The Universo Paralello festival (roughly translated to Parallel Universe festival) is the heart and soul of Brazilian Psy-trance community, which lasts for nine full days of non-stop music. It’s also one of the most international festivals in the country, and one of the largest alternative culture festivals in all South America.
Universo Paralello happens every two years, right on the height of Brazilian summer (usually starts a few days before New Year’s Eve and ends in the following year), in the most perfect location for the effect – the stunning Praia de Pratigi, a hidden oasis on the Southern beaches of Bahia.
