Parties and Happiness

The month of February in Brazil is synonymous with parties. For this is carnival time, the party in witch the Brazilians, with masks and fancy-dress, truly reveals the essence of his character; happy, creative, musical and irreverent. Officially the Brazilian Carnival starts on a Sunday and finishes on a Tuesday, almost always in February. (The dates of the celebration vary according to the Roman-Catholic-Apostolic calendar, and takes place forty days before Easter). During these three days the country joins the revelry from north to south, from east to west, although in some places the tradition is stronger. The official festivities go on for more than a week, not counting the so-called "previas", which take place practically the whole summer. And despite always having the same essence, the Carnival celebrations take on their own special characteristics in each part of the country.

Carnival in Salvador - Bahia
(05 Days / 04 Nights) - T2B 017

The people of Salvador also pack the streets to celebrate Carnival. In the capital of Bahia, the music comes from the "Trio Eletricos" (mobile sound systems), enormous trucks converted into stages, blaring out the contagious "axe-music" at a phenomenal volume. These are typically "baiana" inventions which have become popular all over Brazil, specially among young people. Indeed, crowds of them throng the streets of Salvador during Carnival, singing and dancing behind the trucks. Each sound system attracts its own block of revelers, who usually dress in the same costume and stick together as they progress through the heaving crowds.

Packages prices vary. Please contact our office for more details. We recommend booking this tour 4 to 5 months in advance.

Carnival in Recife / Olinda (Pernanbuco)
(05 Days /04 nights) - T2B 018

The Carnival in Pernambuco is one of the most high-spirited and certainly the most democratic in the country. This is a street party for all ages; children, teenagers, adults and senior citizens show off their costumes in the winding streets of Olinda and the narrow lanes of Old-Recife. The "frevo", the rhythm that rocks the party, has versions to suit all tastes. Orchestras of strings and brass play the slower, more rhythmic songs, normally parading in the morning for the benefit of the children and the older participants. As the day goes on, the rhythm accelerates, adding more and more percussion and blending into "maracatu", another characteristics musical expression of the Pernambucano Carnival.

New Year's in Rio de Janeiro
T2B 019

The wide strip of sand on Copacabana beach is covered in a heaving human mass. The sea becomes bathed in light from motorboats, yachts and dinghies filling the bay. It is surely one of the most beautiful and emotional celebration of fraternity on the planet. People of all ages, of all social classes, of all races and religions come together, join as one to look up the sky and toast the arrival of the New Year. The spectacular brilliance of the fireworks display, exploding in different colors and shapes for more than 15 minutes, seems to light up the crowd and send a wave of optimism and confidence in good days to come.
