Hosted by Travel Black
Find your rhythm. Find your people.
The city. The samba. The people you’ll still be talking to long after the music fades. We’re bringing Travel Black to Rio for a shared Carnival experience rooted in Afro-Brazilian culture, local connection, and a little room for the unexpected.

A Travel Black experience
More than a moment.
Come for the celebration
For the solo traveler looking for community, the friends making a long-awaited trip happen, and anyone who wants to experience Rio with curiosity and care. Come for Carnival. Leave with connections.
Organized by Travel Black, with local collaborators at the heart of the experience. We’re shaping the program now; individual hosts and partners will be introduced once confirmed.
The experience, taking shape
Choose the moments that speak to you. Proposed activities may change; confirmed arrangements will be clearly marked. All times are local to Rio de Janeiro.
A first evening together over food, introductions, and the kind of conversation that turns strangers into your Carnival crew.
Explore the city’s Afro-Brazilian history with a local cultural guide. A slower moment to connect the celebration with the stories behind it.
Find the rhythm together. An evening shaped around live samba, local musicians, and the joy of being right where you’re supposed to be.
Meet your Travel Black crew before heading into the energy of a public bloco. The chosen bloco and meeting point will follow the official schedule.
An optional shared parade-night experience. We’re exploring access and group arrangements; no tickets, sector, or parade night are promised yet.
A gentle farewell gathering to trade favorite memories, exchange contacts, and make plans for wherever we meet next.

A little more clarity

February 5–10 is Travel Black’s proposed travel window. Our activities, venues, and hosts are still being developed. Each activity will be marked confirmed when arrangements are in place. Please wait for confirmed details before booking travel around this program.
Tell us which activities interest you. We’re exploring both a shared program and individual gatherings for people who are already planning to be in Rio. Separate availability will be announced with registration.
Absolutely. Meeting people is part of the idea. You can tell us whether you’re traveling solo or bringing a group after joining the interest list.
We’ll publish venue access, walking distances, transport arrangements, and activity requirements as the program is confirmed, so you can decide what works for you. Participation in every activity will not be assumed.
Accommodation is not currently included. You can register interest in accommodation support so we understand demand before deciding what to offer.
