Backstage Tour of Rio Carnival

At the designated time, we will gather at the Carnival Experience located in the Praça da Cidade do Samba in Rio de Janeiro. Curious about how this grand fiesta is organized? Let’s delve into it!

This journey takes us to the backstage of Rio de Janeiro’s carnival, specifically in the restricted areas that are typically off-limits to the public. Here, we will witness the creation of stunning costumes designed for the parades. Additionally, we will have the chance to appreciate the intricate designs of the floats that grace the Sambadrome at Marquês de Sapucaí.

As our tour progresses, we’ll proceed to the exhibition hall where we’ll discover the rich history of samba and the Carioca carnival, a tradition that spans over a century. Within this unique venue, you’ll experience the spirit of unity and passion that encapsulates the Carnival. It’s truly a celebration that transcends mere festivity and embodies a lifestyle.

The adventure continues with a visit to one of the dressing rooms backstage, where you will get the chance to try on some authentic carnival costumes from Rio. To enhance your experience, a professional dancer will provide a brief samba lesson—let’s hit the dance floor!

To conclude this unforgettable journey, we will savor a refreshing caipirinha, wrapping up our hour-and-a-half exploration of the vibrant realms that make up the carnival.
