One of the characteristics of Olinda is its carnival! During this period, the city dresses in the glorious clothes of the past. It is one of the most enjoyable carnivals in Brazil after the Rio Carnival! Enthusiastic crowds gather along the streets to the rhythm of drums and horns. It’s a show that’s all fire and brimstone! Frevo music and the frantic sounds of the drums will keep you on the edge of your seat for moments that will mark you for life.
