   30 min

2. Plaza Mauá marks the beginning of Avenida Rio Branco avenue and also of the Port Region. From 1910 on, with the inauguration of Porto do Rio ("Rio's Port"), it began an important place to welcome ships and brought tourists to the city. Around the square there are important buildings, such as the Rio Art Museum (MAR) and the Museum of Tomorrow, as well as the Night building, the first skyscraper of the city, built in 1930.

4. Following the same exploratory tour, the Carnival Experience, promoted by Grande Rio Samba School, opens the workshop for visitors who want to know a little more about the creation and production of the parade, long before it takes place at Marquês de Sapucaí Sambadrome. This unique experience shows how the allegories and customs of the school are produced, the carnivalesque designs, how the customs and the assembly of the big cars are done by hand, and shows up close the hard work of the professionals involved in the production of a parade

5. Pedra do Sal, at Conceição hill, makes part of the region historically known as small Africa, that stretched from around Plaza Mauá to Cidade Nova. On the backyard, it has happened the rural samba, played with the hands, with tambourine, plate and knifes; and dancing with tap dancing, sieved and "umbigadas". It was there that was born the urban carioca samba, that came from "popular samba" and old ranches of the carnival.

   20 min

6. We finish our tour celebrating black women and their role in samba music and afro Brazilian dance. At Largo da Prainha, you can grab a snack and some refreshments and get in the mood to join Pedra do Sal "roda de samba", living an authentic experience of Rio.

About Rio de Janeiro

Rio de Janeiro breder ut sig mellan bergen och havet, en stad med berömda stränder, granitberg, sambarytmer och ett världskänt karneval.

Kristusstatyn står med öppna armar på toppen av Corcovado och blickar ner över staden, och linbanor klättrar upp på Sockertoppen för utsikt över Guanabarabukten. Nedanför är stränderna Copacabana och Ipanema scen för vardagslivet, med volleyboll, kiosker och den vågmönstrade promenaden, medan Leblon och Arpoador förlänger stråket.

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