What is the difference between Access Group, Special Group and Champions Parade?
Every year, the Samba Schools compete for the title of Champion of the Rio de Janeiro Carnival. More than 90,000 people perform during the Carnival. Each School has between 4,000 and 5,000 participants. The Parade lasts 6 days and is divided into three categories:
Access Group, Special Group and Champions Parade.

Tickets for these two days are significantly cheaper. Although the schools work with a smaller budget, the excitement and beauty are the same.
