# Rocinha

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Rocinha is Brazil's largest favela, a dense hillside community of roughly 72,000 people between São Conrado and Gávea. Built by its own residents from the mid-20th century, it has grown into a self-made city of concrete homes, busy shops, and vibrant street culture.
