Because of the 14-hour delay, we didn't arrive in Rio until 8 p.m. instead of the scheduled 5 a.m. And that's the day of the carnival, for which we already had tickets! An interesting feature: tickets are purchased online, but you can only pick them up in person at the office with your passport and the card with which they were purchased (or order delivery by mail within Rio, which is more relevant to locals). The office is only open until 10 pm, and they miraculously let us in 5 minutes after closing time, after hearing our excuses about the delayed flight and seeing the suitcases with the airline tags.

Our adventure didn't end there: our tickets had already been given away. We were given others, and we were excited to get to the main Brazilian carnival! The carnival is bright and colorful, with incendiary music (which, however, is repeated constantly). We danced until morning, even though we hadn't slept for over a day by then. It's interesting to go to a carnival at least once in your life to enjoy this atmosphere of general fun and madness.
