Rio de Janeiro Carnival: March With a Samba School

Immerse yourself in the vibrant world of the Rio de Janeiro Carnival with this exceptional opportunity. You will join an authentic samba school for a memorable parade experience at the iconic Sambadrome, adorned in a bespoke costume crafted just for you.

Details of the Activity

At the designated time, our team will collect you from your hotel in Rio de Janeiro and escort you to the famed Sambadrome where this unique adventure awaits.

Upon arrival, you’ll be outfitted in your “fantasia,” the term used for samba school costumes—each requiring up to a year to create. Just envision the intricate craftsmanship that goes into these outfits!

Next, you’ll join fellow samba school participants in the staging area, where you’ll be placed in the respective section that matches your ensemble. This is the moment when the invigorating feelings of excitement and honor of embodying this Brazilian cultural heritage will envelop you.

With everything in place, it’s time for the highlight of the evening! You will parade through the historic Sambadrome, captivated by the vibrant beats of the drums, enveloped in a spectacle of color, lights, and joyous faces. The audience will roar with enthusiasm from the stands, the rhythmic drumming will resonate around you, and the samba spirit will enliven your soul. This exhilarating experience is one you can only truly grasp by taking part.

Following the parade, we will return you to your hotel, completing a thrilling 5-hour experience that allows you to live the Carnival as an authentic sambista!
