rio de janeiro has many other favelas and communities scattered around the various zones found in the city - in addition to popular, beach front favelas such as vidigal, rocinha, and chapéu-mangueira, there are many others within the zona sul and nearby areas that offer extraordingary accomodation for visitors.

nearly in all communities hostels and pousadas are the most common form of housing, particularly convenient for locals to establish as a business - almost all the hostels and pousadas are founded and ran by residents - further, we have an important section dedicated to favelas safety and tips, covering access and transport,  health and environment, bailes funk, and proper manners on this link.
