You will then visit Atelier Bonzolandia, where you can discover local art and see how artists transform common materials into true works of art. You will also visit Bar do Gomes, one of the oldest and most iconic bars in Rio de Janeiro.
The tour continues to Parque das Ruínas, the neighborhood's public park and cultural center. Built almost at the highest point in Santa Teresa, from this spot you can enjoy panoramic views of Guanabara Bay, the city center, Sugarloaf Mountain, part of the coastline, Río de Janeiro Cathedral, and the Arcos da Lapa.

Estoy totalmente agradecido con la organización de Nómades, ya que hicieron una excepción a pesar de que era una persona sola para hacer el tour en kayak y finalmente se realizó satisfactoriamente.
