 Breaking the law in style Apr 18, 2008
One of the golden securty rules of Rio is never go by yourself to a favela, specially at night... Well, The Maze in is the place to break it! This amazing art gallery and bar (and also a B&B) is hidden on a calm favela in Catete, at the south zone of Rio. Every first friday of the month, this place turns into a jazz club, where cool locals and well informed foreigners meet to listen great jazz, bossa nova and samba. All that with great caipirinhas and an amazing view of Rio. And if you are a musician, dont be shy to talk to the musicians and perform with them, is highly recomended by then.
I just dont place a highly recomended because the only beer sold is Priums, a bad brazilian beer. Arrive early to get a good place with the view and get the discount, paying R$ 5 to get in. |

Favellas are the masses of houses that occupy the hills all around Brazil. The Word favella comes from the plant that once thrived on the hills on which the goats ate. As the plant and goats slowly dissapeared the "Favella" houses grew and grew. The…maze of houses stacked on top of eachother, it was really claustrophobic. At one point me and dad hung back from the group to take pictures as we turned the next corner, the group was nowhere to be seen, there were 4 lots of steps… Favelas.. |
