The favela is almost like the slums, but are usually located around hills, which gives them the look that can be seen in the video "Beautiful", from Snoop Dogg.
Favelas are areas of poor housing built on land that nobody else wants on steep hills or a long way out of town. People build their own houses out of whatever materials they can find.
