A favela (slum) in central Rio de Janeiro. A very high population density and is the largest favela in Rio and one of the largest in Brazil. The favela is almost like its own city, and the drug dealers and trafficers are the rulers. Police find it hard to pentrate the favela because of its narrow windy streets and alleyways that stretch all the way up the mountain.
