Carnaval

Ouro preto is increasingly popular during carnaval, especially with college students. although the city loses some of its tranquil historic charm, the steep streets preclude the raucous loudspeaker trucks found in other cities like olinda, and people generally just party in the streets. be sure to reserve accommodations in advance if you plan to visit during this time.
