Tour description

Welcome to Rio de Janeiro!

Come walk with me, a local guide from Rio de Janeiro, through the famous streets of the historic neighborhoods of Lapa and Santa Teresa.

A path full of art and beautiful landscapes with historic constructions and buildings from the colonial period. It is also where we can see the bohemia and artistic scene of Rio expressed through time. 

At the meeting point located at Praça Floriano, Cinelândia metro station, we will already be surrounded by historic and important buildings, we will continue to the famous Arcos da Lapa and then the Selarón stairs, full of colors and surprises, yield good photos.

Rising to the sky literally lol we will enter the bucolic neighborhood of Santa Teresa. There we will visit the park of the ruins, be careful because this view will be difficult to forget. 

We continue through Santa Teresa to the final destination, the exuberant Metropolitan Cathedral.

Hey ho let's go!
