Overview

Enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime experience - see the Rio carnival! Watch as the entire city comes alive and the music, costumes and scenery depict local stories that are set to driving rhythms and colourful backdrops. Rio is a buzzing city to visit at any time of the year, but during carnival, its energy definitely goes up a notch or two! This package includes four nights in a hotel near Copacabana or Ipanema beaches, with entrance to the Sambadrome where you’ll watch the marvellous Winners Parade. With the guidance of a local guide, you will also take part in one of the blocos – the famous street parties so loved by Cariocas. And to ensure you don’t miss any of Rio’s year-round highlights, we’ve included a guided tour to Sugar Loaf and Corcovado to see the iconic statue of Christ.

This Brazil itinerary can be tailored to suit your requirements; please contact one of our consultants to start planning your dream trip.
