    Sunset at Pedra do Arpoador

    • Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
    • sunset-at-pedra-do-arpoador
      Anne Gianes

    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 behind the mountains with applause. I always take my non-local friends there, and they never regret it—they always thank me for sharing such a magical experience with them.

      Christina

    The Maasai are a semi-nomadic people who live in close harmony with nature, often sharing their surroundings with wild animals. On this tour, you’ll visit a traditional Maasai village (manyatta) and learn about their daily life, cattle herding, and sustainable practices. Experience the famous Maasai dances and songs, including the warrior’s “jumping dance” (Adumu), and see how their homes are built from natural materials like mud, sticks, and cow-dung. You’ll also get a chance to observe or try traditional crafts, such as beadwork or fire-making, and gain insight into their rich cultural heritage. This visit is not only educational and immersive but also supports the local community, as many tours contribute directly to village initiatives. Remember to respect local customs, ask before taking photos, and enjoy this authentic encounter with one of Africa’s most iconic cultures.

    ☕ Atte. Coffee: A Love Letter to Guatemalan Coffee in Zona 4

    If you want to taste what real high-quality Guatemalan coffee tastes like, Atte. Coffee is an absolute must-visit. Located in the heart of the trendy and colorful Zona 4 (Vía 5), this cozy, minimalist specialty coffee shop is a tribute to local farmers.

    Why I love it & what we will do:

    Single-Origin Beans: They rotate their coffee beans constantly, sourcing directly from small farms in regions like Huehuetenango and Acatenango.

    Artisanal Methods: We can order a pour-over (V60 or Chemex) and let the barista explain the unique tasting notes of your cup.

    The Vibe: It\'s the perfect spot to start our day, sit down, chat, and watch the creative neighborhood of Zona 4 come to life while enjoying a delicious cardamom roll or fresh pastry.
