At night Rio takes on a whole new feel. There are still places to chill, places to meet, places to be with festival friends but its also where you can party be entertained and enjoy that Rio vibe.
Rio has many districts all with their own identity and history. Our Festival reflects this taking its inspiration from the city's quarters to give our participants and leaders an eclectic mix of culture, faiths, discovery, food, history, entertainment and activities.
