Experience the essence of Rio at Pedra do Sal, a place where history, music, and joy come together in an unforgettable experience. It's considered the birthplace of samba and is steeped in Afro-Brazilian culture.

We'll stroll through its streets, learn a bit about its history, and visit places like the Valongo Wharf, a historic site declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, as it was the main port of entry for enslaved Africans in Latin America.

Today, Pedra do Sal comes to life every week with incredible outdoor parties. Amid laughter, caipirinhas, and live samba, locals and tourists dance together like one big family. We'll throw in some shots to make it even more fun.

If you're shy and not very outgoing, don't worry. The energy we create is truly enviable. The dancers and musicians will have you dancing like an expert. We'll have raffles for drinks and souvenirs, and you can have shots as we walk to our destinations. If you don't drink alcohol, you're also welcome. Come and meet some great people.

The meeting point is at Pedra do Sal (Largo de São Francisco da Prainha).

Very important:
Depending on the time of day, our schedule may vary slightly.
On Fridays and Saturdays, there are fewer people at Pedra do Sal, but it's still a lot of fun. The biggest and most famous party takes place on Mondays.
At 11:30 p.m. every Monday, we head to a nearby club to keep the party going. The samba circle ends at midnight, and then there's plenty of music and people to keep the fun going.
You can arrive after the activity has started. No problem—you'll enjoy it just the same.

If you have any questions, please ask us, and always remember that your well-being, safety, and happiness are our top priority. We're going to walk, so please wear comfortable shoes and casual clothes, or whatever you think is most appropriate for parties and photos.
