Sexy. Sunny. Samba. Each February hundreds of thousands of people travel to one of the world’s most sought-after event destinations, Rio de Janeiro for Carnival. This annual festival is held throughout Brazil during the 4 days before Ash Wednesday and marks the beginning of Lent. Before giving up all physical and consumable pleasures, the Brazilians and its visitors to Carnival get absolutely wild.
Although Carnival is celebrated throughout the country in various villages and cities, there is no better place to experience this cultural extravaganza than Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.Costumes, drums, and tasty caiparinhas are just a few of the Brazilian flares that make up the tremendous Carnival experience. Beautiful people from around the world gather on the beaches of Rio, to bask in the Brazilian sun. After a relaxing day, the streets turn into an outdoor samba and dance festival until the wee morning hours. Clubs such as “The Week” and the famous “Matinee Group” pool party events overflow with young beautiful men and women pleading for entrance. The highlight of the week: the Sambodromo parade. Twelve divisions compete to win the title and perform in the Parade of Champions on Ash Wednesday. Ornate floats, sculpted bodies, and energetic music fill the Sambodromo for one purpose: to celebrate life.
