Well, another year has come and gone and another 5 million people survived Rio Carnival, the hottest party on Earth. Hotties with bodies aside, we’re talking sweltering temperatures here. No wonder everyone’s mostly naked! I guess you gotta do what you gotta do.

The annual Brazilian festival of outrageous costumes, dancing, and general merriment just wrapped up and if you haven’t seen this spectacle for yourself, what’re you waiting for? Here are 15 photos that prove Rio Carnival is the hottest party on Earth:

01 | ABS-OLUTELY A GREAT TIME
