The Circo tent in Tokyo, Japan.
Circo Fabuloso (Spanish for "Fabulous Circus") is a circus that travels all around the world, and is the main setting of the show.
Leo, Carmen, and Andy's parents all work in the Circo. The Hoppers, Mrs. Mariposa, the Chockers, and Señor Fabuloso all live in trailers outside the circus tent.
Senor Moncarlo Fabuloso is the ringmaster.
Several members of the Circo
Members
- Andy Hopper - A frog from the United States who loves art. He is very enthusiastic about everything he hears.
- Leo Chockers - A wombat from Sydney, Australia who loves food and is learning to become a cook like his father. He is shown to be very fearful of new things and sometimes panics when worried.
- Carmen Mariposa - A butterfly from Mexico City, Mexico who loves music. She plays a Spanish guitar handed down from her deceased grandmother.
- The Magic Globe - A miniature model of the world that lives in Carmen's pocket. Whenever the Circo goes somewhere new, she emerges from Carmen's pocket, grows to full size, and tells the kids where they are as well as sharing a fact about the place they are, such as a greeting or other useful trivia.
- Honey, Carmen's mischievous yellow pet hamster. She often escapes from her cage but it is only because she is curious and wishes to be included.
- Señor Moncarlo Fabuloso - A flamingo from Barcelona, Spain and the ringmaster of Circo Fabuloso.
- Mr. Hockbar, a vole from Istanbul, Turkey who does all the odd jobs, such as making deliveries and doing the laundry, as well as handling the scheduling for the Circo. He has a tendency to go into overdrive when a lot of things need doing, which can create stress for others around him.

Affiliates
- Luna the Moon - Earth's moon, who guides Leo, Andy, and Carmen on their trips during the daytime, and spends every night in the sky. Luna knows every person in the world, and is capable of using magic, though she prefers to keep this fact secret when in public. She suffers from an unusual weakness: happy music makes her dance uncontrollably, which can often devolve into chaos for those around her. Her catchphrase is, "...but remember, there's always tomorrow."
