1 To many Brazilians, favelas are dirty, violent,
frightening places. But to many foreigners, they are exciting,
interesting, and romantic. More and more outsiders are
4 coming from overseas to live, work, or just visit favelas,
observers say. In doing so they are highlighting the
difference between Brazilians who regard favelas with fear,
7 rejection, and even disgust, and foreigners who embrace
them as vibrant representations of modern Brazilian culture.
“In Brazil, no one likes favelas, no one thinks they
10 are cool”, says Marcelo Armstrong, the owner of a company
that runs daily tours to two Rio favelas. “Foreigners are more
open. There’s a certain romantic appeal to favelas.”
13 Although no figures are available on the number of
foreigners living in favelas, Mr. Armstrong says the number
is definitely rising and cites his own statistics as evidence.
16 The number of tourists taking his tours has risen from around
four per month in 1992, when he started the business, to
around 800 per month in 2007. Of those, only a dozen or so
19 are Brazilians, mostly the partners of foreign visitors.
