favelas or barrios
shantytowns in Brazil are called favelas
Favelas are a bit like slums but often found in mexico up steep hills.
They are called favelas because it comes from the flower "favela" because where the favela's are built (on hills and mountains) there would be a large amount of them growing where the shanty towns are.
Ranchos are small farms where as favelas (or favelos) are shanty towns, normally found in Brazil.

favelas
Favelas are made from any available materials, such as corrugated iron sheets, plastic, wood and even cardboard.
The favelas take a large area, actually. However, the houses are small and close together.
