SANTA TERESA RIO DE JAENEIRO BRAZIL:
Santa Teresa is a central area district and neighbourhood of the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Santa Teresa is located on a hill, in which time seems to stand still, preserving intact a number of dimensions of the city of Rio de Janeiro, and telling a story around every corner.
Santa Teresa was founded in the 18th century and was a former stronghold of the aristocracy of Rio de Janeiro. This explains the architecture and culture of this picturesque area.
SANTA TERESA - ART - BOHEME - RIO DE JANEIRO:
Writers and artists have always been attracted to the neighborhood of Santa Teresa, ("The hanging garden on the city of Rio de Janeiro"), seduced by its charm. For some time already several ateliers have taken over the neighborhood of Santa Teresa, Rio de Janeiro.
This cultural clutter, and a consistent investment process are producing a great revitalization of the area, turning the neighborhood of Santa Teresa, Rio de Janeiro, the "Montmartre Carioca".
BONDINHO, SANTA TERESA TRAMWAY, RIO DE JANEIRO:
The narrow winding streets through which the Santa Teresa yellow tramway, "Bondinho Santa Teresa, Rio de Janeiro", passess, (the only tramway that still operate in the city), are just one more of the many attractions of this district of Rio de Janeiro.
The Bondinho (tram) from Santa Teresa, Rio de Janeiro, starts downtown of of the city of Rio de Janeiro, passing over the Arcos da Lapa and continues uphill along the slopes of the Santa Teresa neighborhood.
