The biggest party on earth, with the hard parts handled — three Sambadrome parade nights, Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf by day, and a 4-star base on Copacabana or Ipanema. Fly Thursday night from Dallas-Fort Worth, wake up in Rio on Friday, and spend Carnival week inside it — not watching it from a hotel lobby. Escorted end to end, with a Bus and Plane travel host from the departure gate to the flight home.
