Join the Party with Carnival Preparation in Rio

  Brazil
  • Rio de Janeiro: 
  • Rio de Janeiro

Durations of Program: 5-8 weeks and 9-12 weeks
Typical Duration of Program: 5-8 weeks

Description: Do you like to party?

The Rio carnival is where the world lets its hair down and now you're all invited. It's hard to imagine such a frenzy of singing and dancing, which is a great reason to go and see it for yourself! Samba and sway your way through the streets and get a view of the carnival that travellers almost never get: from the middle of it! Over the years the Samba schools have become a crucial (and colourful) part of the carnival and the dance is a great way through which to learn more about the city and its people. Activities range from designing costumes and floats to helping build the stage, with plenty of time left over to explore one of the world's most exciting cities at its vibrant best.
