Rio Carnival 2025
Rio's Carnival is indescribable and must be experienced at least once in your life. A city suddenly paralyzed, transforming itself, devoting itself entirely to this unique, uncontrollable, unstoppable, magical moment. Neighborhoods shut down to dance, drink and love. Streets blocked off to the sound of drums, whistles and chants.
Samba de Janeiro
Rio's Carnival is the most famous occasion for samba, with spectacular samba parades at the Sambodrome where samba schools compete for the title of champion. Samba schools create special theme songs (sambas enredo) for Carnival, often telling stories linked to cultural, social or historical themes.
