Day 3Free day in Rio to explore the city
Free day in Rio to explore the city or take optional excursions or a favela tour. Many visitors head to the famous Copacabana beach, although the combined beaches of Ipanema and Leblon can be less crowded and are equally well garnished with vendors selling food, jewelery, sarongs, and anything else you might want. Opt to enjoy some of the Carnival street parties in the evening.
Day 4Free day to relax and prepare for the Carnival parade tonightTake it slow today because the parade literally lasts all night. This evening between 6-7:30, we transfer to the Sambodrome where we have reserved seats in section 10. G Adventures representatives will accompany you throughout the evening and after the parade you'll transfer back to your hotel. Samba Schools are an association of people from the same neighbourhood or community (favela) who get together on a regular basis for samba meetings and rehearsals. Samba Schools provide valuable jobs to the community in the production of costumes and floats. Each year, schools choose a different theme and may take to the parade from 3,000 to 5,000 members, and 6 to 8 floats. They have to make it through the runway in a period from 60-80 minutes, which means each member will spend only about 25-30 minutes inside the Sambodrome.
