* The VIP Party Service in Salvador is seperated into 2 types of parties. "Camarote" parties, re located next to the parade route. Camarotes are huge parties with different dance floors, food courts, bars, and hundreds beautiful Brazilian singles. "Blocos" are street parties inside the parade. You actually participate, most will find it crazier and more fun!
The quality of the blocos and camarotes in salvador is important to ensure you have the best time of your life! There are many carnival circuites and some are unsafe. Addtionally English is not spoken in Salvador so it is very important to have company guides/security (which this tour provides).
We offer packages with additional bloco and camarote tickets for the other 2 nights or assist you obtaining them after your first carnival experience in Salvador.

Carnival in Bahia is the best in Brazil. Millions of people hit the streets to celebrate the biggest party in the world. According to the Guinness Book of World Records, this is the biggest street party in the world. Everyone who's ever gone to Salvador for Carnival has stories of partying, meeting people and leaving the party just to return to the party later for another round and it goes on all night long for 5 days. So, prepare yourself to get some rest during the day so you can be in the streets all night long. Unlike Carnival in Rio, where most of the festivities are in bleachers and balls throughout the city, you get to actually participate in the Carnival in Salvador. If you like humongous street parties, Salvador, Bahia is the place you want to be. It's a crowd participation party as parades of live bands on big tall floats with powerful sound systems roll through the city and endless crowds of partiers follow along dancing and drinking until the point of passing out. Parties are included in your package!

The predominant music is Axe whose songs are always accompanied with dance moves that all the locals have learned and can't wait to show off for Carnival.
