Drinks at Canastra Bar

Our favourite local bar around the corner from the school is a must-do for students of Caminhos! We love heading there on Tuesday nights when they have their famous ‘Oyster Night’. Practically guaranteed to see a few celebrities – Seu Jorge is a regular and Queen Latifa was recently spotted there!

Food, drinks, dancing and – of course – Portuguese lessons on all aspects of the Festa Junina celebrations.

Football Match at Maracanã

Join in the excitement and experience real Brazilian football fever when there’s a big match on at the Maracanã stadium: a not-to-miss Rio de Janeiro attraction. All students are encouraged to join in and attend with the Caminhos team. Even if you’re not into football this has got to be one Rio de Janeiro attraction to tick off the bucket list – it’s the most famous football stadium in the world for good reason! Most of the teachers support Flamengo but there are a few Vasco supporters too. If you have the courage try to show up with a Fluminense T-shirt! And then there’s Botafogo…
