I recently traveled to Rio with four friends and we had the pleasure of spending two days hanging out with Alex aka Dan Blanquito. Alex was gracious enough to take us on a tour through his favela, which is perched above Copacabana. It was a fascinating experience and we had the opportunity to interact with many locals as well as take in the incredible sights. Alex is an affable guy and made us feel right at home. We even had lunch at his apartment. The next night, Alex hosted us at a local nightclub where he and some other musicians were performing. This was by far one of the highlights of our trip and few tourists have the opportunity to experience the "real" Rio. If you find yourself in Rio looking for a real cultural experience, give Alex a call. He will make your trip!
