Rio de Janeiro
What would be Rio de Janeiro without the carnaval?
Of course, there would remain the Sugar loaf, Cristo Redentor on Corcovado, the sublimes beaches of Ipanema and Copacabana, the “plug” of Santa Teresa, Maracana or the insane evenings of the district of Lapa. But, without the carnival, the “cidade maravilhosa” (the marvellous city) would lose a part of its heart. Because the carnival, it is the time of, a few days, the occasion for a whole town to find itself.
