with a capacity of 2700 seats, sector 3 is the first of the sectors on the odd-numbered side with bleachers, camarotes, and frisas.

sector 3 is priced affordably, and it is always quite crowded as the views are good - especially as the first recuo da bateria, the first area where the orchestra plays for the parade, is clearly visible.

getting a prime angle of the teams coming in from behind the even-numbered side of the sambódromo, it is possible to take great front-facing pictures from the grandstands in this sector.
