Watch out for

• Street muggings and cell phone snatching are frequent during the day, particularly near major roadway corridors and under the viaducts like Viaduto do Glicerio.
• Walking through the neighborhood after dark is strongly discouraged due to poorly lit, desolate streets and an elevated risk of armed robbery.
• Proximity to central drug trade enclaves means vulnerable pedestrians may encounter aggressive panhandling or robbery by individuals under the influence.
