Carnival in Rio; Your guide to the biggest party in the worldI arrived here the first time just three weeks after Carnival in Rio had ended and everyone was telling me about their fantastic experiences, so eleven months later when I finally got to experience it I was well pumped up. And did I have a great time! It was something completely different from what I had expected, but it was great! I went to Sambódromo(I even paraded in it), I went to street parties. Before the Carnival for months I had been going to different street parties and Samba School rehearsals.
The second year I delved deeper into the street parties building up to Carnival, and that´s where I met my wife to be. The Carnival that year of course became different and the Carnival in Rio de Janeiro never will be the same to me. To be in the middle of all that is going on in the city as a single can´t be compared to not be in a relationship. The biggest propulsion in all this is sex, it is always present, sometimes clearly visible, but most of the time just simmering under the surface. I still enjoy it, but I will never forget the first time. I don´t know why I told you all this, probably because I think it´s my personal Carnival history and everyone that comes to Rio to experience it will have one. There are so many components and circumstances that almost anything is possible, in my case I got married. I have been trying to explain the Carnival on different web pages, just click on the links if you want to know more about that particular subject: History of Carnival will give you a quick brush down on the different roots and influences. There is a whole text about Sambódromo and also how to get Carnival Costumes so you can participate in the Parade. I also explain about Samba School Rehearsal Parties and Street Parties before and during Carnival .Explaining all this will hopefully enhance your understanding and experience of the Carnival in Rio de Janeiro.There is also info about Accomodation during Carnival and Rio Carnival 2009 . I finish off with some General Tips . If you want to see some pics from Sambódromo go to Rio Carnival Photos To top of this page Go from Carnival in Rio to Home for www.gringo-rio.com
