Carnival in Salvador, Brazil – The Unknown Party Capital of the World

Miami, FL, June 30, 2005 --(PR.com)-- Most people would agree that Mardi Gras in New Orleans, Running with the Bulls in Pamplona, Spain, and/or Carnival in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil are the ultimate destinations for adventure seekers and party animals. Although these events are some of the most well-known, they may not be the “craziest.”

Carnival in Salvador, Brazil is by far the wildest street party on the face of the earth. In 2005, the Guinness Book of World Records recognized Carnival in Salvador as the biggest street party in the world. Sixteen miles of streets and avenues are closed to accommodate over 100 bands and 2 million people invading the streets to party, dance, drink, and listen to some of Brazil’s most popular music.

Salvador is a small city located in the Northeast of Brazil. It is considered the cultural capital of the country because of its unique ethnic and cultural diversity. During Carnival, the city erupts into a 24-hour party for six days straight. You may be asking yourself, isn’t the best Carnival in the world, much less in Brazil, in Rio de Janeiro? The answer is NO!

Unlike Rio de Janeiro, where one sits in the stands and watches the parade, Carnival in Salvador allows you to be in the middle of the madness. Partygoers have the following options:

1. Be part of the parade by joining “Blocos.” These are the exclusive VIP areas inside the parade. They are moving parties in which participants follow huge sound trucks, called “Trio Electricos,” carrying some of Brazil’s hottest bands playing live music on top. The areas are roped off by 1000’s of security guards and provide support cars with bathrooms, drinks and medical assistance.
2. Party in VIP lounges next to the parade route called “Camarotes.” These are elevated bandstands, where you can party and watch the Blocos passing by at eye level. The “Camarotes” are equipped with great music, dance floors, DJs, food, drinks, and of course beautiful Brazilian singles! (And yes, everyone is “single” during Carnival)
3. Party in the street. You can join millions of Brazilians dancing, drinking, and celebrating the greatest show on earth!!!

Carnival in Salvador is pure insanity. It is not overrun with foreign tourists like Rio de Janeiro and is more authentic and local. If you are looking to forget about the worries of your day to day life, party for a week straight, and meet tons of Brazilian singles, Salvador is the place to be from February 24th to March 1st, 2006. Ask anyone that has ever been to Salvador for Carnival and they will tell you that it was one of the craziest and coolest experiences of their life!
