Viva Expeditions offer a fantastic Carnival Package Tour of Rio that guarantees Sambadrome tickets, as well as all your accommodation and excursions to explore the city’s most impressive sights. This is a 6-day fiesta in Rio de Janeiro during Carnival time and the absolute travel experience of your life. For this and more information on travelling to Rio and further afield in Brazil, even including a 3-day visit to Iguazu Falls or a spellbinding 5-day river cruise in the Amazon, all you need to do is contact Viva Expeditions.

Brazil’s world-famous fiesta to end all fiestas is a cacophony of sights and sounds, with the normally exciting metropolis gripped by an even crazier hysteria of hypnotic music, astonishing dancing and colourful celebrations for an entire week. Visiting Rio during Carnival time is a once-in-a-lifetime experience everyone should have on their bucket-list.

The city’s famous festival was moved out of the streets and into the brand new Sambadrome in the mid-1980s, with the most popular events – the finals – being well-organized and ticketed events. Scoring these tickets is what foreign tourists covet most and, luckily, the sheer number and price-range of tickets mean everyone can attend, as long as tickets are purchased way ahead of time, and your Viva Expeditions Carnival Package guarantees tickets.

VivaExpeditions, for example, purchases blocks of tickets for all their tours heading to Rio during Carnival week, knowing full well that capacity will be at its highest. If they still have a spot on a tour, it’s highly likely they will have a Sambadrome Carnival ticket available for you, and the same can be said for accommodation. Rio is full to the brim during this, the busiest period of the year, so you need to let them know as soon as you’re ready to commit and they will ensure your flights, accommodation, Sambadrome tickets and onward travel is all organized.

Aside from the Carnival shenanigans, you’ll have the city’s best highlights to discover, including the glorious Christ the Redeemer statue, the cable-car up to Sugarloaf Mountain, the glorious beaches to enjoy in Copacabana and Ipanema and all the shopping and dining you can fit in-between. Plus, Rio is a fantastic base for exploring the best sights in Brazil, so consider including side-trips to startling Iguazu Falls or the islands off the southern coast of Brazil as well.
