Grêmio Recreativo Escola de Samba Paraíso do Tuiuti, or Paraíso do Tuiuti, is a renowned samba group based in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Originally from Morro do Tuiuti, located in the São Cristóvã neighborhood. Morro do Tuiuti's carnival tradition dates back to 1933, with the founding of Unidos do Tuiuti, the first local samba school. However, after a period of relative success, the school went into decline over the following decades and eventually became extinct. In 1954, after the dissolution of Unidos do Tuiuti and Paraíso das Baianas, Paraíso do Tuiuti emerged, founded by a group of samba dancers led by Augusto Pirulito, Joaquim, Araquem, and others. The name "Paraíso do Tuiuti" is a combination of the first two schools on the hill, and its colors, blue and yellow, were inherited from their predecessors. The school's symbol is a crown with a lyre at the tip, adorned with laurel branches.
