Marching with a samba school C. The high occupancy at Brazil’s hotels D. The pee control during the carnival E. The world’s biggest carnival F. The samba parade — the festival’s highlight
77. More than 500,000 foreign visitors flock to the carnival each year to dance, shout, drink and surge around in happy mobs. Last year, 1.1 million people took part in the celebrations. The occupancy at Brazil’s hotels is currently more than 80 percent and is expected to hit 98 percent, beating last year’s 95 percent. According to local media, Rio’s hotel association says this is the first time they predict an increase in domestic tourists over foreign tourists.
78. What began as street parades developed into a more organized competition among top samba schools from Brazil and abroad. Approximately 3,000 to 5,000 members of each school participate in full-blown costumes that differ every year. All you have to do is buy a costume, head to the meeting spot of the samba school you decide to parade with, pay a membership fee and, most importantly, follow what the person in front of you is doing once you enter the parade with your school. Oh, and don’t forget to learn by heart your school’s tune.
79. It’s not all about the samba. Blocos — street parties / smaller local parades that begin weeks before Carnival — are where the real parties are. Look up a list of blocos (there are approximately 500 each year) for times and location. To find a list, get friendly with locals. These aren’t exactly top secret.
