Overland between Rio Carnival & ... (LAL)

From: $3797 was $4365 + Kitty

Overview

46 days between Lima and Rio De Janeiro

The Rio Carnival is the greatest party on earth - an amazing spectacle of colour and costumes set to the sultry sounds of samba music. It's a once in a lifetime experience, joining thousands of Cariocas in a six-day frenzy of dancing and celebration. We arrange much sought after tickets to the Sambadrome and also can arrange optional excursions to Corcovado (the Christ the Redeemer Statue) and to Sugar Loaf Mountain.    

After the amazing Carnival we move through the Amazon Jungle to explore the Pantanal, then on the new Dragoman route completing our journey in Lima .    

Rejoining the more usual routes, we head across to Chivay to see the condors, stay with Cechua Indian families, camp in the deserts of Peru, visit the Nazca lines and end our trip on the Atlantic seaboard.
