We learnt a lot about the history of samba. In particular, we saw the construction of some floats to be used by one Samba School in 2025. At this section, we could not take any pictures. There were sections we were allowed to take pictures and even try old carnival costumes.
They brought professional samba dancers to show us a few moves, which was fun. After that, we went to a small gift shop where some drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) awaited us.
It was a fun experience but I felt rushed through it all. Maybe, due to the time of year? Also, I would have loved to have seen the musicians practice the samba live!
