Our grand tour
We went on a walking tour of a favela with a local guy called Obi. It was really interesting, he told us about how the police took control from the drug dealers in 2011 (and that they preferred the drug dealers), how poor they are eg they 'borrow' electricity from the government, how they prefer to give all their money to locals doing small jobs instead of corporations. Amazing food and views too!
Later we walked all the way along Ipanema beach up to another favela to see it at night, was a lovely long walk with more fantastic views.
