It is not until I was able to step into a favela that I understand why many textbooks refers to it as a crowded and dense community. Exactly seven days after I arrived, I visited a Favela, and not any favela, the most dangerous favela in Rio de Janeiro—Morro de Alemão.
This blogpost is about the day I spent in a favela with the help of professor Vianna's colleague and her graduated student from the Universidade Do Brazil who served as guides to a trip in a community with an estimated population of 70,000* which is far from reality since this community is way bigger.

A failed replica of the Medellin gondola lift system and a community that feel hidden.
