The bloco known as 'Heaven on Earth' really is a slice of celestial fun

There are few things better in life than winding through the streets of Santa Teresa with several thousand drunk pirates by your side at ten in the morning, liberally being hosed down by the locals keen to keep their new guests cool while well-prepared folk literally demand you try their R$3 (potent) frozen caipirinhas. The Céu na Terra band are a competent bunch, knocking out crowd-pleasing marchinhas on repeat with plenty of trombone and trumpet to keep things bouncing along. It can get a little squashed as Largo de Guimaraes comes into view, but the grand finale at Largo das Neves and resulting sense of achievement at not having passed out/got trampled on/lost your parrot is more than reward enough.
