To tourist Rio De Janerio means ; Carnival, good food, beautiful beaches and bikini models. To the poor it means living in the crowded , unsanitary and drug infested favellas. There are more than 800 favellas in Rio and they came into existance after the Canudos Civil in 1895 -1896.The soldiers and people of African decent built houses from whatever materials they can find because the government failed to accomodate them with housing after the war!
