Festival of Rodeo

Currently, Rodeo is a famous event in Brazil and happens all over the country, normally from June of every year.

Prices to join is quite expensive and you can also enjoy watching a shows as band, singers or artists invited. Perhaps for this reason usually is very crowded.

My opinion about

Personally, I don´t like Rodeo because its consist in “play” with animals just to have fun. Moreover, can be very danger for competitors.

We have several accidents with rodeos along the time, however, still happen in Brazil.
