São Luís - Brazil

Today's destination

I discovered this alternative destination in Brazil by reading an article on The Guardian: São Luís is not only a charming town part of the Unesco World Heritage, it is also a unique place where you can have fun 24 hours a day. Parties all year, music everywhere and happy people.

This is the schedule of festivals for 2009:

January Pre-carnival rehearsals
February Carnival (21-24 Feb 2009, 13-16 Feb 2010)
March-April Rehearsals for festas Juninas
May Festa do Divino, Espiritu Santo (2 weeks)
June-July Festas Juninas
August Festa de San Benedicto de Alcántara (reggae and afrobeat)
September Festa de San Jose de Ribamar (2 weeks)
October Festa de Açai, Marafolia (alternative, Salvador-style carnival)
November Sleep
December Christmas and Kings festivals

Ok guys, it's time to start planning a trip as soon as possible!
