You\u2019ll find recommended arrival and departure airports, along with suggested timings, in the FAQs below.\n"},{"question":"Which airport should I fly in and out of? Plus airport code","answer":"Fly into Rio de Janeiro (GIG) and out of S\u00e3o Paulo (GRU).\n"},{"question":"What time should my flight arrive (in time for the welcome meeting)?","answer":"The welcome meeting will take place around 4pm on Day 1, so we recommend booking a flight that arrives by 2pm.\n"},{"question":"Are airport transfers included?","answer":"If you arrive on Day 1 of your adventure, or you\u2019ve booked yourself a pre-night at the same hotel the adventure starts from, your airport arrival transfer will be included. Arrival transfers are private to Flash Pack and in groups depending on flight times, so you may have to wait in the airport for a short while.\nHowever, if you\u2019ve booked alternative pre-trip accommodation or are arriving by another mode of transport, you\u2019ll have to arrange your own arrival transfer.\u00a0\nPlease also note: in order to secure your place on the private transfer, you\u2019ll need to provide your flight details to our Customer Experience team no later than 30 days prior to your adventure\u2019s departure date. You\u2019ll get automated email reminders about this, but the team won\u2019t be chasing you. That\u2019s why it\u2019s key to get this information over in good time. If the details are provided later than 30 days pre-departure, you\u2019ll have to arrange your own arrival transfer.\nDeparture transfers are typically not included due to travellers leaving at varying times. That said, your Pack Leader will happily help arrange departure transfers for you if required.\n"},{"question":"Are tips included? ","answer":"Tips for your Pack Leader and Driver are not included in the cost of this trip. Suggested amounts per person are:\nPack Leader: USD 20\nDriver: USD 10\nTipping for good service is appreciated in Brazil. In restaurants and bars, a 10% service charge is standard. ALL restaurants add this automatically, so it\u2019s a good idea to double-check the bill to avoid paying a service charge twice.\nYour Pack Leader can advise on suitable amounts to tip local activity guides or services where appropriate. Some Pack Leaders will collect a tipping kitty at the welcome meeting to take care of local tips. However, all tips are at your discretion depending on what you feel comfortable with.\n"},{"question":"How much should I budget per day for extras?","answer":"Approximately 100 USD per day for extra meals and drinks.\n"},{"question":"Will I need a visa? ","answer":"Up-to-date visa and entry information can be found using our official partner, Sherpa, who can help you arrange a visa if needed.\nYou can also find essential travel advice \u2013 including security and local laws, as well as passport and visa information \u2013 on the government website of your home country:\n\nUK residents: review the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) Travel Advice before your adventure.\nUS residents: consult the US Department of State Travel Advice for important travel information.\nAustralian residents: check the Smart Traveler website for up-to-date travel advice.\nResidents of other countries: refer to the travel advice provided by your own government or local consulate.\n\nPlease be aware that passport and visa requirements can change before departure, so it\u2019s important to stay updated with the latest information.\n"},{"question":"What vaccinations and medication will I need? ","answer":"While we are not medical professionals and cannot offer personalised medical advice, we want to ensure you have a safe and enjoyable adventure. Here are some tips to help you prepare.\n1. Consult with a healthcare professional\nWe recommend scheduling an appointment with your travel nurse or doctor at least eight weeks before your adventure. This will give you ample time to receive any necessary vaccines or medications.\n2. Up-to-date medical advice\n\nUK residents: visit the NHS Fit For Travel website for the latest medical advice.\nUS residents: check the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website for specialised health information.\nAustralian residents: refer to the Smart Traveler Health website for current medical advice.\n\n3. Government travel advice\n\nUK residents: review the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) Travel Advice before your adventure.\nUS residents: consult the US Department of State Travel Advice for important travel information.\nAustralian residents: check the Smart Traveler website for up-to-date travel advice.\n\n4. Medication tips\nIf you take prescription medication, ensure you bring enough to last the entire adventure, plus a few extra days in case of travel delays.\u00a0Carry a copy of your prescription with you in case you need to visit a clinic while abroad.\nWe hope this information will help you prepare for a safe and healthy adventure.\n"},{"question":"Are the helicopter and boat experiences private?","answer":"No, these experiences aren\u2019t private to Flash Pack.\n"},{"question":"Will I have the same Pack Leader for the whole trip?","answer":"During this adventure, you will have two dedicated Pack Leaders. This is because laws and regulations in Brazil mean that guides cannot work in different states unless they have a specific license to do so (it\u2019s very rare to find someone with a license to cover all the locations in this itinerary).\nThe first Pack Leader will guide you in Rio de Janeiro and Paraty, while the second will take over in S\u00e3o Paulo.\nEach Pack Leader will be able to offer incredible expert knowledge and guidance specific to their local area, and rest assured that you\u2019ll be well looked after at all times, from the moment you land in one location until you depart to your next location.\n"},{"question":"Will the itinerary change?","answer":"Please be aware that the itinerary, activities and hotels are subject to change. These changes can happen with little notice due to availability, poor weather, seasonal changes, or other circumstances beyond our control. From time to time we may also make changes to your itinerary to try out new ideas and keep things fresh.\n"}],"hotels":[{"name":"Novotel Rio Leme, Rio de Janeiro","short_description":"","description":"You\u2019ll have surf and sand right on your doorstep at this smart, 4-star hotel, just 5 minutes\u2019 walk from Copacabana Beach.
