Overview

A tram that defies time, early 20th-century architecture, handcrafted art, and a vibrant gastronomic scene await you in Santa Teresa. This charming neighborhood is home to museums, cultural centers, and a welcoming bohemian community.

Our journey begins with a scenic tram ride into the heart of Santa Teresa. From there, we’ll walk approximately 3 to 4 km, exploring its main attractions before descending the iconic Selarón Stairway in Lapa, the third most visited site in Rio. Depending on the pace, we can continue to the historic Lapa Aqueduct and/or the nearest metro station in Cinelândia.

Meeting point

Entry of Carioca Tram station

On arrival

The meeting point will be at the Entry of the Carioca Tram station close to the Carioca Metro station.

Things to note

If the tram service is not available for some reason, we will have to suspend the trip.
The tickets for the tram are not included, so each one will have to purchase his/her own ticket. Today it cost 20 Reais each.
We will go by tram to the heart of Santa Teresa, walk around 3 to 4 Km approximately to the main attractions, and finally go down the Selarón stairway. Depending on the pace, we can continue to the Lapa Aqueduct and/or the closest metro station in Cinelândia.
As we will walk quite a bit, small children may not be able to do it without the adult's aid. The surface will not always be flat, for the streets are made of stone. We will not have heavy hills but just a few ups and downs.
Take your sunblock, mosquito repellent, and some water to drink during the trip.
Remember, this is a tipping tour, so take some pocket money for that.
