If however you would like seats in a different sector or a box we can arrange this too. 

Day 4 Rio Carnival.Tonight we recommend an optional return to the Sambadrome for a once in a lifetime experience and the chance to take part in the Sambadrome parade itself. We cannot recommend this experience enough as it will be something you talk about for years to come. We will arrange your costume and bring you to the Sambadrome where you will meet your samba school and be taught what to do. No specific samba skills are required to take part in the parade just a big smile and a lot of energy to keep dancing for up to an hour down the Sambadrome runway. At the end of the parade you get to keep your costume having just experienced one of the best things you have ever done in your life

Day 5 Rio Carnival.This afternoon you will be met by your private guide and taken on a trip to Sugar Loaf mountain with entrances included. From the top of the mountain are wonderful views of the southern beaches and the bay. It’s a spectacular sight to watch as the sunsets and the lights come on all over the city.
