Carnival is a great time to visit Brazil - if you like to party! During the Carnival Brazil comes alive with street parades, live music, and dancing. This celebration lasts for 4 days and is held throughout all cities in Brazil, however the most famous is the Rio Carnival. In 2007 the Carnival will be held from February 16th through to the 21st.

If you’re on a budget then you may be a little shocked at the prices of lodging during the Carnival. Because this is a world famous celebration people come to Brazil from all over and fill up all the hotels and apartments, this causes prices to skyrocket! Therefore your idea about sharing a place with 4 friends is an excellent one; you’re also advised to book early while there are still vacancies available. Below I’ve posted a few links to web pages where you can book apartments or hotels:

Real Estate Rentals
Home Rentals by Owner

Other than Carnival, another great time to visit is during our summer. Our summer begins in November and lasts through to April. During these months the weather is extremely hot, with many days averaging 104F and nights averaging 77F. If you’re only going to stay a week then I’d recommend staying in Rio de Janeiro.

PS: And yes, Brazilian women are very beautiful! I think you’ll very much enjoy the women and the beach attire that’s very popular down here
