This experience is unique because it takes you beyond Rio’s famous landmarks and into the heart of one of its most authentic neighborhoods: Santa Teresa. Starting with a ride on the iconic tram, you’ll experience a piece of Rio’s history while enjoying beautiful views on the way up the hill.

As we walk through Santa Teresa’s charming streets, you’ll discover its artistic atmosphere, historic mansions, colorful murals, and viewpoints that reveal a different side of the city. Along the way, I’ll share local stories, cultural insights, and hidden details that most visitors would never notice on their own.

This experience is perfect for travelers who want to explore Rio at a relaxed pace, connect with local culture, and understand the city beyond postcards. It’s not just a tour — it’s a meaningful way to feel the soul of Rio through its history, art, and everyday life.
