Itinerary

1
Lose yourself among sweets and salty snacks at the confectionery Colombo. It’s a fascinating place that is sure to impress not only for its marvelous food, but also for its appearance and rich history that is part of Rio’s historic and artistic patrimony being officially declared as a cultural heritage.
2
We then take the cool tram ride from the “downtown” going over the Lapa Arches (aqueduct), following through slopes and cultural spots such as Ruinas Park that overlooks the city offering an amazing view.
3
Santa Teresa has become an artist enclave in recent years, and is a great place to spend an afternoon, wandering among eateries, enjoying a cold beer, and checking out trendy bars and restaurants offering several options of snacks and dishes, not to mention its breathtaking views. Don’t miss out on it!
4
5 minutes from the Arches, connecting Santa Teresa to Lapa, there is the famous Selaron steps, a stairway decorated with colorful tiles. Known for its energetic bohemian vibe, “Lapa” is the most buzzing area in town day and nighttime. Arguably the most colorful area in Rio to drink and taste the best typical food.
5
At the end of the tour, have a spot at a traditional Rio's bar to have a cold beer.

While caipirinha may well be the national drink, what Brazilians truly love is an extra cold beer or chopp (draft beer) for Brazil’s hot and humid days. It is widely available in bars, in restaurants, and in brew-pubs specialized in chops, snack foods, conversation and music.
