After soaking it all in, we go backstage at the greatest show on Earth on a behind-the-scenes Carnival tour. Discover the secrets, the preparations, the jet-setter energy behind the scenes.

Selaron Stairs & Copacabana Brunch Goals

You've seen the Selaron Stairs in Snoop Dogg and Pharrell's 'Beautiful' video—now you're standing on them. These colorful mosaic steps are pure art, and your photos will absolutely break the internet. But we're just getting started: brunch at the iconic Copacabana Palace is legendary for a reason. Unlimited bubbles, poolside perfection, and the kind of spread that makes regular brunch feel inadequate. Cap it all off at Sugar Loaf Mountain for sunset cocktails overlooking the entire city. Magic.

Little Africa & Chef Skills Loading

Today we trace the African roots that pulse through Rio's soul. Little Africa (Pequena África) is where our story in Brazil begins—Pedra do Sal, the birthplace of samba; Valongo Wharf, a UNESCO World Heritage site and former slave port; and Instituto Pretos Novos preserving our ancestors' memory. Eduardo Kobra's massive 'Etnias' mural at Praça Mauá celebrates the faces of all continents. Afternoon brings a hands-on Brazilian cooking class where you'll master moqueca, tapioca, and brigadeiro. These skills are coming home.
