Overview of your Rio De Janeiro tour

A boteco is the beating heart of Rio de Janeiro's social life. More than just a bar, it is a neighborhood institution where ice-cold draft beer flows freely, and the kitchen never stops producing small plates of extraordinary food known as petiscos. Unlike cocktail bars or fine-dining restaurants, the boteco operates on a principle of radical inclusivity: the working-class laborer, the university professor, and the retired fisherman all sit elbow to elbow, sharing the same food and the same cold chopp. This tour takes you to three of the city's most storied botecos — each rooted in a different neighborhood, each carrying its own distinct personality and culinary legacy.
