Highlights
Come and visit one of the most traditional courts in Rio de Janeiro. Samba is a musical genre considered one of the main manifestations of Carioca and Brazilian culture. This tour offers the opportunity to watch closely the rehearsals of the biggest Samba schools in Rio de Janeiro. In Rio de Janeiro, the samba school party starts long before the carnival. Rehearsals for the parade at the Sambadrome for groups A, B and Especial take place from the middle of the year and the school courts open the doors for revelers of all ages to heat up the tambourines. The court rehearsals bring together young people, the community, tourists and celebrities in crowded parties, where the battery queens and school muses tend to be a fixed presence.

About Rio de Janeiro
Rio de Janeiro sweeps between mountains and ocean, a city of famous beaches, granite peaks, samba rhythms and a carnival known around the world.
Christ the Redeemer stands with open arms atop Corcovado, looking down on the city, and cable cars climb Sugarloaf Mountain for views across Guanabara Bay. Below, the beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema are the stage for daily life, with volleyball, kiosks and the wave-patterned promenade, while Leblon and Arpoador extend the strip.
Top-ranked sights in Rio de Janeiro: Christ the Redeemer Statue (Cristo Redentor), Sugarloaf Mountain (Pao de Açúcar), Selarón Steps (Escadaria Selarón).
