Marit Vanderberg

Rio's neighbourhoods, staircases and cable-car views

Based in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Marit first came to Rio to research the ethics of favela tourism and stayed to write about its neighbourhoods, from the Glória staircases to the forest trails above Urca. She plans city breaks around the Sugarloaf cable car, the Jardim Botânico and the quieter Zona Norte museums most guides leave out.
