Is the Rio Carnival on your travel wish-list? This video is my impression of Brazil on the lead up to the 2015 Rio Carnival. It shows the wildlife in Panama with Pahrana fishing, a boat party in Parati and the Rio Carnival! It’s a fun and beautiful country with a real mixture of friendly people keen to enjoy life.<\/p>\n

My tips for the Rio Carnival<\/h4>\n

There are street parties happening all the time<\/h5>\n

They have\u00a0a loud sound system with blasting beats and loud singing, a crowd of dancing people and beers for sale. They happen at different times and locations – Google closer\u00a0to the Carnival to find the best app that gives you the latest news for the block parties.<\/p>\n

The Samb\u00f3dromo goes all night<\/h5>\n

I had no idea what to expect for the main carnival show. We had pre-drinks, dressed up and\u00a0entered our\u00a0section. I was in the cheap seats right at the end of the carnival\u00a0– this meant the dancers had run out of energy by the time they reached us.\u00a0The plus was\u00a0I saw them bowing, taking the costumes off and throwing them in the rubbish! The seating is in the open with basic toilets and you can buy cans of\u00a0drink. In the early hours of the morning, we went down to play with the discarded costumes!<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t
