Santa Teresa is for sure one of the highlights of Rio de Janeiro and we'll get there by taking a 100 year old train which runs over the aqueduct past Lapa and snail itself up the winding street.
Named after a monastery the neighbourhood started to get constructed in the 18th century. In the late 19th century it had become a favourite with the bohemians and artists
Museums:
Parque das Ruinas. The former home of one of the cultural personalities of Rio was abandoned in 1946. Today the city of Rio has made the ruins open for the public and various cultural events take place there and the view is breath taking.
Chacara do Céu The former home of Raymundo Castro Maya offers not only great views of the city. He had dedicated his life to the finer arts as a supporter and collector and his house has now become a museum. The permanent exhibition features canvases by Picasso, Dali, and Miró and Brazilian painters like Portinari and Di Cavalcanti.
In Santa Teresa you'll find some of the best restaurants in Rio. |
