Vidigal is a neighborhood and favela in Rio de Janeiro, nestled between Leblon and São Conrado.

Once pacified in 2011, it has seen some ups and downs with crime but remains a vibrant community with a mix of locals and tourists exploring its streets and hiking trails. Vidigal has a few famous rooftop bars, which are great options of places to go for an afternoon drink.
