This is the meeting point where history intertwines with the emergence of the Vidigal community. With a Local Guide so that during the journey you can learn stories and curiosities.
Top view, it is one of the symbols of the community
Vidigal Square, the main entrance to the community, a vibrant place where residents arrive and depart daily in contrast with various murals, art and writings that symbolize the resistance, permanence and resilience of the community. From this point to the Upper part of the community we usually go by motor taxi which is the same transport used daily by residents and tourists by experienced drivers
At the top we started by knowing the Villa Olimpica Vidigal: Social Projects, Sport, Art and Culture
Panoramic view from the top of the community, the location where the most famous bars are situated with the most beautiful view of Rio de Janeiro. Time to relax, have some water, beer, juice, or a drink enjoying the singular view from the top of the community in contrast with the most beautiful beaches of Rio de Janeiro. After we start the descent, immersion in daily life, where you will get to know the main viewpoints of the beautiful community, stories and curiosities. We descended through the interior of Vidigal, because it is among alleys and narrow streets that the magic of this place shines, with every step you will contemplate something different, paintings, graffiti, art, culture, experience, receptivity, residential structures of the most diverse, movement between internal paths of the most varied, and local commerce, while at the same time being surprised by some beautiful viewpoints during the descent.

About Rio de Janeiro
Rio de Janeiro sweeps between mountains and ocean, a city of famous beaches, granite peaks, samba rhythms and a carnival known around the world.
Christ the Redeemer stands with open arms atop Corcovado, looking down on the city, and cable cars climb Sugarloaf Mountain for views across Guanabara Bay. Below, the beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema are the stage for daily life, with volleyball, kiosks and the wave-patterned promenade, while Leblon and Arpoador extend the strip.
Top-ranked sights in Rio de Janeiro: Christ the Redeemer Statue (Cristo Redentor), Sugarloaf Mountain (Pao de Açúcar), Selarón Steps (Escadaria Selarón).
