The Favelas in Rio De Janiero


Rio De Janiero


Where is Rio De Janiero?The State of Rio de Janeiro has as capital the city of Rio de Janeiro. The city of

Rio is the most well known Brazilian city, with famous landmarks like Copacabana beach, the Sugar Loaf and the Christ; however, other cities from Rio are relevant. It is the second largest city of Brazil, and the third largest metropolitan area in South America, boasting approximately 6.3 million people. Rio de Janeiro represents the second largest GDP in the country. Rio de Janeiro is on a strip of Brazil's Atlantic coast, close to the Tropic of Capricorn.

Favelas


What is a Favela?A favela is the term for a shanty town in Brazil, most often

within urban areas. In the late 18th century, the first settlements were called bairros africanos (African neighbourhoods). This was the place where former slaves with no land ownership and no options for work lived. Over the years, many freed black slaves moved in.

Rio's Santa Teresa neighborhood features favelas (right) contrasted with more affluent houses (left). The Cristo Redentor, shrouded in clouds, is in the left background.


Drugs and the favelaThe cocaine trade has affected Brazil and in

turn its favelas, which tend to be ruled by drug lords. Regular shoot-outs between traffickers and police and other criminals, as well as assorted illegal activities, lead to murder rates in excess of 40 per 100,000 inhabitants in the city of Rio and much higher rates in some Rio favelas.
