If You Only Go to One Place
Pedra do Sal
Because this is Rio’s most authentic and electric Sunday rodas de samba. The historic birthplace of samba, this open-air street party in the heart of Little Africa peaks tonight with a free, community-driven roda that starts early enough for a Sunday but spills late into the warm night. It’s the ultimate Carioca cultural immersion with a mixed crowd of locals, musicians and in-the-know visitors, dancing under the twinkling lights of Morro da Conceição.
