Last month, I spent a few days in Rio de Janeiro during a congress, as I mentioned here before, and I fulfilled an old dream of visiting the Selarón Staircase, the famous staircase with super colorful tile mosaics!
Taking advantage of my time in the city, I squeezed in a visit between commitments to see this famous work of art up close. The walk along the small street leading up to the staircase—Rua Manuel Carneiro—is a true spectacle: the walls are filled with art depicting references to Rio and Brazil, transforming the path into an open-air gallery.




When I arrived at the staircase, it was very crowded, as I visited around lunchtime, at about 2 PM if I remember correctly. Many tourists were present, forming a long line to take photos at the iconic part of the stairs that display the name "Escadaria Selarón."


The history of the staircase is as fascinating as the staircase itself. It was conceived and built by Chilean artist Jorge Selarón, who began decorating it in 1990 as a tribute to the Brazilian people. Selarón used tiles from various parts of the world, creating a very colorful and vibrant mosaic. The work started as a hobby but turned into an obsession. Over several years, he continued to add tiles, which were donated by visitors and brought from different countries, resulting in this marvelous piece of art and becoming a tourist and artistic landmark.


Unfortunately, due to my limited time, I couldn't take a photo exactly at that point, but I did manage to get one a bit further up. At least I have a memory until I return another time and perhaps get the classic photo.

The visit was wonderful, and the staircase is truly stunning. For those in Rio, I highly recommend visiting this place. I've heard that early in the morning, the staircase is less crowded, making it easier to get that coveted iconic photo.
The Selarón Staircase is located in the Santa Teresa neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and connects Rua Joaquim Silva in Lapa to Rua Pinto Martins.

No último mês, passei alguns dias no Rio de Janeiro durante um congresso, como eu já disse aqui antes e realizei um sonho antigo de conhecer a Escadaria Selarón, a famosa escadaria com mosaico de azulejos super coloridos!
Aproveitei que estava na cidade e, entre um compromisso e outro, dei um pulo lá para conferir de perto essa famosa obra de arte. A caminhada pela ruazinha que antecede a escadaria - Rua Manuel Carneiro - é um verdadeiro espetáculo: os muros são repletos de artes pintadas com referências ao Rio e ao Brasil, transformando o caminho em uma galeria a céu aberto.




Chegando na escadaria, estava bem cheio, pois fui no horário de almoço, por volta das 14h, se não me engano. Muitos turistas estavam presentes, formando uma longa fila para tirar foto na icônica parte da escada que exibe o nome "Escadaria Selarón".


A história da escadaria é tão fascinante quando a escadaria em si. Ela foi idealizada e construída pelo artista chileno Jorge Selarón, que começou a decorá-la em 1990 como uma homenagem ao povo brasileiro. Selarón usou azulejos de diversas partes do mundo, criando um mosaico coloridíssimo e muito vibrante. O trabalho começou como um hobby, mas acabou virando uma obsessão. Ao longo de vários anos, ele continuou a adicionar azulejos, que foram doados por visitantes e trazidos de diferentes países, resultando nessa maravilha de arte e se transformando em um marco turístico e artístico.


Infelizmente, devido ao meu tempo curto, não consegui tirar a foto exatamente nesse ponto, mas consegui uma um pouco mais acima. Pelo menos, tenho uma recordação até retornar lá um outra vez e, quem sabe, conseguir a clássica foto.

A visita foi maravilhosa e a escadaria é realmente deslumbrante. Para quem estiver no Rio, recomendo muito conhecer esse local. Ouvi dizer que, logo no início da manhã, a escadaria fica mais vazia, facilitando a conquista da tão desejada foto icônica.
A Escadaria Selarón fica no bairro de Santa Teresa, no Rio de Janeiro/Brasil, e liga a Rua Joaquim Silva, na Lapa, à Rua Pinto Martins.
