in most cases, however, taxi an cars can only reach so far inside the community as the roads might become too narrow - this is why it is important to wear walking shoes no matter what the initial purpose of going to a favela may be.
access is not limited to walking, moto taxis, taxis, and minivans - some favelas were the recipients of development projects that built elevators, gondolas, trams and other lift systems to ferry people from the entry points all the way to remote areas deep within.
notable examples are the elevator of cantagalo, the tram in santa marta, and the teleférico in complexo do alemăo, a landmark project that forever changed access the area and significantly improved the accessibility community.
