Gualeguaychú carnival is the most well-known carnival in Argentina.
It is in Gualeguaychú, Entre Ríos. I went there twice and it is amazing, very colorful and loud. But, what can we say about this carnival?
The carnival started in a small town. They used to do it in the afternoon because then, there wasn´t too much light to do it. Now people from the whole country visit it every summer.
Ará Yeví, Kamarr, Marí-Marí, O’Bahía and Papelitos are the groups which participate in this
carnival.
Every year, these groups dance to the beat of the music as all the people who visit them.
The groups usually choose a topic to represent like death or happiness and they dance through a gangway showing what they have been doing the whole year. There are different places to sit, cheaper or more expensive depending on where they are If you pay the most expensive one you are literally next to the dancers and floats.
In my experience, it was really amazing as I had the opportunity to be in that place!
