Tour
Santa Teresa has a long love affair with the art world, and today's tour will offer a glimpse into it. From the early 20th-Century and the times of Laurinda Santos Lobo, one of Rio's great patrons of the arts, to today's world-famous street artists, this area has attracted creative types for generation after generation. One can feel the spirit of this district and its people by visiting the ateliers of those who have adopted the neighborhood as their home, and the ideal place to expand their imagination. This morning then, the guide will lead the way to visit three artists who live and work in Santa Teresa. Time will be spent in their workshops, discovering the creative process, techniques and inspiration behind not just their own work, but also the wider artistic culture associated with Santa Teresa, Rio, and Brazil as a whole. Later, there will be time to explore the nearby artist market, with an opportunity to pick up some unique pieces and memorable souvenirs. The rest of the day is spent at leisure in Santa Teresa or elsewhere in Rio.
