Free Tour in Santa Teresa and Selarón Staircase
The tour lasts 3 hours
Available in English and Spanish
Description
In small groups, we'll take you on a tour of the Santa Teresa neighborhood, which is perched on a hilltop with wonderful bars, shops, and views of the city of Rio de Janeiro.
We will reach the neighborhood on the famous Santa Teresa cable car. We will pass over the Arcos da Lapa, run all the way from the gondola to the end and get off at Largo dos Guimarães.
From there we will continue on foot passing through bars, restaurants and shops and graffiti to Parque das Ruinas (close on Tuesday).
We will then go down the Santa Teresa hill, until we reach the Selarón Staircase, built by the artist Jorge Selarón, famous for containing more than 200 steps with more than 2,000 tiles from more than 60 countries. We go to the staircase for photos and get to know a little bit about the life of your builder.
To pick up the Santa Teresa hill you have to buy a ticket that costs R$ 20,00 (twenty reais)

Guiding since 2022PRO
I'm a certified Tour Guide in Cadastur, graduated in History from FGV. I've have visited more than 50 countries and traveled almost all over Brazil. I'm always eager to meet new people and cultures. I love to tell my city's history and the people who lived here and contributed to transform Rio into one of the most beautiful cities in the world. I'll show you the Rio de Janeiro that goes beyond the natural beauty: we'll discover the buildings, streets and squares through the history of the town and the characters who lived here.
