Our samba is a rhythm known throughout the world. And in Rio de Janeiro—specifically in the Oswaldo Cruz neighborhood—it’s the heart of the tourist routes for those who want to learn about the history of samba in the city.
Passing through squares, samba circles, and samba school practice grounds, the area is alive with culture and memories. This suburb of Rio de Janeiro is the hub of preparations for the Marquês de Sapucaí Carnival, one of the world’s largest festivals, which attracts thousands of foreign tourists.
