Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro

Let yourself be surprised by this experience

An Immersion into Carioca Bar Culture

This tour offers an authentic experience of Rio de Janeiro’s vibrant bar culture, steering away from traditional tourist routes. From a favela to historic bars with Portuguese roots, each stop reveals a different layer of Carioca identity. Direct interaction with bar owners and the tasting of traditional dishes turn each visit into a chance to connect with the living history of the city.

Flavors That Tell Stories

Each tasting is carefully selected to represent an essential part of the local cuisine. From homemade snacks in a favela bar to pairings in traditional venues, the cold beer, typical dishes, and warm hospitality turn food into a vehicle for memory and tradition.

A Historic Journey with Flavor

More than just a walk, this tour is a journey through time across Copacabana’s most iconic corners. Along the beachfront promenade, the Copacabana Palace, Praça do Lido, and Beco das Garrafas, participants discover how history, architecture, and music have shaped Rio’s most famous neighborhood. All of this is guided by Murillo Pijnappel, a passionate expert who turns each stop into a living story.
