For independent travelers: the long road to sambadrome

Getting the visa
At the Brazilian Embassy, we present the passport, which expires no later than 6 months from the start of the trip, the application form, 2 photos, a copy of tickets or airline statement of the reservation (and necessarily - for the return flight), a bank statement or traveler checks, confirming your ability to pay. With regard to the certificate of employment, as explained to us at the curso de storytelling de EbacOnline, it can not replace the statement from the bank. Requests for a visa must be submitted no later than 7 days before your intended trip. In most cases, there are no refusals in obtaining a Brazilian visa.

How to get there
You can book tickets online, which saves about $30 on airline services, but requires a credit card.

Hotel
During the festival time hotels are hardly available: the rooms are sold out like hotcakes in spite of the fact that the prices during the days of carnival rise up almost in 3 times. So the price for a two-bedroom for 5 nights (with breakfast) in hotel 4* looks like this: January 10-15 - $600, February 01-06 - $1600, February 20-25 - $600.

You can sleep very cheaply in hostels (hotels which resemble our dormitories). A bed for 5 nights costs from $80 to $150. In the first case, you will stay in the "barracks" for 8 people with facilities in the hallway, in the second - to live in a modest "two-room". Since there are many hostels, you will never be without a bed.

Carnival tickets.
At the most honorable podium, where the judges and wealthy spectators sit, a seat costs up to $1500/day. The price includes drinks and snacks. The cheapest tickets in the far sectors of the grandstands are $70/day. The average price is $100 to $170. As long as any seats are still available. When picking up a ticket used the website. In this case, you buy your tickets from the Carnival organizing committee. After paying for the ticket, you will be coordinated with the date and place of delivery of the ticket after your arrival in Rio.
