 Santa Teresa and it's train (bonde) Mar 21, 2008
Santa Teresa, in my opinion, is the best neighborhood in Rio (with Lapa). It's really old and the most charming and fun thing to do there it take a ride in the old train around there.
Take the subway to Carioca station and it will be easy to find the train station. It costs only BRL 0.75. It leaves the station and goes all the way up and around Santa Teresa, where you'll the best artsy-popular restaurants in Rio and all kinds of people around. It's funny, it's wild! Haha, just kidding about the wild (it's really) slow. But it's fun to pass above Lapa Arches (Arcos da Lapa) and jump off the train to check something interesting and walk around, and then jump back in.  Part of the Voyage voyage... travel blog Part of the list Rio the Janeiro is still beautiful...

Santa Teresa has plenty of quint restaurants and interesting bars in which to sample the local food and drink. Catching the tram through Santa Teresa to Central was great fun, especially the view as the tram rumbles across the tall white bridge across Lapa.

It also has a cable car (Bund) similar to those in San Francisco. It occurred to me that I have yet ridden… The beaches, Santa Teresa, and Maracana |

We spent Carnaval in the hilltop artists’ enclave of Santa Teresa - the only place we could find last-minute lodging. We saw the touristy things: the giant Jesus statue, Ipanema and Copacabana. And our B&B host Pedro took us rock climbing in an improbably dense state forest overlooking the city… Carnival |

…the weather was awful for touring in an open-topped car, but it was nice anyway and we saw the districts of Urca, Botafogo, Lapa, Santa Teresa and Centro. The stairs at Lapa are very famous and we had a bonus in that the artist Seleron was there and showed us all the newest additions (it´s made of tiles donated by people from all over the world).
Today was a wicked… Touring Rio |
