Touring the Favelas

I've seen the movie "City of God" recently and was fascinated by the scenes of the Favelas.

I guess that as a tourist it's the last place I would walk by myself, but still i'm wondering whether there is ANY option for a guided tour through the Favelas, just to get a glimpse?

I know many things. Most of them are wrong.

Check these out. They seem be pretty good options. They won't take you to Cidade de Deus specifically, but to other favelas in Rio that probably have a even more interesting scenery. And don't worry, these tours are normally very safe.

WIDE ANGLE Brazil in Black and White PBS

"Am I black or am I white?" Even before they ever set foot in a college classroom, many Brazilian university applicants must now confront a question with no easy answer. BRAZIL IN BLACK AND WHITE follows the lives of five young college hopefuls from diverse backgrounds as they compete to win a coveted spot at the elite University of Brasilia, where 20 percent of the incoming freshmen must qualify as Afro-Brazilian. Outside the university, WIDE ANGLE reports on the controversial racial debate roiling Brazil through profiles of civil right activists, opponents of affirmative action, and one of the country's few black senators.
