the Carnival of Rio de Janeiro

"K2T Wisata"

Carnival is arriving and the city of Rio de Janeiro starts getting ready to host the greatest party in Brazil. If you would like to see the Sapucaí parades from a box – or “camarote”, as it’s called in Portuguese-, you should take action as soon as possible, as tickets started selling this Wednesday, November 10th,  from RS 18.500 – about 11.000 USD-.

Starting December 2nd, the “frisas” –lower boxes, almost at the same high as the stalls, will start to be sold. The stands –“arquibancadas”- will only start selling the first half of January, and admissions for popular stands will be sold from the second half of February.

To reserve a box –or next month also a “frisa”-, you need to fax your request to the number 2122-8080. All requests will be processed in chronological order, so the earlier the better if you want to book an area in the Parades’ Avenue.

The best time to take a trip to Rio de Janeiro is around carnival, so that you can enjoy the city at its best. If you want a real Carioca experience, arrive to Rio towards the end of carnival days, and stay for a few days after it ends, in order to suck up the atmosphere of the city once those doing tourism in Rio de Janeiro just for the carnival are gone.
