Carnival Add-On Experience

February 10–18, 2025

Stay tuned for an exciting add-on experience that takes you even deeper into Brazil’s vibrant spiritual and cultural traditions. From February 10–18, 2025, we’ll return to Salvador for Carnival—a soul-stirring, high-energy celebration rooted in Afro-Brazilian history, resistance, and sacred expression.

More than just parades and parties, Brazilian Carnival is a living archive of African cultural survival. From the beats of samba and axé to the symbolism of costumes and processions, Carnival honors ancestral spirits, calls in orixás (deities), and showcases the power of rhythm, dance, and ritual as tools for both celebration and resistance.

If you’ve ever dreamed of witnessing spirituality in motion, this is it.

Pre-orders to reserve your spot open August 31, 2025. Space will be limited for this add-on, so stay ready!
