Route

1. At the selected time, your guide will meet you at your hotel and drive to the Carnival Experience in downtown of Rio. Do you know how its most popular celebration is planned? We'll find out. We'll visit the backstage of the Rio de Janeiro carnival, that is, the areas behind the scenes that the public does isn't normally allowed to visit. In these rooms, we'll see how the elaborate costumes displayed in the parades are fashioned. We'll also admire the details of the floats that parade through the Marquês de Sapucaí sambadrome.

   45 min

2. Participants will get in touch with different Afro-Brazilian rhythms such as Ijexá, Coco, Jongo, Samba-de-roda and learn samba steps with professional dancers. They will also learn a little about playing a typical carnival percussion instrument, in a class offered by teenagers and children of the Samba School of Grande Rio.

3. Next, we'll move on to the exhibition hall to learn about the history of samba and the Carioca carnival, which has been celebrated for over a century. During the visit to this special venue, we'll feel the atmosphere of unity and emotion that is felt during Carnival. It's not surprising that this event is not considered a mere party, but a way of life. The visit will continue to one of the backstage dressing rooms, where you'll have the opportunity to try on some of Rio's carnival costumes. To round off this experience, a professional dancer will give you a short samba lesson - everybody to the dance floor! Lastly, we'll enjoy a delicious caipirinha and, after an hour and a half of touring the backstage areas, we'll end this incredible visit.

About Rio de Janeiro

Rio de Janeiro ligt tussen bergen en oceaan, een stad van beroemde stranden, granieten pieken, sambaritmes en een wereldberoemd carnaval.

Christus de Verlosser staat met open armen boven op de Corcovado en kijkt neer op de stad, en kabelbanen klimmen naar de Suikerbroodberg voor uitzicht over de Guanabarabaai. Beneden zijn de stranden van Copacabana en Ipanema het toneel van het dagelijks leven, met volleybal, kiosken en de promenade met golfpatroon, terwijl Leblon en Arpoador de strook verlengen.

Top-ranked sights in Rio de Janeiro: Christ the Redeemer Statue (Cristo Redentor), Sugarloaf Mountain (Pao de Açúcar), Selarón Steps (Escadaria Selarón).
