Ride a bonde (tram) throught the streets of Santa Teresa.
If you go sit down it cost 0.60 reais but if you go a bit outside of the bonde and stand up is free......and dangerous so you decide. Nice experience because you will cross the "Arcos de Lapa"

I strongly reccommend you take the bondinho from Santa Teresa to go down instead of going from downtown up to Santa Teresa. You will save hours of queue.
