What to expect

Eat and drink your way through Copacabana like a Carioca on a private walking tour dedicated to one of Rio de Janeiro’s most authentic cultural traditions: the botequim.

Rather than simply visiting restaurants for a series of tastings, this experience takes you through four carefully selected bars, each representing a different chapter of Copacabana’s food, drinking and bohemian culture.

Across the four stops, enjoy approximately 8 to 10 curated food and drink tastings, selected to showcase different sides of Carioca bar culture.

As you walk between venues, your private local guide will bring the neighborhood to life through stories about Copacabana’s bohemian past, its historic bars and the traditions that make botequins much more than places to eat and drink. Learn how Cariocas share petiscos, order their drinks, enjoy a “saideira,” and turn a simple neighborhood bar into one of Rio’s most important social spaces.

This is not simply a Brazilian food tour. It is a relaxed, flavorful and deeply local introduction to Copacabana through the bars that helped shape its history — and continue to be part of everyday Carioca life today.
