Part of living in a community in Rio is that you also have the chance to mingle into the local culture. The community organizes every week different classes going from samba & Forro (dance from the North of Brazil) to Kickbox classes. Its a nice opportunity to have a free workout, learn and meet new people.
When staying in the Safetyinnrio, we’ll gladly inform you about the events taking place.
Safetyinnrio is more then just a house or a place to sleep. We hosted already many people from over the whole world. In many cases friendships where build with not only the house’ residents but also with the locals of the community. For sure a lifetime experience never to forget !
There is indeed no safer place in Rio nowadays than this small community called CHAPÉU MANGUEIRA, in LEME.
Chapéu Mangueira is a former favela controlled by traffickers recently taken over by a 24-hour-Peace-Making-Police Patrol called UPP which has restored peace to the community and enhanced tourism.
The Association of Residents (AACM) has developed a very interesting tour through the hills giving visitors a unique opportunity to see old Army Vigil Posts, as they pass by old preserved vegetation such as the Pau-brasil tree, heliconias augustas, along with marmosets, macaws and son on, besides learning a bit of the history of the community meeting traditional families…
The idea is that you’ll be able to have a brief compact introduction to the language (Portuguese and Spanish – English for local visitors) in a selection of theme phrases!
And the nicest part? We don’t charge you anything. A huge advantage compared to the cost of language classes in Rio ! It’s part of the philosophy of the house to help people and get them integrated in Rio’s local culture. Noting helps you better to be threaten as a local when you master the language !
See you in SafetyInnRio
