The tour begins at Praça XV, in the heart of Rio de Janeiro. That's where the ferry station is located, from where we take a 1.5-hour trip to Paquetá Island, a charming neighborhood of the city. There we rent bicycles to explore the island. After the ride, we stop for a snack and cold drinks. The tour lasts all day…
A morning or afternoon stroll through Rio's most charming neighborhood, including visits to museums, parks, shops, bars, cafes, and friendly restaurants, admiring the local architecture and curiosities of one of the city's oldest neighborhoods.
Downtown São Paulo is not makeup pretty. It doesn't try to seduce you with postcard views or gentle coastlines. What it offers instead is something rarer — a raw, layered, overwhelming aliveness. If you let it, this city will show you more about Brazil's history, culture, and contradictions than any museum tour ever…

Os pratos muito bem executados tem sabores indescritíveis e que acredito nunca ter experimentado em outros locais da cidade.
One of my favorite things to do in Rio is to take an afternoon stroll along the beautiful beaches of Ipanema and Arpoador. There’s nothing quite like sipping fresh coconut water while unwinding and watching the breathtaking sunset. It’s a cherished tradition among the locals, who celebrate the moment the sun dips…

Be careful with your closes... here the people…
