Arco do Teles

The Arco do Teles is an arch which used to be part of three luxury homes. The whole complex was built in 1755 and most of it was destroyed by fire in 1790
Behind the arch is a picturesque alley (Travessa do Comercio) with buildings dating from the 19th century.

In the evenings (from 5pm) onwards it becomes a great big outdoor happy hour where office workers gather for a few chopp (local beer) and a chat before heading home.

Arcos da Lapa

• The Carioca Aqueduct, known as Arcos da Lapa, was built in 1726 (?) to bring water to the city of Rio from the Carioca River, which can still be seen in the "Largo do Boticario".


• In the 1980s it was converted into a bridge to carry the streetcar up to Santa Tereza, now known as neighborhood where artists live and work


• It is considered the greatest architectural achievement of Brasil in the colonial period.


• At night it is a hopping area, a great place for people to hang out. There are numerous bars and happenings. There is also the Circo Voador, a venue for shows
