Carnival: There’s really no party like it. If you’re looking to get right down into the colourful thick of things, look no further than this compact six-day trip that includes a tour of Rio and tickets to the Sambadrome. You’ll be seated in Section 11, which will give you a stellar view of all the feathers and sequins on display in the parade, and you won’t need to worry about a thing — local support from G Adventures will take care of the details. So settle in, but don’t get too comfortable — soon you’ll be off your feet and dancing up a storm to Latin rhythm.

Day 4Spend the day exploring on your ownTake part in Rio’s famous Carnival street parties (blocos) together with your CEO. Locations vary daily and your included subway pass gives you access to different celebrations across the city. Take it slow today because the parade lasts all night. This evening between 6-7:30, travel with your CEO via metro to the Sambodrome. You will watch the parade from reserved seating in section 10. After the show, return to your accommodation by metro accompanied by your CEO. Samba schools are associations of people from the same neighbourhood or community (favela) who get together on a regular basis for samba meetings and rehearsals. Samba schools provide valuable jobs to the community in the production of costumes and floats. Each year, schools choose a different theme and may take to the parade from 3,000 to 5,000 members, and 6 to 8 floats. They have to make it through the runway in a period from 60-80 minutes, which means each member will spend only about 25-30 minutes inside the Sambodrome.
