Itinerary
Experience the Rio Carnival on this 6-day tour, beginning in the vibrant heart of Lapa with street blocos, caipirinhas, and samba dancing. Wander iconic beaches like Ipanema and Copacabana, enjoy a Guanabara Bay cruise, and witness the electrifying Sambadrome Parade. Face painting, costumes, and unforgettable parties fill the days and nights, bringing the spirit of Rio alive in a grand finale of music and celebration.
day 1Welcome to Rio de Janeiro!
On arrival at the airport, make your way to the accommodation check-in is from 3 PM in Lapa, Rio’s vibrant bohemian quarter, where many of Carnival’s main events and bloco parties unfold. This area brims with samba clubs, theatres, capoeira, antique shops in historic buildings, and quirky bars—plenty to explore.
At 6 pm, we gather with our group to review the event schedule. After that, we kick things off with our first caipirinha, join a samba class to sharpen our moves, and let our professional make-up artist get us Carnival-ready. Then it’s time to hit the streets of Lapa together, where our Tour Leader will lead us to the heart of the city’s legendary nightlife. Remember to bring a fancy-dress costume—Carnival is all about bold, playful outfits, and while you can buy extras locally, it’s wise to pack a few essentials.
Please note: the itinerary may change due to unexpected factors such as weather, Carnival schedule changes, traffic, local operator adjustments, and other circumstances beyond our control.
