Brazil: Rio de Janeiro. Carnaval or carnival in Spanish is a pre-Lenten merrymaking festival followed throughout most of Latin America. But nowhere stages such a show as Rio where the major samba schools of the city compete for the title of Champion. Each school presents a team of three or four thousand dancers accompanying elaborate floats.
