Trip to Rio De Janiero, Brazil for CARNIVAL
(Co-sponsored by Things To Do)


Description:

Over 100 people attended this trip last year!

THE EXPERIENCE OF A LIFETIME!!! You asked for it and now you’ve got it! Washington's young professionals are on their way to Rio, site of the world’s greatest theme parties, for one of the year's best events - Carnival. The last major event of the Brazilian summer Carnival includes lots of drinking, dancing, singing, costumes, and international crowds. Revel in the streets and in organized parades for hour upon hour in an outpouring of joy and fun at a citywide party that is not matched anywhere in the world.

In addition to partaking in Carnival, you should also spend some time exploring this incredible South American city or relaxing on one of their many beautiful beaches.

Finally, we will offer tickets (at an additional cost) for the Sambadrome for an amazing all night Carnaval Parade! 90,000 spectators, tens of thousands of dancers and a spectacle that will make your jaw drop while your hips sway to the music. The energy and love devoted to this parade has to be seen to be believed. The floats and participants prepare for an entire year for this "madness and excitement".

* Roundtrip air from Washington, DC to Rio de Janeiro

In addition, for an additional price (on site), TTD/BPC will be organizing an amazing HANG GLIDING ADVENTURE.

The 15 - 30 minutes of flight time will take you over the cliffs, roads, homes, sand and ocean.
