Description
The Carioca way of life is famous worldwide: going to the beach, playing a football match, drinking a beer, watching the sun set at Arpoador and, of course, finishing the day at an amazing 'roda de samba' or forró party.
This is not just a tour; it’s an authentic cultural experience. You’ll feel Brazilian culture through traditional rhythms such as samba and forró, and learn how to dance and enjoy life like a local!
The type of party – samba or forró – depends on the day.
Forró is a dance for two and a great way to connect with people. If you like, we can teach you the basic steps before the party so you can make the most of the experience.
On samba days, you’ll see what a real 'roda de samba' is about. Forget about the samba parties for gringos. You'll be immersed in our culture and experience the real thing.
We’ll start at 7 pm with a forró lesson or samba experience, and then we’ll go to a local party to practice and have fun!
