Rio de Janeiro

The tropical pearl of Brazil

What to know before visiting Rio de Janeiro

Rio de Janeiro is one of the most famous cities in Brazil and the world, famous for its spectacular landscapes, famous beaches and vibrant atmosphere. It is located on the southeastern coast of Brazil, between the Atlantic Ocean and the Serra do Mar mountain range, which gives it a unique combination of sea, hills and tropical vegetation.

The Rio Carnival is a spectacular and energetic festival, considered the largest event of its kind in the world. It takes place annually in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, a few days before the start of Lent, transforming the city into a huge stage of music, dance and color.

At the heart of the event are the grandiose parades of the samba schools, held in the Marques de Sapucai Sambadrome. Each school presents an original theme, through elaborate choreography, dazzling costumes, exciting music and impressive allegorical floats.
In addition to the official parades, the entire city is alive with blocos, open-air street parties where locals and tourists dance together to the rhythms of samba, pagodas and Brazilian folk music. The atmosphere is cheerful, friendly and full of energy.
Rio's Carnival combines European traditions of pre-Lent celebrations with African influences and Brazilian
...culture, resulting in a unique and vibrant event. It is not only a visual and sound spectacle, but also an expression of the free and passionate spirit of Brazil.
