About this trip

Rio de Janeiro Group Trip
24th Oct - 1st Nov 2026

🇧🇷 Trip Details:

Over 9 days we’ll explore the city through music, food, nature and local experiences! From samba and Afro-Brazilian history to a stunning 2-night escape to a town often called the "Caribbean of Brazil" for its crystal-clear turquoise waters and pristine beaches.

🏠 Accommodation

We'll be staying two amazing properties for this trip:

  • In Rio, we’ll be based in a 5★ hotel in the heart of Copacabana, featuring spacious rooms and a gorgeous rooftop overlooking the beach.

  • We’ll then escape the city for two nights at a boutique hotel in Cabo Frio, a beautiful coastal town often referred to as the “Caribbean of Brazil” for its crystal-clear turquoise waters and pristine beaches, just 2.5 hours away from the city. (In this accommodation everyone will have a solo room)


For safety reasons we will only release the full details of the hotel to confirmed trip participants
