Sambódromo (Passarela Professor Darcy Ribeiro)

The name already has a label of Brazilian politics and education: Passarela Professor Darcy Ribeiro. The popular version is Sambódromo, where it pulses the heart of the Carnaval carioca. Located in the Center of Rio, Sapucaí was inaugurated in 1984, designed by Oscar Niemeyer, sacred space of the largest party on the planet, a monumental stage that hosts the parades of samba schools of the Special Group and Gold series, attracting thousands of spectators from all over the world. With impressive architecture and capacity for more than 70 thousand people, the Sambódromo is a cultural symbol and a celebration of the creativity and spirit of the Brazilian people. During Momo's reign, the stands are filled with colors, rhythms and energy, transforming the city into a sea of joy and tradition. The Sambódromo - which cuts the Catumbi - is the territory of the enchantment since when the first aggregation bends the elbow to enter the avenue until the last light of the rite goes out.
