During the Carnival the city will be
turned upside down. On the parade route in front of Copacabana beach, dancers on
floats in feathered costumes and sequined bikinis are swaying their hips to the
drum beat, and fans are cheering them from the sidewalks.
Meet the Cariocas, as locals
call themselves, and enjoy their way to have fun, but of course you
will meet other Brazilians from around the
country.
The Carnival is a four day event
that changes dates every year. It begins forty days before the Catholic holiday,
Lent. The celebrations start Friday, prior to Ash Wednesday up until the
following Tuesday. Ash Wednesday is a day used for recovering from the previous
sleepless nights.
Be aware of that
Carnival is the peak holiday season in Brazil
. Offices and
businesses close during the festivities. Since Brazilians take time off and travel,
you have to plan your trip well in advance. Bear in mind
that you are competing for a hotel room, not only with with Brazilians, but
also with tourists from all over the world.

The Rio Carnival it`s also a wild 4 days event, which
starts on Saturday 25 February this year and ends on Fat Tuesday 28
February, leading up to Ash Wednesday (1st March), the beginning of Lent in the
Roman Catholic calendar. Is the Carnival celebration
in Rio the best in the world?
