YOUR JOURNEY THROUGH SOUTH AMERICA |
|
|
BUENOS AIRES: 2 WEEKS
"I really loved time here in Buenos Aires. Met so many
great people. The seductive and bustling capital of Buenos Aires is
a city rich in cultural heritage, renowned for its cosmopolitan, chic attitude.
Buenos Aires hosts a surprisingly European feel, reminiscent of Paris with its
chic tree-lined avenues and wonderful plazas which have a beguiling, faded
elegance. Certainly one of Latin America's most popular cities, there is plenty
to keep you entertained - day and night…
Optional Activities you can do while on your Project:

in Florianópolis: "Ana is wonderful! She was so helpful at the start of my placement when I didn’t know what was going on. Then when I found my feet she was there if I needed her, but she also let me find things out for myself.” Christina Homer
RIO DE JANEIRO: 2 WEEKS "I have never met such happy people in all my life, Cariocas love to sing and dance and this for me was a great thing to experience. I would definitely recommend a trip out to Rio, it really was the best time of my life!" Stephanie White… “It is not for nothing that the greatest symbol of the city is waiting for you with open arms. Always." Rio Convention Bureau.
The Statue of Christ is undoubtedly the most iconic of Rio's many landmarks. The
outstretched arms of Christ seem to embrace the entire city and on a clear day
you’ll have 360º views of the city from the mountain, allowing you to appreciate
Rio in all its glory; from the sprawling inner city areas to the forested
mountains to the tropical blue sea littered with a hundred shades of tanned
flesh. During the day, Rios cafés and beaches are the place to be, thriving as
the sun shines. At night, the clubs, restaurants and dance halls dominate. This
is a world designed for spontaneity and mingling.
If you’re in Rio during Carnaval preparation (between September and the end of
January), you can assist with carnival preparations at a Samba school, such as
costume making and dance choreography.
Things to do in Rio: YOUR FINAL DEPARTURE:
SPECIAL 8 WEEK CARNIVAL TRIP: Experience Carnaval like never before!!! “Fabio you are fabulous ... Thanks Rio, thanks Travellers for arranging all this, but mostly thanks to the children and the people who have made us so welcome here .... It says a lot that I am fighting back the tears as I say cheerio for now, folks, love you all, please stay safe” – A tearful final message from Vera Tyler, Rio volunteer |

| TRAVEL and SUPPORT & BACKUP | |
|
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 Limited, ATOL No. 6856. 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. You'll fly into Buenos Aires where you'll be met by a member of Travellers Argentina staff. From the airport you'll be taken to your accommodation in Buenos Aires and settled in. Transport between locations is by comfortable, air conditioned bus and you will be met by local staff on arrival in each new location. On your departure, you will be taken to the airport in Rio de Janeiro and waved off as you move on with all your wonderful memories and experiences! VISAS: Visa’s are not required for a stay of 90 days if you are a British Passport holder. If you're from another country, we'll liase with you about your visa requirements, if any, and make the Visa process very easy. 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. To read about the excellent Support & Backup we provide before you leave and during your programme, please click here. We can also arrange your flight dates to give you additional time at the end of your project for travelling around and sightseeing - South America is a fascinating and wondrous continent! |
