Me and my friend went to this tour on February 2015.
The nice guider came to pick us up from the hostel, without letting us wait. Since the first moment she explained us about everything and everywhere, answered our questions and was very kind! When we got to the favela, there was another guider who did the tour in the favela with us, so that the one that took us could wait for us downstairs. The other guider was so friendly! She knew everyone in the favela and it seems she has been there for many many times. It was so interesting and fascinating. She knows perfect english and Portuguese. The tour was not like a "zoo" (watching people living their
Life) we felt connected to the people there. And they were very nice and welcomed us. Not dangerous at all!!!

If you are in rio, DONT miss this tour! A very important experience.

It´s carnival time and this is a very common time to lose documents. So, we from Rio Colours will give you a tip: if you are foreigner with residence in Brazil and had lost your Brazilian ID (CIE), you must apply to a new one at a Federal Police Department closest to your residence with your valid passport or travel document (Mercosul citizen), 2 recents photos, criminal records, taxes paid and form 154. It´s important to know that Federal Police has discretionary power and at some cases may ask you more documents, this is normal. More information about it, contact us!

Sugarloaf + Christ the Redeemer are very famous touristic places in Rio de Janeiro, but do you know why Sugar Loaf has this name?
There are many different versions about the origin of Sugarloaf´s name and one of then is that when Portuguese people were exploring sugar cane in Brazil, the sugar was transported to Europe in blocks and those pieces were very similar to the original mountain.
It is so cute when clouds are surrounding the top of the mountain and making it similar to a bread with baker´s sugar. This is also a good reason for its name, don´t you think?

Once in Rio, have you ever passed under a tree with a giant fruit?
Probably yes!
It´s jack fruit, an exotic fruit from Asia that was introduced in Brazil around 1850 when the Forest was replanted.
It´s delicious, you should try it!!! A good opportunity to see and enjoy this fruit is coming with us in Tijuca Forest Tour, you´re gonna love it!

Rio de Janeiro it´s not just samba and carnival, it´s much more! And a piece of diversity of this wonderful city stays at the north zone of the city: São Cristóvão Fair! It's a tradicional Northeast Fair in Rio de Janeiro and music there is not Samba but also Forró!
Forró is a typical rhythm and dance from the Northeast of Brazil. The curiosity about the name is that this term cames from the expression of the English language FOR ALL.
Let´s explain better: at World War II, the USA had a military base in Natal, Northeast of Brazil and every Friday they had a party open to the public, FOR ALL and the term would be pronounced "forró" by Northeastern people.
It´s a really vibrant music and you can join us in a tour, drink a ginger shot (tradicional drink) and have fun with our forro classes!
