Pop Web site in new window   Ipanema.com: Carnaval in Rio
Ipanema.com's guide to Carnival is tops. Start with Carnival for Beginners and graduate to True Carnival Stories, the ultimate guide to Carnival drag queens, pictures of the action, and spectacular info on Carnival Balls, the Sambodrome, and street parades. You might even be able to march with a samba school... if you're brave.
 
Pop Web site in new window   Carnaval.com: Rio de Janeiro
Wow, this Carnaval guide has a lotse of information on Rio's biggest celebration (as well as guides to other Carnival celebrations around the world)! It's loaded with links to sites with specific information on aspects of Carnival (from Carmen to Gay Carnival). Plus, find guides to the city and other travel tools.
 
Pop Web site in new window   CNN Interactive: Rio Carnaval
Who knew? CNN's got a guide to Carnival. Its not that spectacular: content is short (with travel suggestions and a few Carnival tips). But what we love is the Quicktime video at the Sambodrome. That should get you into the spirit!
 
Pop Web site in new window   Global Gourmet: Brazil Festivals and Feasts
The Global Gourmet gives the scoop on a few of Brazil's festivals and feasts (of course, from a food perspective). Let your tummy tell you when's the best time to take part in the festivities.
