Your first stop is the legendary Maracanã Stadium, the temple of Brazilian football. Explore the museum, marvel at the collection of memorabilia, and step into the dressing room adorned with Brazilian club shirts. Feel the history and passion that permeate this iconic venue.
Next, head to the Sambadrome, the heart of Rio's world-famous Carnival. Learn about the significance of this grand parade from your knowledgeable guide, and imagine the vibrant costumes and infectious rhythms that fill the air during the festivities.
