[Rio de Janeiro Fish Market]
"San Pedro Fish Market" in Niterói, next to Rio de Janeiro
It's a hidden lunch and sightseeing spot that tourists also visit.
Many restaurants in Rio de Janeiro also buy fish from here.

When you come to Rio, be sure to visit Niterói!
[State of Copacabana Beach]
Rio de Janeiro was on a carnival vacation without a parade.
The occupancy rate of the hotel was about half of the average year, there were few tourists, and there was no parade, so the atmosphere was quiet, but the weather was fine and I was able to spend a relaxing time.
[Samba team / Sargueiro practice scene]
Unfortunately, this year's carnival has been canceled, but we usually hold public practice every Saturday about four months before the actual performance to showcase the results of our daily practice.
The funds obtained from the admission fee, food and drink charges in the venue, sales of goods, etc. will be important funds for the team's activities, so you will naturally get into the practice and show the dance and performance just like the actual performance!
If you want to come to the carnival but can't, don't worry, there are places in Rio where you can enjoy the carnival atmosphere outside of the actual time!
* The photo shows the practice scene in February 2020.
