(26 Feb 2017) BRAZIL CARNIVAL PARTY ALL COVERED IN MUD
Covering their bodies with black mud, some intrepid carnival goers joined the Mud Party (Bloco da Lama) in Paraty, 125 miles (201 kilometres) north of Rio on Saturday (25 FEB. 2017).
The coastal town is a gem of colonial architecture and Brazilian history but revellers went further back in time - caveman time.
Prior to gathering for the party's communal shout of "Uga, uga" the participants waded into the black, thick mud on the beach and proceeded to cover their bodies with it from head to toe.
The event's origins can be traced back some 30 years, when local fishermen smeared their bodies in mud to keep mosquitoes at bay.
Tourists who saw such behavior sought to imitate it, resulting in the birth of the now annual Mud Carnival in 1986.
In recent years, the event has attracted more than 3,000 tourists, with an increasing number of foreign visitors coming to enjoy the party.
