About this trip

Pre-Carnaval: Rio is warming up… and you’re right in it. Bem vindo ao Brasil 🇧🇷

✨ What this trip is about

You’ve always wanted to experience Carnaval in Brazil… but not alone. This is your moment.

During this trip, you’ll arrive right as Rio is building up to Carnaval. The city turns into one big celebration — music on every corner, lots of parties and carnaval preparations.

We’ll dive into this energy together.

Think: sunny beach days, spontaneous dance moments, local experiences, and yes… your first real bloco parties (street Carnaval). Not the overwhelming peak chaos yet — but the perfect introduction to the magic of Carnaval.

All of it, without the stress of figuring it out yourself.

You just show up. We take you in.

👯‍♀️ Who this trip is for

This trip is for you if:

•⁠ ⁠You want to experience Brasil, but not by yourself

•⁠ ⁠You’re curious about Carnaval and want to feel the vibe without going full chaos mode

•⁠ ⁠You love a mix of culture, adventures, beach and a bit of partying

•⁠ ⁠You want to meet like-minded women and actually connect

•⁠ ⁠You prefer a safe, guided experience over figuring everything out alone

🌴 What you’ll experience

•⁠ ⁠Beach days in Rio’s most iconic spots

•⁠ ⁠A mix of hidden gems + must-see highlights

•⁠ Experiencing the city from above and below

•⁠ ⁠Your first bloco experience (street Carnaval parties)

•⁠ ⁠Local food spots and sunset moments

•⁠ ⁠A taste of samba, movement and Brazilian culture

•⁠ ⁠A curated group experience that feels effortless

💛 Why this is different

No endless Googling.

No “is this safe?” stress.

No doing it alone.

You’ll explore Rio with someone who knows the city, speaks the language, and has built a local network — so you get the real experience, not just the tourist version.

And the best part? You won’t leave alone.

⚠️ Good to know

•⁠ ⁠This trip includes Carnaval experiences (blocos), but is not during peak Carnaval days

•⁠ ⁠Expect a social, active and experience-focused week

•⁠ ⁠Intermediate English is required to connect with the group

•⁠ ⁠Come with an open mindset — this trip is about stepping slightly outside your comfort zone

👀 TIP: if you want to stay to experience the official carnaval days.. This trip ends just before, which provides you the opportunity to extend your stay whilst already been introduced to life in Rio 🎶
