Getting lost in Santa Teresa / by Kylie Fuentes


Santa Teresa is a neighbourhood in Rio which has the most incredible bohemian feel to it. The streets are cobblestone, the houses are semi-rundown gigantic mansions from in a 1500's style portuguese architecture and junk meets art.

I could have spend days meandering around the streets of this town, every corner you turn there is something fascinating to look at. There is a tram line that runs through the heart of the neighbourhood, which still operates on weekends. Restaurants and shops are tiny with loads of character, and the people are genuinely lovely.
