Parintins Festival

Parintins, a city in Amazonas state, holds my favourite Brazilian festival: the Parintins Festival! There, two toy oxes make a beautiful competition, full of colors, music and folklore, on last weekend of June Brazil is not only carnival. Our culture is rich and diverse, and I'm very proud of it. The black one with a star on its forehead is Caprichoso and the white one with a heart on its forehead is Garantido. I root for Caprichoso!
