A half-day walk through the neighbourhood that mixes old mansions, studios and the view of downtown below.
The yellow tram climbs the hills of Santa Teresa and leaves visitors at the top of the neighbourhood, where the whole of downtown appears below.
Wear sturdy shoes: the paving is cobblestone and the streets are steep. The full route takes about four hours, with stops.
