Revelers complain of urine smell and unusable chemical bathrooms at Ibirapuera

Revelers at the Carnival in São Paulo are facing unusable chemical bathrooms, causing discomfort due to foul odors and unsanitary conditions.

During the Carnival festivities in São Paulo, revelers have raised concerns about the horrific conditions of chemical bathrooms at the Ibirapuera Park, where many attendees flocked for the popular Bloco da Pabllo event. Reports indicate that some portable toilets at the venue are filled to capacity and emanating strong odors, making them unusable and causing significant discomfort for festival-goers. The odor can reportedly be detected from several meters away, impacting the overall experience of the carnival. Investigations by G1 revealed that this issue is not isolated to the Ibirapuera Park but part of a broader trend during the Carnival celebrations in the city. Other incidents of poor sanitation have occurred, including a flooded women's bathroom in a hospitality box at the Anhembi Sambadrome, highlighting the inadequate facilities provided for the massive crowds attending various events. As the Carnival attracts thousands of participants, such failures in hygiene and sanitation raise serious concerns regarding public health and the city's preparedness for large-scale events. The management of these events needs to address these sanitation issues urgently to ensure a safer and more enjoyable experience for attendees. With the reputation of São Paulo's Carnival at stake, festival organizers must reassess their sanitation arrangements to prevent further complaints and enhance the overall festivities for both locals and tourists alike.
