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 secure seats that let you fully immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere, giving you a true taste of the local passion. Whether it's Flamengo, Fluminense, or any other team in action, you'll be right in the midst of the excitement, especially during an exhilarating local derby!

Foodies about town

This delicious introduction to food and drinks from around Brazil is unlike any other. Over the course of 4-5 hours, we'll eat and drink our way across the most interesting parts of Rio that most visitors never get to see. We'll start in one of Rio's bustling street markets, where we'll taste exotic fruits and street food dishes. After that, we'll head to my favorite Brazilian-Portuguese restaurant in Lapa for a taste of old-school Brazil, where the waiters dress in white jackets, and serve the most delicious salt cod croquettes in town. From there, we'll wander into Centro, the oldest part of the city to visit a secret foodie hotspot, a hole-in-the-wall serving classic boteco snacks (think Brazilian tapas). We’ll then take a short ride to Flamengo, where we'll taste the uniquely delicious regional dishes, first from Northeastern Brazil and finally from the Amazon. IMPORTANT: There is a different meeting point each day of the week and the Airbnb app is not able to handle this, so we will give you detailed information on how to get to the meeting point in a message after you book. ALSO: We generally do NOT serve feijoada or the rodizio style churrasco (all you can eat barbecue). But we can help you find the very best of both!
