Experience the extraordinary Rio Carnival Winners Parade
Imagine: a bustling city filled with colorful parades, mesmerizing rhythms, and passionate dances. That's Rio de Janeiro, the vibrant metropolis on the Brazilian coast. Nestled between majestic mountains and expansive beaches, this city exudes an atmosphere of joy and vitality. Rio is renowned for its world-famous carnival, a spectacle of costumes, floats, and pulsating samba music. But the celebration doesn't end after carnival; on the contrary, it reaches its peak during the Winners Parade, where the top samba schools once again shine in the legendary Sambadrome.
This city break offers a unique opportunity to experience this magical event up close, along with the enchanting sights of Rio and the captivating coastal town of Buzios. Get ready for a once-in-a-lifetime experience full of triumph and festivities in the vibrant Rio de Janeiro.
Highlights of this tour
Once-in-a-Lifetime Experience
Nowhere on earth is carnival as grand as in Rio: 2 million people on the streets every day, thousands of dancers in dazzling costumes, and an energy that sweeps you away. This isn’t just a carnival. This is Rio. A once-in-a-lifetime explosion of rhythm, colour and pure euphoria.
Champions' Parade: the Best of Carnival
The top 6 samba schools light up the Sambadrome one last time—no pressure, just pure show. Rio is calmer, hotels and tickets are cheaper, and the city’s gems are easier to explore. A golden chance to feel the magic of Carnival, minus the crowds.
Iconic Sights & Hidden Gems
From Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf Mountain to Santa Teresa’s colourful steps. From the magic of the Champions’ Parade to the laid-back charm of Búzios. This is Brazil at its best; fully guided from arrival to farewell.
