Rio de Janeiro: Vidigal Guided Tour with Drone Video

Explore Vidigal on a guided tour in Rio de Janeiro. Ride a moto-taxi to the highest point of the community, visit local bars, and discover Brota Vidigal, a community project selling local handicrafts.
Begin your tour at Vidigal Square and ride up by moto-taxi to the highest part of the community. Discover the local food route, featuring three bars that are already certified tourist landmarks in Rio de Janeiro: Bar da Laje, Mirante do Arvrão, and Quiosque do Arvrão.

Next, continue the tour on foot along Vidigal's main road, heading down toward Vila Olímpica while learning about the community's history along the way. This is also where the local capoeira project is based.

Make your way through the alleys and narrow passageways, descending the community via its stairways until you reach Brota Vidigal, a community project selling handicrafts made entirely by local residents.

Head down to Largo do Santinho, passing by the health clinic, the residents' association, and Beco do 14, showcasing the everyday life of the community and its residents: local markets, a pharmacy, Beco das Artes, and Laje do 14.

Finally, end the tour at Horta do Vidigal, a beautiful spot facing the sea, built by the residents themselves, where nothing is sold and everything there is donated.
