Rio may be best known for its annual Carnival, but visiting here you'll realise that every day is cause for celebration. Settle in to your hotel before meeting up with your Travel Director this afternoon. Then perhaps hit the sands of Copacabana to watch the sun set whilst you sip your first Cachaça.

This tour in general has been higher priced than the previous ones I've taken.
Good amount of time in each location, compared to other Trafalgar tours I have done there was more free time in this tour which was appreciated so could do your own thing
Well organised, itinerary and local experts were very good, accomodation was very good and well located some accommodation was more basic than others but perfectly comfortable , included meals were very good, there were some issues with check in with some of the air travel but that was an issue with LATAM not Costsaver , the buses used in all countries were very modern and comfortable
A little irratating getting woke up at 2am or 3am for flights in the morning, it wore you out for the next day or location. Also, being on the very back row of the plane by the urinals, on a tour that we had booked months in advance. Spent too much time shopping, when those days could have been for another locale or free time.
The directors, drivers and local specialists were exceptional. The administrative part of the overall trip was lacking though. Old itineraries from trafalgar and poor communication could have been better.
