Life INSIDE The Most Famous Favela In Rio De Janeiro, Brazil

Video Description

Rocinha is the largest and most populous favela in Brazil. It has a total area of around 144 hectares with a population which was measured by consensus in 2010 to 70,00 people. This However, in such a large slum with houses sprawling everywhere and a none writing and reading population such a consensus is unlikely to be accurate. An unofficial estimate put the population at 180,000 people. The people in Rocinha live in small shanties all stacked up to eleven stories high and unprofessionally built. Although most houses have basic satiation and running water and electricity, most residents live in extreme poverty as the available jobs that can pay a living wage are only for people who have a degree above the high school level. It being a slum, there is surprising transport in the local area with buses running where the roads are wide enough to allow it. There are three main bus routes as well as mototaxis which can take you around the narrow favela streets and for a higher price can take you out. Taxis are also available where roads allow. #brazil #favela #rocinha #riodejaneiro ►Subscribe and hit the bell: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwzP0IAKZkvjKyd00IhHMgQ?sub_confirmation=1 Rocinha — the city’s largest favela Life inside a Favela | Rocinha | Rio de Janeiro, Brazil A Look Inside Brazil’s Largest Favela, Rocinha in Rio De Jaenerio Inside Rio De Janeiro's Hidden Favelas Inside Rocinha, the biggest Favela in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Exploring Life in Brazil’s Largest Favela: Rocinha-Rio de Janeiro FLYING OVER THE LARGEST FAVELA IN LATIN AMERICA WITH A DRON
