Tavares Bastos is downtown Rio’s most laid-back community, perched above the Catete neighborhood. We ride mototaxis up and walk down, through alleys, small shops and everyday stories.
The most famous moment is the FIFA Street pitch — yes, that one: a game there is mandatory. All around it, the real life of the community and views you don’t expect this close to downtown.
