Destacados

Explore Rio’s dynamic mix of street art, history, and culture in a journey that blends graffiti with the city’s most iconic landmarks. This tour goes beyond murals, connecting travelers to the stories that shaped Rio’s identity — from its Belle Époque splendor to its Afro-Brazilian heritage. Embark on a 3-hour walking experience that begins in front of the Municipal Theater at Cinelândia, where Belle Époque architecture and cultural treasures set the stage. Continue to the world-famous Selarón Steps, a vibrant mosaic masterpiece by Chilean artist Jorge Selarón. From there, admire Eduardo Kobra’s monumental “Etnias” mural, once the world’s largest by a single artist. The tour then leads into Pequena África and Bafo da Prainha, areas filled with Afro-Brazilian history. The journey concludes at Praça Mauá, a lively waterfront square home to the Museum of Tomorrow and the Rio Art Museum (MAR). Guests may choose to stay exploring or count on the guide’s help to return to their hotel.

About Río de Janeiro

Río de Janeiro se despliega entre montañas y océano: playas famosas, picos de granito, ritmos de samba y un carnaval conocido en todo el mundo.

El Cristo Redentor se alza con los brazos abiertos en lo alto del Corcovado, mirando la ciudad desde arriba, y los teleféricos suben al Pan de Azúcar para ofrecer vistas sobre la bahía de Guanabara. Abajo, las playas de Copacabana e Ipanema son el escenario de la vida diaria, con voleibol, quioscos y el paseo de dibujo ondulado, mientras Leblon y Arpoador prolongan la franja.

Top-ranked sights in Río de Janeiro: Christ the Redeemer Statue (Cristo Redentor), Sugarloaf Mountain (Pao de Açúcar), Selarón Steps (Escadaria Selarón).
