Carnival 2004 happened from February 20-25. Beija-Flor was the champion of the Samba Parade, for the second year in a row! Carnival 2005 is from February 5 through 8. Request your dates of booking by sending us a email, and choose from Barranquilla, Colombia or Rio, Brazil in Copacabana.

Carnival is Rio's main event. It happens at the peak of summer, when Cariocas are at their best. Festivities attract thousands of people from all corners of the world. Carnaval, as spelled in Portuguese, is a 4-day celebration. It starts on Saturday, and ends on Fat Tuesday, or Mardi-Gras. Dates change every year. Carnival Sunday is seven weeks before Easter Sunday.

You will meet hundreds of single Brazilian women on the beach and street.  The hot Brazil girls want to meet foreign men. Barranquilla women in Colombia are the same and these are the best two carnivals in Latin America. 

Barranquilla is closer and less expensive.  You also can meet over 800 Barranquilla women seeking foreign men at the Colombian marriage agency. Barranquilla is a great place to find a Latin wife because the women are more conservative than Brazil women.  Brazil Carnival sells out 6 months in advance but single men like Barranquilla women better anyway and we can always make a reservation at the last minute.

The origins of Carnival are unclear, but most agree that it started as a pagan celebration in ancient Rome or Greece. Carnival balls were imported to Rio from Italy in the late nineteenth century, and had their golden era in the 1930 through 50's, with legendary balls at the Copacabana Palace and the Municipal Theater.

The Samba Parade began in the 30's - first timidly at Praça XI, and later on Av. Presidente Vargas. It found a permanent home in 1984 at the Sambodrome, a structure in the downtown area. Today Samba Parade is broadcast to dozens of countries, and all Brazilian states.
