Our Favourite Hotels
Here's a taste of the hotels we sometimes use on this adventure. The hotels you'll stay in for your departure will be shared with you one month before you go.

INNSiDE São Paulo Itaim
Expect slick, stylish rooms inside this contemporary hotel at the heart of Itaim Bibi financial district. Downstairs, the Bites Box restaurant serves up Brazilian dishes, like smokey feijoada (black bean and meat stew). Fitness fans will love the 24/7 gym, complete with an outdoor crossfit terrace.

Pousada do Ouro, Paraty
Behind the whitewashed walls and sunflower yellow windows, you’ll find a welcoming guesthouse, just eight minutes walk from Paraty’s beaches. Exposed wooden beams hint at its 18th century heritage. Cool off with a quick dip in the palm-flanked outdoor pool.

Arena Ipanema Hotel, Rio
You almost can’t get closer to the world-famous Ipanema Beach at this glistening, glass-fronted hotel. Inside, rooms come with pillow-top beds as standard. For the best Atlantic views, head to the rooftop pool; watch the sky turn blush pink with a frosty beer in hand.
Important Notes
-
Fly into São Paulo (GRU) and out of Rio de Janeiro Airport (GIG).
-
The plan is to meet at around 5 pm on Day 1 of the adventure, so please book a flight that arrives before 3 pm if you can.
-
If you arrive on Day 1 of your adventure, or you book pre-tour accommodation with us, your airport arrival transfer will be included. If you book alternative pre-tour accommodation or are arriving by another mode of transport you must arrange your own arrival transfer.
Arrival transfers are private to Flash Pack and will be in groups depending on flight times. Sometimes this means waiting in the airport for a short while until other flights have arrived.
We don’t offer a departure transfer as Flashpackers leave at different times of the day and many stay for extra nights. We will offer you support with finding a local taxi.
-
Tips are not included in this adventure. Your Pack Leader can advise on suitable amounts to tip local activity guides or services where appropriate, and we will provide a suggested tipping budget closer to your departure date. Please note that all tipping is optional and will depend on what you feel comfortable with.
-
Approx 40 GBP per day for extra meals and drinks.
-
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.
-
Due to the changeable nature of Covid-19 entry requirements, we strongly advise Flashpackers to consult the travel advice issued by your local consular services well in advance of your departure date. Some countries do still require travellers to comply with pre-arrival testing and/or vaccination requirements. Links to the key consular services can be found on our Safety page.
-
We recommend checking with your local travel clinic six to eight weeks before your trip to see if any medications or vaccinations are required.
