Caprichoso, Garantido and island-wide Boi-Bumbá culture make Parintins Brazil’s most concentrated festival journey in the Amazon.
Why this place
Parintins on Tupinambarana Island is inseparable from the annual Boi-Bumbá festival, when Caprichoso and Garantido transform the Bumbódromo and the streets into a major Amazonian cultural spectacle. Outside festival week, the city still carries the colours, workshops, music and local identity behind the event, while river access and island life provide the wider Amazon setting.
A place should not be reduced to one hero image. These views show different parts of the experience and landscape.
Boi-Bumbá brings music, dance and large-scale performance to the Parintins festival.
