Rio has
great beaches and mountains. But be honest, I was not there in late February
just for the beaches. I was there for the Rio Canival!
Just like New Orleans' Mardi Gras (also a Cranival itself), the Carnival preparation starts not long after the new year, and approaches its climax the weekend before the Lent starts (Wednesday). Tuesday ("Mardi" in Ferench) is the climax of all activities. For Brazilians, starting from Friday afternoon and extends all the way to Wednesday morning, the whole period is a national holiday. There are a lot parades all over Rio de Janeiro (and other Brazilian cities) in that period. The main parade takes place in the Sambodromo on Sunday and Monday nights. Only after watching the parade at Sambodromo, you can feel what an extravaganza it is.

Cuisine and Nightlife The capital of Brazilian nightlife is, unsurprisingly, a paradise of fine dining. Almost every kind of international cuisine is available in Rio, but the local dishes here reach their culinary heights. The diva of Rio's dishes is feijoada, a black beans and pork dish that comes with rice, kale, and manioc. To drink, try a caipirinha, Brazil's tasty and infamously potent drink made from cane sugar rum, lime juice, and sugar. ![]() Nightlife in Rio is, of course, legendary. Good times almost always begin with visit to one of the many samba halls or discos, and very often end watching the sunrise from the beach. If you can't dance to samba but love to watch other people do it, there are plenty of shows in town where you can admire the beat and the wild costumes. If samba isn't your thing, it's easy to find a nightclub featuring live jazz or almost any kind of music |
