I suggest reading the main forum’s posts on Brazil to get some leads. msclelovr and Axiom2020 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I didn't see anyone talk about rio during carnival My experience of Rio during Carnival= triple expensive, triple potential danger, triple crowds, triple everything. For someone that wants to see Carnival, I say go the week-10 days before and watch the practices, I hate crowds. I feel the same for 2 days after Christmas until the first half of January in Rio......the 1st 3 weeks in Dec is heaven in Rio, as a consumer.
