located just above chapéu mangueira, morro da babilônia is one of the clearest examples of the cultural and touristic potential of pacification, now home to a number of beautiful sight-seeing tours and a wealth of commerce. the babilônia hill first began to be settled in 1907, and was pacified in 2009 - it is now considered to be one of the more sophisticated and gentrified communities in the city, largely a product of the morar carioca government program which set in motion a number of developmental schemes. one must wander through the winding, well-paved and colorful streets of the community to reach an area of natural conservation towards the peak - since 2001, as the product of environmental action, great work has been invested in re-foresting the area so it is now also rich in fauna, forest and wildlife. | camping | |||
