CARNIVAL IN RIO (EXTENSION TRIP)
6 days at - land only
Tripcode: VSX
Rio de Janeiro: a vibrant, cosmopolitan and colourful city at any time of year but during Rio Carnival it's a non-stop party! Rio Carnival has been dubbed as 'The Greatest Show on Earth' and of those who have experienced it, few would disagree
Watching the Rio Carnival parade from grandstand seats may be the highlight of the Carnival in Rio extension but is far from all Rio has to offer. One of the most beautiful cities in the world, aside from Carnival, Rio has a wealth of other attractions including Christ the Redeemer, Sugar Loaf, Copacabana and the Atlantic Rainforest, all of which we discover on our comprehensive city tour. Aside from the Rio Carnival parades, parties and balls, there is time for relaxing around the pool or on the beaches, visits to the handicraft markets and a chance to see a football game at the world's largest stadium (optional).
The Rio Carnival trip can be combined with our other overland trips to make a longer holiday. Click here for more details
