Rio Carnival |

The Rio Carnival is the mother of all parades, an extravaganza that dates back to 1723.
It promises to live up to its legacy in 2011, when the streets of Rio will come alive in a blaze of colour, song and dance.
The Sambadrome, where the display will be, will host all kinds of floats and festivities as rival schools show-off their outfits & bands before awed onlookers.
SAA promises to fly you to Rio porta-bandeira style, and ensure that you don't miss the two major days that define this occasion: namely Carnival Sunday and the Champions Parade. |
