Here’s a trip that is on many people’s “must do list”.  It’s the site of one of the world’s greatest and wildest theme parties and home of the Samba parade with thousands of people in colorful dress and elaborate floats. It makes for an incredible experience you will never forget.  Not only the dancing and partying, but the daytime sites and culture are fantastic as well. The Carnival consists of four days, Saturday – Tuesday of special theme balls and then the Sambadrome for 2 days for the competitive parade and the wildest costumes and floats you have ever seen!  They are organized parades for hour upon hour in an outpouring of joy and fun, which truly cannot be matched anywhere in the world. The trip will also include a city tour with unforgettable views of Corcovado (the famous statue of Christ) and other famous places of Rio de Janeiro.  Brazil is also a bargain hunters paradise with terrific arts and crafts. Plus, don’t forget those beautiful beaches.  We got a fantastic price on this trip too, including air (group air is from LAX), 5-nights at the 4-star, Vilamar Hotel in Copacabana. It also includes daily breakfast, transfers, city tour and hotel taxes. This is our fifth annual trip to Rio, and is a well-organized trip in a safe atmosphere making this your best opportunity to finally make it to Rio for Carnival.
