Carnival Experience – 7, 8 and 9 February

Rio Carnival is not limited to the samba school parade. It is a city-wide celebration filled with street parties, balls, rehearsals and cultural events.

You will have the opportunity to dress up and fully immerse yourself in the festivities. HLMundo offers you a unique experience: to participate in a parade with a Special Group samba school.

The specific parade date and school will be confirmed once officially released by the City of Rio de Janeiro. Your costume will be custom-made to your measurements and must be returned after the parade, as materials are recycled.

Transfers and professional makeup for the parade are included. During Carnival, your guide will provide full support and information but will not accompany you to all events. The HLMundo team will accompany you during the official parade.
