Truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Simone took us to an amazing bloco in her own neighborhood of Santa Teresa and showed us the authentic street carnival. We drank, sang, and danced our way through the streets with all of the locals dressed up in costumes. Just a note - this experience was a lot of fun, but you will be hot, in a huge crowd, and around a lot of people drinking and dancing. This is exactly what we had hoped for! We felt totally safe and in good hands with Simone the entire time. AMAZING
