The place has quite a variety of products, but the prices are a little high, the fair that takes place in the afternoons in Copacsbana sells some of the same products and at a lower price. Furthermore, at the time of the visit the center of the square was closed, apparently for repairs, and there was a bad smell. The other thing is that I didn't have a place to rest.

<p>In my opinion this tour is definitely not value for money.</p>
Response from Host, Sept 2020
Thank you very much for your comment! We are sorry that you have not reached your expectations.
The Hippie Fair is held every Sunday at Praça General Osório, a square that takes up an entire city block. The fair has evolved from a small gathering of hippie friends selling their crafts to an open market with artisans highlighting their works. Forget about the hassles of sticking to a budget when shopping at the fair. Chances are you will end up buying much more than you expected and still have a good deal of money left over for a few Caipirinhas.
Take the opportunity to take pictures in the famous Ipanema Beach.
