Since carnival season in Brazil falls during the summer, parades are held at night so that the temperature is more comfortable. Since our cruise ship was docked in Rio during one of the final nights of the Carnival competition, we decided that we couldn't miss it. Our original intention was to only stay for a couple of hours, but we couldn't pull ourselves away. We didn't quite make it to the end - we missed the last "school" which ended up being the overall winner!
During our three days in Rio, we also saw some of the famous sites including Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf Mountain, Ipanema Beach and Copacabana Beach. As a bonus, we got to attend a street party on the morning after the parade.
When was the last time you stayed up all night (by choice)?
