Description:

Explore the bohemian quarter of Santa Teresa and visit one of Rio's popular landmarks, the Selarón Steps. Experience charming Rio street art as well as the Parque das Ruínas while enjoying expansive views over the city.

Meet your guide at Cine Odeon to begin your walking tour along Santa Teresa's narrow streets. Take a local bus or tram up the hill, passing through the Lapa Arches. Feel the enchantment as you pass by picturesque French-style mansions, a symbol of the quarter's past grandeur. Today, Santa Teresa is best known for its numerous art studios and galleries, making it into one of Rio's main cultural hubs. It is by far the city's most colorful area thanks to the impressive displays of street art.

Soon you reach Parque das Ruínas, a name derived from the ruins of an old mansion. Don't miss the viewpoint here, which offers panoramic views over Botafogo Bay and Sugarloaf Mountain. Then head to the Selarón Steps. Renovated and decorated by the Chilean artist Jorge Selarón, the stairs are regarded as his gift to the Brazilian people.
