On arrival
See you in Largo da Portagem at the foot of the statue.
The guide will be holding a colored folder instead of an umbrella so that it will be easier to recognize it since you see many umbrellas around but there are very few people waiting with folders in hand...
Things to note
Use comfortable shoes :)
Bring water and an umbrella, useful for both hot and rainy days.
