Tour of Vidigal Neighborhood
Tour Details
At the designated time, we'll meet at Praça do Vidigal. Here, depending on the size of the group, we'll either hop on motorcycles or a minibus to head to the top of the neighborhood of Vidigal. Ready to explore one of the most authentic Brazilian neighborhoods?
From the neighborhood's highest point, we'll begin descending through the alleyways and stairways that wind through the colorful houses of Vidigal. We'll make several stops at popular spots where locals socialize, where you'll have the chance to see typical scenes of everyday life.
During the tour, we'll tell you about the social, artistic, and community initiatives aimed at improving the quality of life for residents.
You'll discover how the neighborhood of Vidigal has been the film location for various cinematographic productions thanks to its urban landscapes and local atmosphere. Can you guess which movies and shows have been filmed in its streets?
We'll also visit the Mirante do Arvrão, a viewpoint offering beautiful scenic views of the coast of Río adorned with the city and the stunning Morro Dois Irmãos. Get your camera ready!
Finally, we'll start our return back to the initial meeting point, where we'll say our goodbyes after 2.5 hours.
