Street samba, coastal resets and Rio icons: an epic Carnival journey.

Rio comes alive for Carnival. Start with São Paulo street art and vibrant bloco parties, then chase the sun to Paraty and soak in its coastal charm. The grand finale? Rio de Janeiro, where you'll witness Christ the Redeemer and feel the main stage energy at the iconic Sambadrome parade. This is Brazil's Carnival, from street-level soul to full icon mode.
