YOUR RIO GUIDE

Plan your trip to Rio: from idea to itinerary

A complete path for choosing dates, flight or package, accommodation, coverage and experiences in Rio de Janeiro

Start with the type of trip

Ipanema Beach and Morro Dois Irmãos, Rio de Janeiro

Before looking for deals, write down your departure city, possible dates, number of nights, who's traveling and your total budget. Also note what's non-negotiable for you: a direct flight, a family room, beach days or a night at Sapucaí. That way you can compare offers that actually cover the same trip.

The order that avoids disconnected purchases

  1. Choose the season and a range of dates; for Réveillon 2027 look for December 31, 2026, and for Carnival 2027 consider February.
  2. Compare flights to GIG and SDU, with baggage and transfers included in your calculation.
  3. Compare booking hotel and flight separately against at least one package offer.
  4. Check coverage for everyone traveling and for the whole period.
  5. Book activities with limited capacity or fixed dates first; leave room for weather and changes.

Choose one of these paths

Before you pay

Read the final amount including fees, taxes and baggage; confirm names and dates, change and cancellation terms, the accommodation's address and how you'll receive your bookings. Keep receipts and contact details for each provider. If a price seems exceptional, check that it's for the same dates, occupancy and currency.

Make the first decisions

Before comparing flights, choose when to go, check the travel documents for every passenger and compare neighborhoods to stay in. Then look at the most common questions.
