Porto Alegre's hotels are very quiet at carnaval. We got a great deal on a nice room and great service. We were 2 of the 4 guests at this 12 story hotel.
|
Again we search for carnaval. It was hard to get
information. We found great family oriented carnaval. Fun for all ages. Great Costumes, although we missed the big day ( Tuesday ) with the top groups. First King Momo and his court. Let the parade begin.

Beto Nascente is a photographer and involved with the carnaval association. He found a friend who spoke English. Picked us up at the Hotel and gave us atour of the carnaval camps. We left before the best groups paraded but we got to see the floats as they were getting ready for the next day. |
