Upcoming fixtures: Apr, 17th: Flamengo v São Paulo Apr, 20th: Fluminense v Vasco da Gama Apr, 28th: Flamengo v Botafogo Maracanã is one of the world's most famous and important football stadiums. Stage of 'Maracanazo', when Uruguay surprisingly defeated Brazil and won the first World Cup final played here in 1950. Where the Germans won their 4th World Cup trophy in 2014 and where Pelé scored his goal number 1000. Currently, Flamengo and Fluminense play at the Maracanã as their home stadium bringing up exciting matches especially when they face each other in a local derby! We will meet before the match to create an opportunity to connect the group by sharing local football stories and getting to know each other. This will take place at a square surrounded by bars where the fans usually gather before matches to get in the proper mood!

Our goal's to make you experience it as a local!

This tour is non-discriminatory and LGBTQIA+ friendly. **Drinks and food are included in the price! Bars and their food are part of the local culture here in Brazil. You'll find different kinds of bars with local food in each state and/or city. It's an excellent way to explore local gastronomy. With this in mind, we will explore some top street bars (we call them: botecos) with the best local food in the city, and we will uncover a part of Rio that most people don't know about. We will attend a total of 4 (four) local bars. We will focus on the food, exploring each boteco's specialty. The tour takes between 3h and 3h30 depends on the size of the group. **Drinks and food are included in the price!** If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. :) Other things to note: - If you are vegan or vegetarian, you won't enjoy it as much. - If you don't drink beer, no problem, just inform me when booking. - Depending on the circumstances (allergies/weather/time of day), my tours can have a few changes (different pubs/neighborhoods) that you'll be notified of beforehand.

This delicious introduction to food and drinks from around Brazil is unlike any other. Over the course of 4-5 hours, we'll eat and drink our way across the most interesting parts of Rio that most visitors never get to see. We'll start in one of Rio's bustling street markets, where we'll taste exotic fruits and street food dishes. After that, we'll head to my favorite Brazilian-Portuguese restaurant in Lapa for a taste of old-school Brazil, where the waiters dress in white jackets, and serve the most delicious salt cod croquettes in town. From there, we'll wander into Centro, the oldest part of the city to visit a secret foodie hotspot, a hole-in-the-wall serving classic boteco snacks (think Brazilian tapas). We’ll then take a short ride to Flamengo, where we'll taste the uniquely delicious regional dishes, first from Northeastern Brazil and finally from the Amazon. IMPORTANT: There is a different meeting point each day of the week and the Airbnb app is not able to handle this, so we will give you detailed information on how to get to the meeting point in a message after you book. ALSO: We generally do NOT serve feijoada or the rodizio style churrasco (all you can eat barbecue). But we can help you find the very best of both!
