Brazil’s mud carnival in Paraty blends tradition and festivity
Brazilians are embracing the wild and messy fun of Paraty’s Mud Carnival, a unique tradition that began in 1986 when teenagers started playing in the mud. Now a major event, the festival combines lively parades with eccentric street parties, attracting thousands of revelers covered head to toe in mud.
