Die-hard fans of Barretos Cowboy Festival who have attended the event for 20 consecutive years, reported to CNN tips for those who want to come to the event more often, in addition to highlighting the special care that the marathon of rodeos and shows requires.
“I’ve come in all sorts of ways, I’ve done round trips, I’ve stayed in hotels and I’ve stayed in campsites,” said the psychologist. Ticiana Tortorelli, 38, who attended the event for the 20th consecutive year.
She highlights the camping experience, for those who want to witness the festival to the fullest. This option is nothing more than an infrastructure set up at Parque do Peão for those who want to camp there.
