the maze rio + Favela tour
Get to know the most authentic hidden gem: the brazilian Park Güell in Rio de Janeiro!
Located in the safest square meter of Rio de Janeiro, next to the headquarters of BOPE (a type of Brazilian SWAT), the Favela Tavares Bastos is where is located The Maze Rio, the brazilian Park Güell: a house covered with mosaics with an unusual architecture, and venue for live music performances. All this, with a panoramic view of Guanabara Bay and Sugarloaf Mountain in the background.
The Maze Rio is also an institution that supports educational projects to the community of Tavares Bastos, such as ballet, classical music, soccer and English lessons.
Over the years, The Maze, created and maintained by the English artist Bob Nadkarni, has developed into a multifaceted cultural center, offering live jazz concerts (it was elected by Downbeat Magazine, for 7 years in a row, as the best place in the world to hear live jazz), Brazilian music concerts, a permanent art exhibition and unique architecture.
A visit to The Maze Rio is a true Carioca experience, where art, history and culture come together, providing an authentic local synergy of the real Rio de Janeiro.
