Parintins stands out as the most hospitable cultural city in the region. Its people exhibit an artistic expression recognized worldwide due to their folkloric festival call the Boi Bumba. The Boi Bumba Festival is held on June 28,29,30 and is the biggest annual shindig in Amazonas. Our ship was treated to a sample during our short stay. The event is a competition between two Boi teams each with several thousand members (not for our show, however). It is a rivalry between the teams that combines theater, drums, music, dancing and circus. Quite colorful and loud.
