The Grêmio Recreativo Escola de Samba Paraíso do Tuiuti is a samba school in Rio de Janeiro, located in the neighborhood of São Cristóvão. In performance of Paraíso do Tuiuti, from the beginning, was discreet, but in 1968, with the plot of Julius Matos honoring the neighborhood of São Cristóvão, takes the first place in Group 3 and goes to the Group 2. In the following year gets the third place in Group 2, with a point behind of the Jacarezinho, vice champion. In fact, until the early 1980s almost nobody heard from school, but from then on, the school lived a moment of great euphoria, thanks to the efforts of the carnival Maria Augusta Rodrigues, who gave the title of the group for the school that had no patron, a phenomenon that is typical of large schools, which confer fame and prestige
