While in Rio

IN RIO DURING CARNIVAL

Do as the locals do: have fun, take nothing of value with you, credit cards, cash, and passports; be prepared for crowds. The ultimate experience of Carnival depends on you!

HOW TO DRESS FOR CARNIVAL

People during the Rio Carnival wear whatever they prefer. There are no rules not even standards on what to wear for the Samba Parades. People wear whatever they prefer!

SERVICE IN RIO DURING CARNIVAL

Because Carnival is Rio’s biggest party and the Carioca’s (natives of Rio) do party! Guests can expect somewhat curtailed service despite the best and most sincere efforts of the hotels’ staff and management. Most hotels in Rio have a Carnival minimum stay requirement of up to six nights and the rates are inflated to reflect the great demand. A few hotels may include special perks in their package rates.
