Ginga Tropical show

An 80-minute dance show in São Conrado sold with hotel pickup and return, from €114.29, back at hotels around 23:00.

What the evening is

Ginga Tropical is a stage show of dances from across Brazil, including the Amazon, the Pampas and Bahia, played to live percussion. A February 2025 listing put it at the Teatro Fashion Mall in São Conrado on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays at 21:30, running 80 minutes with 24 dancers and 10 musicians, rated for all ages. The catalogue calls it a 2-hour performance, so allow for the longer figure.

The catalogue sells it only as a package with pickup from South Zone hotels, central meeting points or the cruise port. Show only means pickup at 19:30. The dinner option adds a buffet at a churrascaria first, with vegetarian dishes, and moves pickup to 18:00. Either way the return reaches hotels around 23:00.

Who it suits

Families and anyone who wants a short, seated show with the transport handled. Child rates cover ages 4 to 10, and 30 reviews average 9.1.

The catch

Drinks are not included, even with dinner. The activity needs at least two participants to run, and an older listing gives the start as 21:00, so rely on the pickup time the operator sends. We could not confirm the theatre's capacity.
