CryptoLar Rio: A Relaxing Walk through Selarón & Lapa
About the Event
"Life is a ball. Throw it to start."
Lonely and sad in the last days in Rio? No more.
We’re taking the colors, music, and rhythm of Lapa and turning it into a builder’s hangout.
CryptoLar arrives in Rio during Meridian week with a simple mission: connect people, not brands. This is not sponsored. There’s no free buffet, no open bar. This is a community hangout in the streets of Rio. Everyone buys their own food and drinks, and everyone brings their own energy.
Flow
Meet at the world-famous Escadaria Selarón for intros and a group photo
Walk together to the Arcos da Lapa, the historic aqueduct and heart of Rio’s nightlife
End on Rua Mem de Sá, anchored at Bar da Cachaça (Rua Mem de Sá, 110, corner by the Arcos da Lapa), for street networking, drinks, and pitches
Pitches 🎤
Every builder, researcher, or creative gets 1 minute to pitch what they’re working on.
No slides, no stage, no microphone, just your voice, your story, and the energy of the street.
