    Asked on November 25th, 2024

    I have a question regarding the trip with the tour code #287315. It states that there is an option to travel to the Iguazu Falls after the tour. Would this also be a guided tour, and how much extra would it cost? The flights are not included, correct? And how many times would one stay in a youth hostel?

      We have 3 different hostels in 3 different cities, they would be reserved depeding on the ammount of pax joining. But there's nothing to worry about we are choosing 4.5/5 reviewed hostels to provide the best experience as we can! All of them will be in the city center. Regarding the Sambodrome there is the regular parade for free and there is also a special reserved spot where you have a designated seat. That ticket you will have to pay extra as it's not included in the package.
