Paraisópolis sits beside the wealthy Morumbi district, which makes it one of the city's best-known symbols of inequality. The land was planned for upper-class housing in 1921 when the old Morumbi farm was divided into plots. Growth followed after a 1942 law froze rents and people looked for affordable housing, and construction of the nearby Morumbi Stadium drew more.
Population figures vary widely: unofficial estimates run from about 60,000 to over 100,000, and the 2022 census counted 58,527 residents, with the caveat that such territories lack firmly set boundaries. It is widely reported as the second-largest favela in the city and among the densest areas in Brazil.
Favelas are neighborhoods where people live and work, not attractions. The value of going with a guide from the community is that you hear from residents about local businesses, artists and projects in their own words.
