The event: During the carnival the Rio is full of festivities. There are blocos which are street parties happening throughout the week moving from area to area. This also gives areas a chance to throw there own parades with their own costumes and samba theme tunes if they're not competing at the sambadromo. The parties start early and go on throughout the night.
Went to the Laranjeiras bloco with Richard and followed the parade from the start to finish. It ended at a trendy spot in Baixo Gavea which is a good spot for brasilian students hang out for drinks. Went the next day with most of our group to check out the Copacabana and Ipanema blocos.
