Return details
The tour concludes in a central, lively square ideal for continuing your evening.

  • Kick off your culinary walk along iconic Rua Uruguaiana with two beloved Brazilian daily staples. Share a warm cup of golden, chewy Pão de Queijo (traditional cassava flour cheese bread balls) alongside a cold, iced Mate com Limão—toasted yerba mate tea blended with tangy lemonade, the ultimate refreshing start to exploring downtown Rio.
  • Step inside a historic 1907 antique boteco in Centro for an authentic spirit and snack tasting. Share a shot of artisanal Cachaça (distilled sugar cane spirit) and a shot of native Amazonian Jambu—a tingling herbal spirit—paired with flaky, savory Empadinhas (mini baked savory pies).
  • Wander into the Bohemian heart of Lapa for classic bar bites (comida de boteco). Savor a plate of crispy, golden Bolinhos de Bacalhau (salt cod fritters) alongside savory Coxinhas—tear-drop-shaped fried croquettes filled with seasoned chicken and creamy cheese.
  • Arrive at the foot of world-famous Escadaria Selarón, the vibrant tiled staircase created by artist Jorge Selarón. Toast to the iconic surroundings with a freshly shaken, ice-cold Caipirinha, prepared with local cachaça, muddled fresh limes, and sugar at a beloved neighborhood street stand.
  • Tuck into a vibrant local gathering spot in Lapa to enjoy a cozy Brazilian comfort food staple. Feast on hot, golden Polenta Frita—thick-cut cornmeal fries cooked until crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, perfect for sharing.
  • Conclude your walking tour soaked in Lapa’s evening atmosphere with a classic churrasco favorite. Indulge in warm Pão de Alho—crusty Brazilian garlic bread stuffed with a rich, creamy garlic-and-herb cheese mixture and toasted over flames until golden and bubbling.
