The Botequim is a popular club that attracts a mix of locals and tourists. It has a good vibe. Bar Garota de Ipanema is a popular “pick up” address.

Insane Condom Statistics
Carnival has always been about going all out and was traditionally viewed as the last chance to indulge in your favorite guilty pleasures (such as sex) before giving them up for Lent. Although a lot of things change over time, Carnival is still all about letting loose and having a good time before the period of restraint.
Proof that Carnival is all about living it up is the fact that each year the Brazilian government hands out a whopping 89 million free condoms to party-goers. And that’s just in Rio! Quick calculations show that with a population of 6.3 million in Rio and an estimated half a million tourists, that’s about 13.1 condoms per person. Talk about a lot of latex! It’s definitely a different kind of burning rubber.
Understanding the Carnival Culture
The Carnival is a holiday celebrated in Brazil and many other Latin American countries to mark the beginning of Lent. It takes place every year from the Friday before Ash Wednesday until Fat Tuesday – but street parties in Rio de Janeiro take place way before the main week.
The Carnival in Rio de Janeiro has a long and rich history dating back to the 17th century. Originally, the festival was a time for the city’s elite to let loose and indulge in wild parties and celebrations before the start of Lent. Over time, the Carnival became more inclusive, and by the 19th century, it had become a popular event that was celebrated by people of all social classes. During the main week, locals gathered together to celebrate the end of winter and the coming of spring. It was a time when people were liberated from responsibilities and could freely express themselves.
In the early 20th century, the Carnival in Rio de Janeiro evolved into a massive street parade, with samba schools competing against each other in elaborate costumes, floats, and dancing. The festival quickly became one of the most famous and iconic celebrations in the world, drawing millions of visitors from around the globe.
Today, the Carnival in Rio de Janeiro remains one of the largest and most spectacular events in the world, with hundreds of thousands of participants and millions of onlookers taking to the streets for a week of non-stop fun. It’s a celebration of life, love, and happiness, and a true testament to the spirit and energy of the people of Rio de Janeiro.
Things to Keep in Mind
The Carnival is mostly a friendly and fun event, but there are some things you should know if you want to fit in and avoid unintentionally offending local people.
For starters, it’s important to dress appropriately. Many participants dress up in costumes, so feel free to get creative, but make sure your attire is respectful and genitals covered. It’s also a good idea to familiarize yourself with the samba dance, as it’s an integral part of the fun and there is no way to avoid it!
The Carnival in Rio de Janeiro is a spectacular celebration known for its vibrant energy and lively atmosphere. It’s a time for people to come together and have a good time. However, remember that – as they say in Brazil – “não e não” (no means no). Some people even write it on their bodies. Don’t touch anyone without permission and if they move away or signal “no” – take a step back.
Another thing to keep in mind is that the Carnival can be quite crowded, so be prepared for large crowds and long lines. Be patient, keep a positive attitude, and don’t be afraid to ask for help if you need it. And, of course, always be mindful of your personal belongings and keep an eye out for pickpockets, as they can be more prevalent during the event. It’s best to leave valuable things at home.
Lastly, remember to stay hydrated and take breaks if you need to. The Carnival is a marathon, not a sprint, so take care of your body and pace yourself. With these tips in mind, you’re sure to have a fantastic time at the Carnival and make memories to last a lifetime!
