The Rio de Janeiro Carnival is undoubtedly famous throughout the world, but not everyone really knows the history of what is considered the greatest show on the planet.
The history of the carnival is really interesting and is still alive today because it mixes with the history of Brazil and the city of Rio, with the phenomenon of slavery, with the culture, religion, music and folklore of African origin.
In this tour of approximately 7 hours we want to tell you a little about all this and to do so we will start from an area of the city centre known as “Little Africa” where the history, culture and art of those who have unfortunately had to suffer the tragedy of slavery gave life to the wonderful spectacle of the Carioca carnival. We will then visit the Samba Museum (it will be a real experience!) and then we will go to know the place where the allegorical floats and costumes of the Rio Carnival are made. There will be no shortage of surprises on this unforgettable day!
