If you love the atmosphere, rythm and colour of Carnival but could do with a little less of the tourist overkill, then Boi Bumba on the Brazilian Isle of Paratins may be the next best thing.

The Bombadromo comes to life in late June for three nights as the two corrals of Garantido and Caprichoso serve up a Carnivalesque spectacular of sight and sound that really needs to be seen to be believed.

To really enjoy Manaus, you need to step outside of the typical tourist mode and experience the spirit of the people and possibly a "festa" (festival or party) or three. Outside of "Carnaval", which is a big festival throughout Brazil (not just Rio) just before the start of the Catholic Lenten season, Boi Bumba is the region's largest and most famous festival.
