About Universo Paralello 2026-2027

Universo Paralello is Brazil's flagship psytrance and alternative-culture gathering, held on Praia de Pratigi, a 17km stretch of near-inaccessible coastline on Bahia's Costa do Dendê, about 290km south of Salvador. Started in 1997 by Juarez "Swarup" Petrillo and friends, it moved to Pratigi permanently in 2012 and now runs as a biennial, New Year's Eve edition. The 2026/2027 run is its 19th edition: eight days and nights of continuous music across seven stages (five oceanfront) — Main Floor, 303 Stage, Palco Paralello/Chillout, Circulou, UP Beach Club, Tropikalien and Artboat — spanning psytrance, trance, house, techno, reggae and Brazilian genres, plus Circulou's circus, healing and workshop spaces. Admission includes communal camping; tickets are sold only via Ingresse. The site runs on dry toilets and cashless payment, with no 24-hour ATMs, so a pre-loaded wristband matters more than cash.

Checklist for Universo Paralello 2026-2027

  • Download the Ingresse ticket QR code and a photo ID (RG/CNH/passport) before arrival — signal on site is unstable
  • Pre-load your cashless wristband — there are no 24-hour ATMs on site, card signal is unreliable
  • Pack a tent, inflatable mattress and pump for the included communal camping area
  • Bring high-SPF sunscreen (2+ bottles), lip balm and insect repellent for 8 days in Atlantic jungle sun
  • Pack dark or neutral-colored clothes — the mangrove's iron-rich water stains light fabrics
  • Bring a sealed, transparent reusable water bottle — refill often in the Bahia heat
  • Pack earplugs for 200+ hours of continuous sound across seven stages
  • Bring a power bank and spare charging cable — phone charging points on site are scarce and paid
  • Check current yellow fever vaccination guidance for rural Bahia travel before departure
