Description According Wikipedia: A favela is the Brazilian equivalent of a shanty town. Mostly, they have electricity, but in most cases it is illegally tapped from the public grid. Favelas are constructed from a variety of materials, ranging from bricks to garbage. Many favelas are very close and very cramped.' This photo was taken in a favela in So Paulo city.
