What's Not Included:
* Airfare/transportation to and from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (but we're here to help you through the process, it's easy.)
* Meals outside of those specified (breakfast is included daily as well as two group dinners)
* Alcoholic beverages (clean drinking water & a variety of other non-alcoholic drinks are provided at each breakfast & the two group dinners)
* Any activities you want to do while in Rio that are not listed here
* Travel Insurance (here's a site we recommend if you want travel insurance)
FAQ's:
**Accommodations: 4-star hotel on Copacabana Beach with double occupancy rooms offering ocean views.
**Meals: A quality breakfast is included daily. Two quality, authentic Brazilian group dinners are also included. Lunches are not provided because we are on the go so much that we like to leave it up to each individual where and when they eat lunch each day. The remaining dinners not included are to give each person a chance to select a restaurant of their choosing and experience Rio in a setting outside of the large planned group meals.
**Health/Covid: All attendees are required to meet local health/covid protocols. It's a wild world right now and we can't control what each separate government is going to require nor what each individual will feel about that requirement, so be in-the-know here and get travel insurance if you're worried.
**Getting There: E Z P Z ;) Airport is GIG (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) with daily flights from every major airline. We suggest checking both Kayak & Google Flights to find the best rates.
**Safety: Some of you may have heard that Rio is scary or dangerous. While it does likely have more crime than say Hawaii, a fun & safe vacation is very possible. We do it all the time. A few important safety tips: 
1) Don't go anywhere alone, especially at night.
2) Stay in the main more busy & touristy parts of town, especially at night.
3) Keep valuables hidden at beach, on tours, on street, etc.
4) Don't be "the loud obnoxious American".
**How firm is the Itinerary? There are countless things to do in Rio and we'll make sure your group experiences the ones best for you! Some of the top excursions are booked in advance and are firm, but this is your trip! If there's something you don't want to participate in or something else you'd rather do, we'll help you do that! We'll stick to the itinerary for all those who want to join the main group.
