Note . The girls , wagons, parades, samba, masks ... but the real attraction of the carnival in Rio are the beautiful girls (And also surgically perfect DRAGS-queen ...) who parade through the streets and show all or most of their charms. There are 450 to the Rio street carnival. The Blocos, are recovering after the transformation of the foot to Sapucaí parade, a riot of celebration of the citizens of Rio.

The best moment? Waiting to Sapucaí fashion shows, stand there waiting with hundreds and hundreds of meters of people excited. And then, imagine the scene: even hundreds of meters - 700 - the samba schools have to dancing, singing and playing. On either side, stands tall, 88,500 people shouting and screaming and singers on the track each samba school (they are 12 in two days) parades average with 4000 figures and behind at least 200 of these - the battery - are musicians / ritmisti with the drum damage rhythm. It 'was a carnival full of paiellette of asses, tits, in exaggerated costumes, samba madman, something exciting for your great sense of the exhibition, for the triumph of the body, this variety is a spectacle in which the physical thing that we Latins, we find it difficult to do naturally!. And then sounds, the music jumps also if you can not do more, because the force is in a frame so exciting.
"What does the carnival in Rio ? It 's the role reversal, the real paradox, something that really should become a kind of sport daily because the rule is fine, but rule change is vital a way to demonize the old segregation .. no coincidence there's a carnival in every society. The irony, ridicule, the comic the complaint, are essential. " The underside of this spectacular event so unique has become almost more important than singing and dancing, which remain the raison d'etre of the carnival Rio. While retaining the soul release, satirical, and the funny of the complaint, the evolution of the carnival, party popular media show, has also produced a transformation of the audience attracted to this event. increasingly numerous and more diverse social positions, are those persons who wish to take an active part in the show, who want to experience the thrill and excitement that only an uninhibited party in town can offer. Participate in the carnival, however, is allowed only to the samba schools, or who buy a place in a wing of a school, the cost varies depending on the amount from 800 to 1200 R $ .. Continue comparing the controversy between the Sambadrome of Sao Paulo and Rio, there's always wins the game Sapucai.

Thoughts in freedom. The exhibition of the immortals. Each year newspaper columns appear in Vanity Fair. These days are their shoulders to get to the pages of newspapers to emulate the most popular models national artists and VIPs. You do not save the shots to secure a space in the front row for become visible to the world. During the period of carnival reaches its climax. The men of the government and those close to power are racing to stay close to the president publicly, the photo on the front page. So do the people with national VIPs. So the photo on its front page showing these VIPs, elegant people, apparently happy, eating and drinking from the great national holiday. But you just turn the pages of any newspaper or magazine Brazilian see the other side of the coin: widespread violence, clashes with the police, clashes between gangs for control of drugs, assaults, political scandals ever seen first, increasing favelizzazione of large and small cities, ending the threat of devastation on the planet, starting from the Amazon. How can they stay together these two scenarios?.

Every day you live appearances can be deceiving ignoring reality. Indifferent to great evils, people behave as if it were the last day of their lives, "eat and drink and we do not answer to anyone" who cares about the rest. Hedonism, full of carnivals paiellette of asses, tits, in exaggerated costumes, something exciting for your great sense of the exhibition, for the triumph of the body. Beauty fades with time, physical problems haunt us, the evils of the time, aging and the end all we'll go. We only charge you of the few things we have done good, no glory and without fame. The certainty, even the powerful and famous the great world are mortal. The other scene, communities work of honest people, the other side of the coin, also called "speech - the new de facto colonization - the new state of social segregation" and there are many, they face day to day the struggle for survival.

Looking carefully at this company I can think of a scene from the apocalypse. One of the older calls "this multitude of people from where they come from? And the Lord said, these people come from great tribulation. " If the powerful looked with this in mind, they would discover the reality and maybe it would change the destiny of many people who might have a small chance of surviving the Holocaust in place. Discover that we are all mortal. Then we get up every morning by asking a question we are immortal or mortal. So what would be less monotonous life of the immortals.

area, over eight and a half million square kilometers, almost half of all South America, Brazil offers the scenarios that are incredibly different and mutually opposed. If you think the Amazon and its long Rio you conjure up images in sharp contrast to the white sands of Copacabana (if you can avoid it are better, safer elegant those Arpador, Ipanema and Leblon), so if you bind at the same time the wealth and luxury of the great skyscrapers of Sao Paulo or Rio de Janeiro , we can not forget the thousands of slums - favelas - only in Rio there are 754 - that newspapers are crowded with people desperate and poor. But beaches, rainforest and colonial architecture and modern elements are constants of Brazil, all of which combine to create a delicate balance, but able to arouse visitors in amazement and fascination.
April 22, 1500 Discovered by the Portuguese navigator Pedro Alvares Cabral, Brazil remained a Portuguese colony for more than three centuries. The independence of the country bears the date of the year 1822, after which it became an empire now has been transformed in 1889, in republic. Cabral has discovered what a great nation 26 times in Italy and with a distance between the ends equivalent to that between Libya and Norway, there will be a need for a long time most of everything. Cities like Rio de Janeiro , Bahia, Porto Alegre, Recife, Salvador and Sao Paulo only partially manage to understand the many facets of a young country (of the approximately 190 million inhabitants, 70% are under 30 years), in constant motion, contradictory and sometimes extreme.
Faced with such a vast territory, it is difficult to suggest a suitable time to visit the country, because it changes from time to time depending on the destination you want to achieve. In principle, we can still say that if you want to go in the equatorial zone of the Amazon, where the humid heat is practically constant, the best time is one that runs from August to November, while in temperate areas such as Rio de Janeiro is more suitable interval between June and October, and finally, in the South, remember that the winter period (May-August) is pretty cool.
Each macro-region in Brazil has to show his wealth. The North, which occupies half of the Brazilian territory, is the Amazon rain forest, a favorite destination for adventure lovers. With its 1,800 species of birds, 250 varieties of mammals and 1,500 species of fish, the region represents a huge nature reserve, where there are beautiful towns like Belém, situated on the estuary of Rio the Amazon. And again here you can visit the largest river archipelago in the world: the archipelago of Navilhanas. Also in north, but moving to the east, the beautiful Brazilian beaches are visited by thousands of tourists every year. The north-east, the first region to be colonized by Europeans, is rich city of many faces: Salvador, famous for its beautiful churches and the quaint old town (the Pelorinho), Recife, known for a particular version of carnival and for its beautiful historic buildings, Maceio, famous for its beautiful beaches and Sao Luis, renowned for its elegant facades, tiled. Among the most beautiful cities in the country is certainly also Brasilia. The capital, located in the central region of Brazil, offers visitors a wonderful avant-garde architecture. This region is characterized by one of the largest unspoiled natural reserves of the earth, Pantala: 260,000 km of rivers, lakes and forests make up a huge reserve which provide shelter to rare species of animals (onças, felines Brazilians).
Access door to Brazil, the region of Southeast welcomes three largest cities: Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Belo Horizzonte, offering visitors interesting cultural routes. Rio, warm and cozy, nestled between the mountains and the sea, is the famous beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema. But the riches of the region do not end there: the famous caves and Lapinha Maquina (vico Belo Horrizonte) and the famous spas of Minas are of great tourist attraction relevance. Land of the gauchos, the South of Brazil is the region where there are large numbers of immigrants from Europe and especially Italy. Curitiba, capital of the state of Parana, is the city where the influence of this immigration is most visible in the architectural and artistic forms. Also in Parana are the biggest waterfalls in the world, Iguaçu.
Given the vastness of the country, there is no doubt that domestic travel Convenga the plane, but it is usually difficult to visit more than a couple of areas. The advice is therefore to choose before starting the route you wish to follow. Unless Be among the lucky ones who can stand around all (or almost) as long as you want.
