I'm going to Brazil soon and I'll be staying in Rio

I'm going to Brazil soon and I'll be staying in Rio for a few months. I plan on soaking up as much of the local culture as possible while I'm there. While I'm excited to explore the famous tourist spots (Ipanema, Big Jesus etc.) I also plan on exploring the more gritty parts of the city to get a comprehensive exposure of the place. I'm also a photographer so I'm interested in taking photos of all aspects of Rio life. To do this I'm going to do some Favela exploration. I don't have a guide but I have a phone with GPS so I'll just use that. I plan on exploring and documenting as much of the Favelas as possible. I know there's some bad Favelas but I have street smarts so I think I'll be ok.

Any tips for a keen explorer?

Don't. It's a very dangerous place. You WILL get mugged.

Oh jeez, this is not the first world. Urban exploration is not a thing here Anon, I wish it was, there are plenty of interesting places to see, but it will get you killed. Street smarts will not help with anything, the criminals standing guard in and around the favelas know every single person that lives in that community and will prevent any stranger from going inside. You will stick out like a sore thumb and be shot and robbed.
>>
>>78073333
I've already got a plan for this. I bought some cheap phones to carry with me so that if I do get mugged I give them my shitty phone and not my good one. I also plan to tan up and dress like I'm poor so hopefully that will act as a further deterrence.

Almost a hundred police officers have been killed in Rio since January. The army was brought in because of the diminishing numbers of police and even then there's no effect.

If it's so dangerous, why do so many people live there? Surely among the hundreds of thousands of people that live in the favelas and travel in and out every day, they're not going to notice one more walking around. Obviously I'm not going to wander into the notorious gang territory neighbourhoods that will instantly get me killed, and I'm not going to go greeting and speaking to every person I see. I do have street smarts, and I'll try and find a guide if I have to.

Most cities are not as bad like Rio, in São Paulo if you enter a place dominated by some gang they don't give a fuck, but in Rio they will kill you, it's really dangerous and even brazilians make fun of how you get shot in Rio.

>>78073617
Why are you trying to scare me? I told you I'm not going to go into the notoriously bad neighbourhoods that are gang territory. Lots of people have gone into the favelas and documented their experiences there. You make it out like it's Syria or some shit, but that's like saying the entirety of Detroit is a war zone. Sure there's bad parts, but that's why you avoid the bad parts. If I have a guide with me who knows the area I don't see what the big problem is. Random gangs aren't going to purposely seek out foreigners and kill them because of the police attention it would draw to them. It's bad for their business.

I don't get why you think Rio and São Paulo gangs are any different.
Drug dealers want to sell drugs, you're in more danger from "independent" muggers.
>>
>>78073856
>>78073888

Because they don't know if it's someone from another gang or police trying to enter their territory, it has nothing to do with stealing stuff, it's pretty much a war in there.
They will not shot you at sigh but they will tell you to get out or at least show yourself if you're inside a car but since you're gringo who don't speak portuguese you will get shot.

So they see a white person, and don't assume it's just a dumb tourist, but either an undercover cop or a rival gang member?
>>
>>78073927
They're not different in being better than the other but in São Paulo one gang controls pretty much everything while in Rio they have tons of gang fighting each other.
In São Paulo they're big enough they don't have to care about random people going into their area and they don't shot random people like in rio but they're both dangerous of course.

I'm sure an australia tourist will stick out.

>>78073994
He's being hyperbolic. Most likely they'll assume you're there to buy drugs.

>>78074031
That's what I mean, so they surely wouldn't assume he's native, would they still kill him? Or 'just' rob him?

white people can be as violent as rio monkeys? i doubt that
>>
>>78073948
Why would they be more inclined to kill a tourist/foreigner than a local? Wouldn't that mean that 1) They're extremely unlikely to be a threat and 2) Draw police attention that they're trying to avoid?

Police can't go inside favela, they don't really care.

I don't understand why a lot of gringos want to visit Rio, there's literally tons of better beaches in Brazil and tons of better places with much less violence.
I understand favelas could be cool to walk a look but Brazil is in not a good moment travel to somewhere else.

They watch too much movies. The are so deluded that they think they are going to have an adrenaline-rushing adventure by going to those places. Their first world logic closes them to think about danger much greater than they can imagine.

Anyways, what places d you recommend visiting instead of Rio?

São Paulo it's one of the safest capitals.

But for tourism it's a bit boring if you've been memed into "all of Brazil is like Rio".

Here foreigners are mostly businessmen or exchange students.

It's a famous international city, what's not to love? Yeah I get that there's dangerous parts of the city but you can say the same about anyplace in the developing world. I think a lot of the anons in this thread are trying to scare me with hyperbole. Not every favela neighbourhood is a gang invested, "kill whitey" warzone that you will instantly get shot at the second you walk into. If I have a Brazillian friend to walk through the Favelas with me I will be fine. You can't visit rio and just ignore all the favelas. It's an integral part of the cultural identity of the place.

Please don't go to the favelas. It's such a bad idea.
There isn't much to see in the favelas anyway.
Don't go there, man. For reals. It's too dangerous for such small payoff.
Btw, what do you look like? Weight, height, skin color, eye color?

Fernando de Noronha,Porto de Galinhas (good beaches but expensive north in general have good beaches).
Ouro Preto and Minas gerais in general is really cool for historic Brazil stuff, Foz do Iguaçu is beautiful too.
Of course you have amazon and pantanal if you want to see animals and nature.

If you have someone native to Rio who really knows the city I guess it will be less of problem, just don't go walking alone I guess.
You seem really determined to go, so I can't say much and be careful and always walk with a brazilian and don't follow GPS tons of people get killed by waze sending them to dangerous places.

This country is fucking awesome.

In one state we have favela lovers which the rich/midclass parts of the city votes heavily on leftards so favelas can contiue to exist and live their "Bohemio"(read: lazy) lifestyles. (Rio)

On other state the rich/midclass votes on "right-wing" politicians and favelas being bulldoze'd down are a common sight. People there really want to develop. (São Paulo)

Not to mention the south, centerwest and southeast countryside with their cowboy/country culture. And finally northeast and north with their strong cultural influence.

I fucking love Brazil, even if i want 80% of population to drop dead.
>>
>>78075108
Actually we do have them, what we have is parallel court sharia and secular. Sharia court handles islamic cultural law and nothing heavier than 2years jail while all non muslim are subjected to secular laws.
Brainwashed leftists and marxists are on the rise in recent years, they even complained the military is evil for denying the burial of commie leader who caused decades of insurgency over here.
All my friends in military and police are complaining about being held back by muh hooman rights while the leftists live in guarded community and ignorant of the necessity of harsh actions.
Last time police launched nationwide crime crackdown they complained 'scared of police in black uniform'.
