Carnival in Salvador
12-04-2009, 09:21 PM
Ok hears the deal,
I was thinking of hitting up Salvador for Carnival, supposedly thats where tons of Brazilians go for Carnival.
Anyone been? The party worth it? Anyone else thinking of going?
Prices go up 3-4 times, were talking 60+ dollars a day minimum with a requirement to stay 7 f'in days in a shitty hostel. So i'm debating it, it would seem a shame to be in Brazil in February and not attend Carnival. But on the other hand, that's a fuck-load of money.

Don't book carnival in salvador unless you've been there before. It's dirty, dangerous, poor as balls, and the girls are ugliest in brazil. I don't know why anyone would want to spend carnival there personally, but hippie-types seem to like it because of the poverty.

I hear smaller towns are better for Carnival. You should try and ask some Brazilians a good toown that's not too big to Celebrate. But I do think Salvidor would have a good carnival because Bahia is a very historic place in Brazil.

"You guys talk like there is no such thing as a good looking black Brazilian woman. I saw plenty in Rio. If you guys wouldn't bang this afro-Brazilian girl, than something is wrong with you."
First: thankx. most of the guys here have been looking for an Brazilian European look like in order to supply their needs for a girl who look like more to the girls at home, but more easygoing and less feminists.
Second: This girl in the pic is from SP, she is an actress/model. During 300 years we (brazilians) have been mixing among ourselves and there are black girls with green eyes, for example. There isn't a "pure african brazilian". Even white girls are black in the end. (DNA percentage - Adriana Lima once made an exam concluded she is 73% black).
Go out of box and u will see a brand new world.

I just forgot: avoid Bahia during holidays for now. There is a meningitis epidemic going on there.

Hmm, this thread has derailed.
A shame because I actually did Carnaval in Salvador 3 years ago.
I see that the consensus is that Salvador is poor and and not populated by many hotties. This is true.
What none of the advice-givers considered, however, is that Salvador is flooded with tons of Brazilians from all over during Carnaval because it is THE carnaval destination for Brazilians, much more so than the one in Rio, which is considered to be mainly for Cariocas and gringos. So, you are hardly limited to the local stock of women.
I went there with four friends and had a great time. On the beach parade route, they set up "camarotes," which are basically impromptu clubs complete with dancefloors in the basement, viewing platforms on the top floor, and nooks in the back on the beach to lounge at. This is where the rich, out-of-town Brazilians hang out, and there are dozens of camarotes. It does cost about 100 bucks to attend one, but drinks and some food are included. You can also get a shirt and party in the parade itself, dancing to the musicians playing atop massive speakers pulled by a semi. Either way, you will meet a ton of (hot) girls, party your ass off, and have a blast. The carnaval is much more participatory than the one in Rio. Like any Carnaval, logistics are extremely difficult --everyone is bunked with a bunch of people, it's difficult to find a private space -- but if you actually enjoy fun for its own sake, you would have a good time.
I can give a ton more details and advice for anyone who actually plans to go, just pm me.

Flashman, I've considered before whether I want my first carnival experience to be in Rio or in Salvador and I think you just made me lean toward Salvador.
Mrs Chocolate, when a guy pays you a compliment, the appropriate response is "thank you". "Obrigada" is acceptable as well
I know that, I was just going back to the topic. I'm flattered, okay, but the thing isn't about me overall, isn't? That's why I didn't say a word about it and I don't want look like a girl who wants all the attention for herself... To be misunderstood is just to be online.
