Come and live the magic of the Parintins Festival; this is a traditional folk festival that happens every year at the end of June in the town of Parintins, located 400 km east of Manaus.

For three nights, the city turns into a huge stage divided by blue and red, the two teams that compose the crowds of the bulls.

The bulls are: Garantido, the white one with a heart on the forehead. And the other, Caprichoso, the black bull with a star on the forehead.

Every year Amazon Destinations takes many tourists from all over the world to enjoy those amazing and spectacular nights of Parintins. Every night, the teams present incredible performances, mixing the legends, the myths, the traditions, and the Amazonian culture.
