2013 is the year to dance in the sand in Rio de Janeiro. The world’s attention will turn to the Brazilian city as the Summer Olympics is handed over on Sunday and it gears up to host the FIFA World Cup 2014.

G Adventures suggests travellers get ahead of the trend and attend the one event that can be relied on each year to draw crowds to the coastal city and its famous beaches – the colourful celebratory parades of Rio Carnival.

A six-day standard Rio de Janeiro Carnival Experience is priced from £989pp based on two people travelling together and staying in a standard-level hotel from February 7th, 2013. The same trip staying in a comfort-level hotel is priced from £1,449pp based on two people sharing.
