a Carnival in Brazil you also in Foz do Iguazu.The Brazilian (Portuguese: ) is an annual festival in Brazil held 4 days before Ash Wednesday and marks the beginning of Lent. During Lent, Roman Catholics are supposed to abstain from all bodily pleasures, including the consumption of meat. The carnival, celebrated as a profane event and believed to have its origins in the pagan Saturnalia, can thus be considered an act of farewell to the pleasures of the flesh. Brazilian Carnival as a whole exhibits some differences with its counterparts in Europe and other parts of the world, and within Brazil it has distinct regional manifestations. Brazilian citizens used to riot until the Carnival was accepted by the government as an expression of culture. That was because the Brazilian carnival had its origin in a Portuguese festivity called “entrudo”.This tropical paradise is alive with mad passion in every walk of life. Axe (achay) means energy in Brazil and nowhere else is the heart-pounding, rhythmic energy more evident… Whether its an impromptu capoeira roda on a street corner, bursting with music, excitement and the typical Brasilian lust for life… or the sound of loud raucous laughter between two acquaintances over ice cold beer in local open sided bars… Brazil-Foz do Iguacu has it all!

06 Jul 2010 Has anyone traveled to Brazil during Carnival?

Question by Brit: Has anyone traveled to Carnival?
Brazil is one of the destinations I want to make it to before I get all old and crummy! Has anyone ever been there during their Carnival? Any suggestions on airlines and ?

Best answer:

Answer by Jeff
Brit, stay in Ipanema. It is safer than Copacabana. You pay for what you get in a . The Copacabana Palace is sweet, but pricy. Whatever you do, stay away from the Sheraton. It’s nice, but away from the tourist areas, and surrounded by favelas, so it’s not safe to walk to Ipanema from there. Take a direct flight from Atlanta on Delta. Flight number 60 and 61 round trip. Otherwise you have to stop on the tarmac in Sao Paolo and it adds 3 hours to your flight time.

Buy the book Rio for Partiers. It’s a great guide to Carnival, the city, and staying safe.

01 Jul 2010 How can we find accommodation for the Rio Carnival – Brazil ,without paying the huge tourist prices?
 |  Category: Accomodation  | Tags: , , , , , , , ,  | 4 Comments

Question by Will: How can we accommodation for the Rio – Brazil ,without paying the huge tourist prices?
Hi, Im going to the Rio Carnival in Brazil. we have left is quite late to book accommodation, but even dorm beds cost £50 (UK) online. We knew hotels would be expensive, but are these just tourist prices or is it really so expensive during that period? (50£ for a dorm bed! – come on). Any help would really be appreciated. It is frustrating that we dont speak portuguese (only Spanish)!

Thanks very much

Will

Answer by Ed
Well! That’s the price. It’s what we call here Alta Estação (High Season) and its period is in December-March, because it’s summer here. It’s not a trap.

I think this here would be :

Arcos Rio Palace (3 stars) – Avenida Mem de Sá, 117, Centro, Rio de Janeiro

£37,89.

I hope I’ve helped you!

A tradition of the carnival in Salvador are the “trios eletricos” (electric trio). Back in 1950, two persons, Dodo and Osmar (who today are legends of Brazilian carnival), put high power speakers on top of a Ford 1929 and drove around town inviting people to follow the rythm; it was a massive success. In 1951, the electric duo was joined by Temistocles Aragao, and the first Trio Eletrico was formed. Ever since, several trios were formed in Bahia, with much more sound power, on top of much bigger trucks; to follow a trio eletrico, just join the
