Activity itinerary

Rei do Mate

Meet your guide at the historic Carioca Station as the city transitions into night. We kick off at a local favorite for a warm cup of gooey Pão de Queijo (12 pieces to share) paired with a traditional, refreshing ice-cold Mate with Lemonade (300ml)—the quintessential Rio street refreshment.

Armazém Senado

Step back in time at a historic, century-old local tavern. Here, you'll toast the night with an authentic shot of artisanal Cachaça and a tongue-numbing shot of Amazonian Jambu to share. To balance the drinks, you'll dig into two traditional chicken Empadinhas (savory, flaky oven pies).

Restaurante Baby Galeto

Head deeper into the lively streets of Lapa. At this neighborhood staple, we taste two of Brazil's absolute favorite savory bar bites: a portion of crispy, golden Bolinho de Bacalhau (6 codfish cakes) and traditional teardrop-shaped chicken Coxinha (6 units).

Barraca da Fátima - Melhores Drinks, Caipirinhas e Caipifrutas da Lapa - RJ

Visit the world-famous Selarón Steps as they light up for the evening. Here, we stop at a legendary street stall for a massive, freshly muddled 500ml street Caipirinha. Sip Brazil’s national cocktail while soaking in the vibrant bohemian energy and colorful tile mosaics.

Jurema da Lapa Alimentos e Bebidas LTDA

Keep the energy moving down the lively bohemian alleyways of Lapa. We stop at this popular local hotspot to snack on a fresh portion of piping-hot, crispy Fried Polenta—the ultimate savory comfort food to share among friends.

Mureta da Lapa

Conclude the food journey at the famous street wall of Lapa right by the iconic Arcos da Lapa aqueduct. Bite into a freshly grilled, smoky Pão de Alho (Brazilian Garlic Bread) stuffed with rich garlic cream and melted cheese, leaving you in the absolute perfect spot to continue your night out in Rio.
