Maracanã Football Match As A Local
We'll start our adventure at the iconic Maracanã, one of the world's most famous and historic football stadiums. This venue witnessed the legendary 'Maracanazo' in 1950 when Uruguay stunned Brazil to win the World Cup, saw Germany claim their 4th World Cup trophy in 2014, and is the site where Pelé scored his 1000th goal. Our journey begins with a meet-up before the match to connect with fellow football enthusiasts. We'll gather at a lively square, surrounded by bustling bars, where local fans congregate to share stories and build excitement for the game. This is the perfect opportunity to immerse yourself in the local football culture and get to know your fellow fans. From there, we'll join the throngs of passionate supporters heading to the stadium. We'll find seats close to the most fervent fans, right where the flags wave and drums beat, ensuring you experience the electrifying atmosphere just like a local. Whether Flamengo or Fluminense is playing, especially during a thrilling local derby, you'll be right in the heart of the action!

Caminhos e histórias de Ouro Preto
Faremos uma caminhada histórica percorrendo ruas e pontos emblemáticos da história de Ouro Preto, tais como a igreja considerada a segunda mais rica do Brasil, o Chafariz do Largo do Cinema, que era importante ponto de encontro da população escravizada, e o hotel projetado por Niemeyer. Todo o percurso será recheado de informações históricas, dicas para aproveitar a cidade, e pausas para fotos e para apreciar a paisagem circundante. O passeio tem duração média de 3h (considerando as pausas para fotos e explicações) e no percurso é inevitável atravessar algumas ladeiras. Por isso, é importante ter fôlego e capacidade física para enfrentar subidas. Mas não precisa assustar, pois o ritmo da caminhada é determinado por você e seguindo suas limitações, ok? Para uma experiência mais agradável, grupos com mais de seis pessoas serão divididos em dois: um guiado por mim e outro guiado pelo Pedro, meu coanfitrião.

But what can we say regarding the dynamics of social relations and their impacts on the urban organization of downtown?

Along the way, we will pass by landmarks such as the Selarón Staircase, Municipal Theater, Portuguese Reading Room, Colombo Cafe, Imperial Chapel, Bank of Brasil Art Center, Olympic Boulevard, Museum of the Future, among others. During the walk, we will encounter buildings that are true icons of Rio's architecture, but also bars, graffiti, occupations, and streets that hold within them the untold history found in books. Thus, each tour is a unique experience as the city constantly transforms itself.
