There is no such a person in the world who has never heard about the Brazilian Carnival. The mad energy of the musical rhythms, the incendiary movements of the dancers, the bright feathers, the shine of the rhinestones, the half-naked exotic beauties - the whirlwind of emotions that grabs any action that falls on it. This event is comparable only with the eruption of a volcano or a thousand-mile salute. Many tourists go to Rio-de-Janeiro when all the streets are transformed beyond recognition here. The Carnival in Rio-de-Janeiro takes place once a year, in February, at the height of the Brazilian summer. It opens a week before Easter, on Saturday, and lasts until the next Wednesday, called "ashy". For all these 4 days, the mayor of Rio-de-Janeiro passes all the rights to administer the city to the Carnival King. In parallel, the neighboring cities of San Paulo, Recife, Salvador, Fortaleza are also covered by a wave of fun and music.
The Brazilian beer festival is the most grandiose event of its kind outside the European continent. Annually, from October 1 to October 20, Santa Catarina hosts almost 2 million tourists. Traditional entertainment is a beer marathon, during which the participants of the competition run a mile and a half, drinking every 300 meters on a large mug of beer. Absorption of the foamy drink is accompanied by a mandatory "Prosit!", a joint swing and a traditional Teutonic roar. Oktoberfest is celebrated in this state, not by chance - thanks to the large number of people from the Rhine, Isar, and Elbe, it has long been called "Brazilian Germany". The city is visited by painted cisterns, from which local beer is sold - by the way, is not worse than German beer. And that was, from what to drink, at each corner are traded mugs, German in appearance, Brazilian in origin and varied in form and size.
