About the trip

This small-group tour by G Adventures places you in the midst of Rio de Janeiro's Carnival, one of the world's largest parties. After your arrival and city orientation, notable landmarks such as Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf Mountain punctuate the first couple of days, offering the chance to take in sweeping views and iconic scenes.

Beyond sightseeing, the tour includes a behind-the-scenes look at the Carnival preparations and a visit to the Santa Teresa neighbourhood, known for its colourful Selarón Steps. The heart of the experience comes with tickets to the Sambadrome parade and passes for various street parties. These events are part marathon, part marathon in sequins, where group travel feels less like a holiday and more like a shared, if sweaty, celebration.

Effort is made to balance the raucous festivities with some downtime along Rio's famous Copacabana Beach. Throughout, Chief Experience Officers provide guidance, practical help, and suggestions. It’s not a quiet holiday, but then turning down a samba rhythm wouldn’t be the point.
