Contiki invites your clients to the world’s biggest party

There is no other party on earth that compares to the world famous Rio de Janiero Carnival, and this February, Contiki (www.contiki.com.au) is inviting your clients to immerse themselves in the vibrant colours, exhilarating lights and hypnotic rhythms of the Brazilian celebration that will take them beyond their wildest dreams.

Contiki is offering the ultimate experience in the city that never sleeps during an unforgettable 6-day/5-night Rio extravaganza from $1,559 (land only). From the heights of Sugarloaf Mountain to the wonders of the Christ the Redeemer statue, the leading travel company for 18–35s will be showcasing the beautiful sights of Rio while hitting all the hotspots with the endless parties and Sambadrome parades of Carnival!

Your clients will stay in the ideally located Ipanema Inn situated near shops and the renowned beaches of Ipanema and Copacabana, and will enjoy unique inclusions such as a bike ride and city tour. Plus, for all 6-days an expert Tour Manager will be there to provide their services and recommend the best local spots to hit.

Contiki is also offering fantastic optional trip add-ons! For clients choosing to attend the must-see Carnival Parade, Contiki will save them the hassle of organising their own Sambadrome ticket needed for entry. Another amazing chance-of-a-lifetime optional is the opportunity to actually participate in THE SAMBA PARADE – costume and all!

Building on the success of the Contiki’s South America program which commenced in November 2011, the dedicated youth travel brand has had to add an increased number of departures to its six amazing itineraries covering Peru, Argentina and Brazil.

Fiona Hunt, Managing Director, Contiki Holidays said, “Simply seeing Rio’s Carnival up close is a once in a lifetime opportunity for most people. Contiki is excited to be offering this immersive trip to bring passengers into the heart of the action, experiencing a truly iconic adventure that is Carnival.

“Each tour is perfectly-sized averaging 24 passengers using local private transport, providing an authentic South American experience. By adding extra departures to our tours we are able to keep true to these smaller group sizes and deliver a richer experience.”
