Description
Let us sing and dance the authentic samba music and sip a delicious caipirinha in guided tour in Pedra do Sal. On a Monday night, we take you to the Saúde neighborhood where the Pedra do Sal is located. Along the way, our tour guide tells you the historical trivia about Pedra do Sal, known as "Little Africa", because of the African enslaved who settled in the district in the 19th century. You get to see and dance in a “roda de samba” which is a gathering of musicians that play samba music on the street. The roda de samba of Pedra da Sal on Monday night has become a famous local tradition. Our tour guide provides you a welcome drink, or should we say, a welcome caipirinha, our national drink. Enjoy the samba knowing that you have a tour guide to safely escort you through the night. Roundtrip transfer, 01 complimentary caipirinha and tour guide included.

Great music, such a fun night!
Tremendous fun! Go! I loved the vibe and the atmosphere... A local parting crowd for sure in the historic area that honors all things African. The caipirhina with all sorts of local fruit were fascinating...and strong. The music was like a jam session surrounded by a lively crowd. (Too crowded to dance.) We felt good that we were with a local looking after us.
