Seating Area
1) Camarotes (Luxury Boxes) are the most expensive and coveted positions. There are small private boxes for 12 to 18 people, which must be purchased in total, and larger ones for hundreds of people, some occupying two floors, the lower floor at the parade's street level. These large Camarotes are sold as single all-inclusive tickets, sharing that space with other patrons.
2) Frisas (Front boxes) consists of an open-air box with 6 chairs. When you buy a seat at a Frisa, it is essential to mention that you will have 1 seat/chair per ticket purchased. As each box has a capacity for 6 people, there will be other people next to you in the same box unless you buy all 6 seats. They are at street level and offer a close view of the parade.
3) Grandstands (Bleachers) are the most reasonably priced seats. Their elevated position provides a better view of the school in its entirety. Standard bleachers are not numbered EXCEPT for the special bleachers in Sector 9, which are numbered and more expensive. Bleachers do not have individual chairs to sit in and are basically of open-air large concrete steps.
Note: If you are interested in tickets for Luxury Boxes and non-touristic sectors, don't hesitate to contact one of our operators.

The description of the aforementioned Historical City Tour during this period is as follows:
Due to Carnival, much of the city will be closed to vehicles, resulting in our traditional Historical City Tour rerouting. However, when possible, we will extend the tour to include a visit to the Mercado Modelo.
After being picked up from your hotel, we will drive to Pelourinho via Tororo Lake, where wonderful sculptures of the Orixás can be seen on the tranquil waters. Upon arrival in Pelourinho, the walking section of the tour begins. We will stroll through the area's cobbled streets past beautiful colonial buildings and churches (church opening hours will, however, be affected due to Carnival). The streets will be covered in carnival decorations; however, during the morning, there will be little or no carnival activity, allowing us to explore the area calmly. The bands parading through the streets that provide the carnival entertainment in this part of the town begin in the afternoon and give a glimpse of the more traditional Carnival that is very different from the other more hectic parts of the city.
From Pelourinho, we will continue on foot to the Municipal Square, which has a wonderful bay view. Then, we will take a short elevator ride to the bustling Mercado Modelo, the ever-popular market for local souvenirs and handicrafts. Return to hotel.
