among all favelas in rio, the best views of the fireworks in copacabana are from the few favelas that face directly the beach. on the south-end of the beach, close to arpoador is the morro do pavão-pavãozinho, a small favela directly facing copacabana. in pavão-pavãozinho, dona azelina dos santos, an old time resident of the community, own and operates what is now famous as the best réveillon among all the favelas with a close-up, direct view of new year's show.
