Nestled in the hills of central Rio, Santa Teresa’s windswept Art Deco buildings and mosaicked park spaces are the stomping grounds of artists and bohemians. Santa Teresa makes sweeping statements—unrivaled panoramas of the city below leave onlookers speechless, while the bold murals along its walls bathe the neighbourhood in colour. Trolley tracks (currently defunct) run through this intimate neighborhood’s cobblestone streets and ambrosial restaurants, adding to its folksy allure and ethereal magnetism.
