Our last stop on the Amazon was in Parintins. The town has a huge festival in June when the 'blue' and the 'red' compete in a spectacular dance show which illustrates the legend of the farmer's daughter and the ox.

When cruise ships come to town, they put on a abridged version of the big show in an airconditioned hall near the pier. It was one hour of non-stop energetic dance, spectacular costumes and great entertainment.
