215-step staircase, a tribute to the Brazilian people, decorated with azulejos by Chilean painter Jorge Selarón

In 1990, the late Chilean painter Jorge Selarón embarked on the Grande Loucura (Great Madness): decorating the stairs of an entire street between Santa Teresa and Lapa, in homage to the Brazilian people. Fascinated by azulejos, he covered the 215 steps of this staircase with them. The tiles come from all over the world, sent by visitors who have fallen under the spell of this work, or gleaned by the artist himself. An ideal end to a visit to Santa Teresa, it will take you to the rua Joaquim Silva, in Lapa.

ÉTONNANT ESCALIER
C'est unique un escalier tout en couleur fabriqué avec des mosaïques. On remarque le peintre DALI. Pour accéder à cet escalier on emprunte une ruelle où de belles peintures murales nous enchantent

Y aller tôt le matin !
Endroit mythique de Rio, un incontournable mais il faut y aller très tôt car sinon il a beaucoup de monde et cela ne permet pas de prendre des photos correctement.

Permettant de rejoindre les quartiers Lapa et Santa Teresa, la descente de l’escalier Selaron du nom de l’artiste chilien qui décora les escaliers avec des mosaïques multicolores est typique et pourtant originale. Beaucoup de touristes donc pas de sentiment d'insécurité. Il faut scruter toutes les mosaiques. Un très bon moment ! Quel travail !
