Brazils' Carnival Proves Why It is a Must-See Lifetime Experience
Brazils' Carnival Proves Why It is a Must-See, Once in a Lifetime Experience
Charles Wooley took on an invitation to the biggest party on earth - Brazils' famous Carnival.
BBC 13 APR 2023
He learns though, that it was a tough assignment - after all, the Carnival is no one night stand. The locals - all 200 million of them - devote nearly an entire week to letting it all hang out.
The Carnival actually started out as a religious festival, a chance to indulge one last time before Lent, when all good Roman Catholics are supposed to abstain from bodily pleasures. Charles admits abstention was the last thing on his mind when he set off, maracas in hand, for Rio de Janeiro party central.
