What other reason is there to travel? You go to these places to see the sites, sure, but you mostly go there to eat their food, drink their beer and fuck their women. You cannot experience much of the local culture unless you live there anyway. To suggest that as a single guy you are going to a foreign country for a week because you would like to experience the local culture is pretentious to the extreme.
If you end up getting robbed by some favela kids, I'd say you experienced some of the local culture. Though not the kind you'd hoped for!
