The quadra of the green-and-pink school founded in 1928 by Cartola and Carlos Cachaça, a short ride from the Maracanã stadium. Watching the bateria and the community rehearse the year's samba-enredo is the closest thing to Carnival outside February.

Good to know
- Rehearsals run in the months before Carnival and stop after the parades; dates change every year.
- Buy the ticket online and go and return by app car; the quadra sits at the foot of the Mangueira hill.
- Keep your phone out of sight on the street; the UK FCDO notes phone thefts are common, especially between 4pm and 9pm.
