after much walking uphill!! Fabulous video. Can’t wait for tomorrow’s hike!

I only went into Rocinha once, sixty years ago. I was six. So, although it was no surprise, thank you for updating the image I had in my mind. However, Rio is multicultural and has different realities. The favela is real, ok. But we also have the traditional suburbs of Zona Norte, the affluent Zona Sul, the ever-growing Barra da Tijuca, and the somehow distant Baixada, all different cultures and realities. I wish Curt success when climbing the Pedra da Gávea. It must be quite a strenuous hike. (There is another huge monolith facing Pedra da Gávea. It is the Pedra Bonita, where the gliders take off from. The hike to the top is much easier, and you have a beautiful view of Pedra da Gávea). I look forward to following this new adventure and hope the weather is good up there.
That was wonderful. I agree it is important to dispel the myths of places. When in Beijing we stayed in a Huton area and the people were so kind and generous. I learned so much! And frankly, I didn’t want to leave. We avoided the tourist places (called Western, referring to America). and it was the best. We walked at least 17kms a day. I would go back in a heartbeat.

I am so glad that you made the point of how people all over the world, no matter the reputation of the area they live in, are just doing the same things we as Americans do. We all just want to do right by our families. We all work hard to that. Most of all we are all proud of our cultures and enjoy the company of good friends, a good meal and a beautiful view. We all have more in common than we have differences. Just like there are places in the USA I wouldn't venture for safety sake, it is same in any country. Just always be respectful and listen to the advice of the locals on the places to avoid but also the best places to go and when to go there. Love you guys! Again, as always thank you so much for taking us along on your adventure.

We are not your typical tourists ... Part of our long journey around the world is to learn about different cultures and people. Not just the pretty stuff... All of it. We have visited the communas of Medellin, rural fishing villages in Chile, rural farms of Nicaragua, isolated mountain towns deep in Mexico, indigenous villages in Chiapas,the south side of Chicago, areas of Peru with no refrigeration, the homeless allies of Seattle, the former gorilla towns of El Salvador.... This was not a tourist attraction for us. We truly enjoy sharing with the world how other people live and survive. We also show the hidden gems and unknown beautiful places of the countries we visit.... we never want to offend anyone, but favelas are part of Brazil... Just as much as the Amazon and the beautiful beaches.

Não tem jeito! Pessoal de fora adora ficar visitando favela. Vira e mexe eu vejo jipes e mais jipes levando hordas de estrangeiros nesses lugares. É tipo uma experiência antropológica pra eles. Nos países do primeiro mundo quase não há lugares pobres e, tirando raríssimas exceções, nada se compara com essas favelas horrorosas. De uma certa forma, eu consigo entender um pouco a motivação deles invertendo as situações, me imaginando visitando lugares decaídos ou decadentes como Chernobyl, ruínas de castelos medievais e cidades abandonadas do midwest americano. Mas ainda assim, nada é tão degradante do ponto de vista humano como essas pobres pessoas morando empilhadas, no meio de tanta sujeira e violência dessas favelas. Não é uma opção estilística morar nesses atoleiros, é uma decisão dificil com forte caráter pragmático. É uma visita que me faria muito mal.

You say that as if the USA is the safest country in the world and there are no crazy, psychopathic people who go around attacking others. Well, from what I know, in the USA, anyone can have a gun and that's why so many people go into schools, cinemas, churches, etc. and go around killing everyone. The evil of North Americans is thinking that their country is the best in the world. It's not knowing anything about other cultures. You are intellectually alienated. Your friend was attacked in Guatemala. You say this as if there is no danger and crime in the USA. Please spare me.

I live near Rocinha, it's not a dangerous favela as you could see. It is a community made up of many immigrants from the northeast of Brazil who came to try their luck in Rio. Pedra da Gavea is the most incredible place in Rio and as far as I know it is the largest seaside monolith on the planet. Don't forget to hang glider or paraglide.

Mestre Alvaro in Espirito Santo is the tallest monolith in the Brazilian coast, it was considered the tallest place in Brazil until the discovery of Pico da Bandeira that is also located in Espirito Santo (90% of it).

Caraca. Mas esses passeios na favela é algum tipo de culto a miséria? Eu desejo que cada uma das pessoas da favela possa prosperar e ter uma vida mais digna e sem perder a humildade!!

Não, é apenas uma forma de demonstrar que nesses lugares justamente não existe apenas miséria e criminalidade.

Mas a culpa é do Brasil que gosta de divulgar isso, cultuar a miséria ao invés de tentar dar um lugar digno pras pessoas morarem. Como se fosse ok esse povo viver aí, pq é isso que eles merecem. 😑
I love this video! It is so informative and thank you for sharing places that we would never be able to see or visit.

Soany people, souch motorcycle traffic, so many buildings!!! It's absolutely incredible that so many people have worked together and against tough odds to build communities and thrive! I was most impressed by the kids and their performance and when Snow thought he was going to jump over her and he gave her a hug, how cool! The only thing that caused fear in me was looking at those hillsides one word hit me, earthquake!😮 Can you just imagine the devastation that would result😢 God forbid 🙏. That was super interesting and I know Snow had to be super tired, but I'm so proud of her! This was truly special❤

Brazil is located in a very particular place surrounded by tectonic plates, which means we have basically 0 issues with earthquakes here! However, the issue here is with flooding, heavy rain and then landslides that can happen…

Brazil is blessed with no earthquakes, no volcanos, no hurricanes, no tornados, no tsunamis... Some people claim God is Brazilian. As you can see, Christ is watching the city. But it does have awful politicians. Not sure what is worse, lol.

I really appreciate this video (and all the others). This one is so beautiful and interesting! I love hearing your respectful and kind words about all the places you visit. I was born in Brazil, close to Bonito where you have been. I’ve never been to a favela and it is so interesting. Beyond poverty or money, where there are people there are hearts. It’s so beautiful to see the interaction, the guys dancing capoeira and showing kindness and love towards you. I live in Switzerland and I’m waiting for you here! 😊 It’s almost time for shipping the van, right? Or is it already travelling? 😊

I live in Bern. There are so many beautiful places nearby and a lot of hiking waiting for Curt 😊 I will send you my contact in your mail, I saw it in a video from Chile I think. I know you have many plans in advance but I would be glad to show you some places here. 😊
Favelas are definitely not cool, but I understand foreigners curiosity. Thats not for me!

@@SnowAndCurt You two are doing well, all this "NHA"/"NHO"/"NHE" you found in some words are pronounced with this "N.YA"/"N.YO"/"N.YE" sound. I think that this rule is one of your lastest pronunciation steps to beeing more confortable with the language.
