Itinerary
Day 1
Meet your guide on Rua Siqueira Campos and walk a short, relaxed route through Copacabana visiting 3–4 traditional botequins. The tour includes one food and one drink per person at each bar and finishes where it began or nearby.
Botequim #1
Meeting point and start of the walking botequim crawl in Copacabana. Over the next 3–4 stops you will sample local drinks (cachaça, caipirinha, local beers) and traditional snacks (coxinha, pastel, bolinhos de bacalhau, feijoada-style bites). The tour is led by an accredited bilingual guide. Expect short walks (flat, city sidewalks) between bars with time to stand or sit and socialize at each stop.
Tips from local experts:
- Bring a government ID (required for alcohol service in Brazil) and a small reusable tote for any food you may want to keep.
- Wear comfortable shoes for walking on city sidewalks; distances between bars are short but surfaces can be uneven.
- If you prefer non-alcoholic options, tell the guide at the start so each stop can provide an alternative drink.
