We will visit the Escadaria Selarón, a colorfully tiled staircase, the work of Chilean self-taught artist Jorge Selarón. Having traveled the world, Selarón moved to Rio in 1983, in a small house right in front of the deserted staircase that connected the areas of Lapa and Santa Teresa. 215 steps that were covered with tiles collected in urban areas of Rio or donated by visitors from all over the world. Since 1990, Selarón has collected more than 2,000 pieces, mostly red: unique pieces that represent a “tribute to the Brazilian people”.

The Carioca Aqueduct is located downtown, in the Lapa neighborhood, and is often called Arcos da Lapa by Brazilians. Since the end of the 19th century, the aqueduct has served as a bridge for the popular tram that connects the city center to the Santa Teresa neighborhood, the Santa Teresa tram
