TRAVEL
You have the option to arrange your own flights or we can assist you with your flight arrangements. If you would like us to do this for you, we will liaise with you regarding available flights and dates to suit you. All arrangements for your flight bookings/payments will be fulfilled by Murray Rogers Travel Ltd., ATOL No. 6856. (Read more about Murray Rogers Travel Ltd.) Where possible, we arrange for two or more people to travel on the same flight and we will let you have the names and telephone numbers of other volunteers on your flight, so that you can chat to each other or even meet up before leaving for your placement.

For Florianópolis, you'll more than likely fly into Sao Paulo or Rio, as these are the nearest international airports. From there you can either fly to Florianópolis or you have the option to take a comfortable bus/coach ride instead. The trip takes about 18 hours and is an excellent way to see some of the country.

For Rio, you'll fly into the international airport.

When you arrive, you'll be welcomed by our local Organiser and introduced to the people you'll be living and working with.

Where possible, all flights we arrange for you have changeable return tickets because many of our volunteers choose to extend their stay once they are in their destination country. Changeable return tickets enable you to do so, within the limits of your visa and the level of your air ticket, of course. If you choose to book your own flights, you should endeavour to get a changeable ticket.

We meet you at the airport regardless of whether you make your own travel arrangements or not.

VISAS:All requirements regarding visas will be arranged by our office and the process of obtaining a visa will be made very easy for you.

We can also arrange your flight dates to give you additional time at the end of your project for travelling around and sightseeing - this is a fascinating and wondrous country!
