Itinerary and highlights

Hello travelers! Get ready for a unique and unforgettable experience in Cosme Velho, one of the most charming and historic neighborhoods in Rio de Janeiro. I'm a son of the neighborhood, born, raised and in love with this place. Since I was a child, I have explored its streets, trails and corners, building unforgettable memories that I now want to share with you.

More than a tour guide, I am a storyteller. Throughout the tour, I will narrate the tales and legends of Cosme Velho, revealing its secrets and showing the authentic soul of the neighborhood. Not only will you visit tourist attractions, but you will also feel the vibrancy of the community and the beauty of the nature that surrounds you.

A personalized and unforgettable itinerary with professional photography:
• Walk through the streets and alleys: We will explore the winding and charming streets of Cosme Velho, discovering centuries-old houses, flower gardens and stunning views.
• Stories and legends: I will share stories and legends that marked the neighborhood, from colonial times to the present day.
• Visits to tourist attractions: We will visit tourist attractions such as Corcovado Station, Casa Roberto Marinho, Largo do Boticário and others.
