Each year the Bloco da Lama has more comrades. The last carnivals it has paraded with more two thousand members. They say its parade on Carnival Saturday casts evil spirits away and brings joy to the Paraty Carnival. Every year, this bloco bid farewell to Carnival taking a bath at the river and leaving a message of peace for the city.

It was created in a Saturday of Carnival at the beginning of the 90s, by some friends that were bathing themselves in the medicinal mud of the Praia do Jabaquara. They noticed that they could not recognize each other and decided to wear such as strange 'costume' that Carnival evening.

The next year, a larger crowd met and formed a bloco for that Carnival Saturday, this time presenting themselves as a prehistoric tribe: covered in mud, from head to toes,  clad in rugs, carrying skulls and bones, yelling ¡uga, uga, rá, rá!.

More than five thousand people attend Carnamar in Paraty each year.

As part of the promotion of fun in the period preceding the carnival, also takes place the parade and party boats in the bay, which has become a traditional festival in the city.

The maritime event has become a traditional festival in the city and the current city administration is very committed to its continuation.
