Sure you know about a favela if you ever visited Brazil. And how about staying in one? On my last visit to Brazil I had a driver that lived in one of the favelas in Rio. It is basically unplanned and unregulated buildings erected on the sides of the mountains. You may read and see some shooting etc that happened there but in reality it self-governed territory where police does not go unless there many of them and they are in an armored car. Police is not welcomed there. Inside the favela life is simple and regular. In fact my driver was leaving his car with windows down and his car was a nice imported air-conditioned vehicle. Some houses are very nice and have modern conveniences and others do not. But please do not judge it by American or western standard. It is just different.
Now, how about staying in a favela hotel? This is exactly what is offered to you by the owner of this place. Many people did and were very happy. The can arrange a car, a guide and more!
