                          Arcos da Lapa

                          Lapa, an old neighbourhood in Rio’s centre, is the absolute reference point for Rio nightlife. Innumerable bars, nightclubs and concert halls are hosted in the gorgeous old buildings in various states of repair. Here you will find great samba and forró (Northeastern Brazilian music) and music from Brazilian and international bands and DJs. Fundição Progresso and Circo Voador are a couple of the larger venues.

                          The Carioca Aqueduct, more popularly known as the Arcos da Lapa is one of the postcard pictures of Rio de Janeiro. It is the most representative symbol of Old Rio that survives to this day.

Visit the various waterfalls, take a guided trip to appreciate the diversity of the forest, or trek to the very top of the city.
