Immerse yourself in a carnival experience!
We start with the hotel pickup to see the backstage of a carnival production. We visit one of the top 10 Samba Schools in Rio. We learn a little bit about carnival and the carnival parade. We see how beautiful the costumes truly are, and we can even try them on. We have a welcome caipirinha, the Brazilian national drink. We also take our chances on a quick samba class that you will never forget! Enjoy this unique experience!

Super fun but also really interesting learning about Rio Carnaval. The pick up made things really easy and the lovely lady who took us shared so much extra information about Rio and buildings on the way there and back it was amazing.
