great pictures, I thought it wasn't recommended to travel to the favelas? Esp if you are a gringo?
Well yeah, its not safe to go into a favela without knowing someone is most cases. But in my circumstances, I am pretty certain it was pretty safe (went with a tour group into the favela during the day, went with a women who lives in the favela for that July party, and took a taxi straight into the favela that dropped us outside the disco which always gets a ton of gringos to go).
