Encarnación Carnival 2027

The Encarnación Carnival in southern Paraguay is the most spectacular carnival in the Southern Cone outside of Rio and Buenos Aires. Held on the Corsódromo alongside the Río Paraná, the carnival features massive samba schools with thousands of performers in elaborate feathered costumes, percussion ensembles, and spectacular floats. The proximity to Brazil and Argentina gives Encarnación Carnival a unique energy — blending Paraguayan musical traditions with the scale and spectacle of the great South American carnivals.
