The reigning Miss World Americas, Jessy Pedroso, has been making the most of what many consider the greatest carnival on the planet in Rio de Janeiro. From exclusive grandstands and VIP lounges, Jessy followed the spectacular samba school parades, which traditionally take place over several nights during Carnival, with the schools competing for the championship title at the Sambadrome.

“This is the greatest show on Earth. Experiencing all of this up close is simply indescribable!” she shared on her social media.

Pedroso also posted colorful images capturing the breathtaking costumes, massive floats, and artistic performances that light up Sapucaí, the famous parade avenue, proudly showcasing one of Brazil’s most extraordinary cultural expressions to the world.
