The alternative Brazilian carnival experience

Fancy experiencing the most authentic carnival in Brazil? You’ll leave Rio behind, on a 14 day tour offered by South American specialist Kumuka Worldwide which arrives in Salvador just in time for their Carnival. The “Carnival Experience” which starts on 11 February and concludes on 24 February is an overland truck tour with 4 nights of camping in the wilds of Brazil. Trips to the colonial towns of Ouro Preto and Mariana, stunning Bahia beaches, and the wilderness of Lencois and Chapada Diamantina National Park are just the starters to a grand finale in Salvador. With land portion of the tour starting at $1250 (with a local payment of US$300) this trip will sell out quickly, and flights to this or 2006 Rio Carnival will need to be booked soon.

A 10% discount is available on the tour price for those who book and pay in full by 31 August 2005.
