Badboy81 Posted July 24, 2018 Posted July 24, 2018 For those of you who have never been to Samba school practices or parties....you are missing out... Samba schools and events centered around samba have some of the sexiest local dudes in Rio... You get some incredible culture, can try some local food and learn hang out with locals... People are very friendly and welcoming, you will have an incredible time and may meet a non pay guy(I have some great pictures of local guys from the samba schools)..especially if you speak some Portuguese.... And its definitely something different...and worth trying... *One of the most popular samba schools is Mangueira **I definitely suggest either going with a local or using uber https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estação_Primeira_de_Mangueira Samba Queen Contest....another event worth checking out http://sambafogo.com/samba-queen/ https://www.tripadvisor.com/Travel-g303506-c97548/Rio-De-Janeiro:Brazil:Samba.Schools.html TotallyOz, Tomasian, Latbear4blk and 1 other 4 Quote
