During Saturdays in January and February, and the first Saturday of March, the 2009 Gualeguaychu Carnival in Argentina transmits the audience happiness and make participants and viewers become infected with the audacious rhythm of the “batucadas” and the sexy dancing of the “pasistas” (main paraders), as they enjoy a show teeming with unprecedented brightness, light and sound.
The significant size of the Gualeguaychú “corsódromo” (carnival stadium) has enabled the “comparsas” to enlarge not only their squads but also the size of their floats, which are out of reach for any other carnival in the country.
This celebration and its artistic display have been around for over 20 years and is considered one of the most important carnival parades on earth, along with the carnivals of Rio de Janeiro and Venice.

Carnival do Brazil – Foz do Iguacu – Carnaval 100%
a very good Carnival in Brazil you find also in Foz do Iguazu.The Brazilian Carnaval (Portuguese: Carnaval) is an annual festival in Brazil held 4 days before Ash Wednesday and marks the beginning of Lent. During Lent, Roman Catholics are supposed to abstain from all bodily pleasures, including the consumption of meat. The carnival, celebrated as a profane event and believed to have its origins in the pagan Saturnalia, can thus be considered an act of farewell to the pleasures of the flesh. Brazilian Carnival as a whole exhibits some differences with its counterparts in Europe and other parts of the world, and within Brazil it has distinct regional manifestations. Brazilian citizens used to riot until the Carnival was accepted by the government as an expression of culture. That was because the Brazilian carnival had its origin in a Portuguese festivity called “entrudo”.This tropical paradise is alive with mad passion in every walk of life. Axe (achay)
means energy in Brazil and nowhere else is the heart-pounding,
rhythmic energy more evident… Whether its an impromptu capoeira roda
on a street corner, bursting with music, excitement and the typical Brasilian
lust for life… or the sound of loud raucous laughter between two
acquaintances over ice cold beer in local open sided bars… Brazil-Foz do Iguacu has it all!
