Carnival time on The Big Picture

The Big Picture - Carnival time

As always, the The Big Picture blog lives up to its excellent reputation with a new set of amazing photos.

It’s Carnival Season in many countries across the world; from the Mardi Gras in New Orleans to the Carnival in Brazil. View the Carnival photo set here.

If this gets you in the mood for visiting the Brazil Carnival yourself, avoid the crowds (and higher prices) by visiting during Rio’s Winners’ Parade (a week after the main Carnival). Better value and equally extravagant! Speak to the Brazil specialists
