A carnival dancer in Rio
The carnival in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, is one of the most famous in the world. In the old days, it was just a chance for fooling around. People threw flour, sand, and perfumed water at each other. But it turned into a four-day festival of the dance called the samba. Tens of thousands of people in costumes dance and parade through the streets.
