Some years ago (about 15 years) we spent time in Brazil.On our last full day there we took a day tour of a National Park near Rio called Tejuca National Park.
It was a very nice park located on one of the many hillsides (mountainsides?) around Rio and as we ascended the hillside the tour guide directed our attention to a nearby hillside littered with ramshackle shacks.She said it was a "favela" and that it was so dangerous the Brazilian Army doesn't attempt to enter it even in daylight!

Favelas,,,
I remember seeing that as well.
I was there for an IndyCar race.
