BRAZIL / 26 MARCH 2027 DEPARTURE
Beach days.
Samba nights.
This isn’t the classic tourist holiday. It’s coffee before the beach, a table full of new friends and samba after dark. Seven nights with Vamos, a group from Malta and a Portuguese-speaking host—with time to make Rio your own.

RIO BEYOND THE CHECKLIST
A slower morning.
A sunset worth staying for.
Start with coffee and a beach walk. Spend an afternoon in Ipanema, take the cable car above the bay or find a table for a long lunch. Meet us for drinks when the evening gets going.
The point of the week is to enjoy yourself. We make room for Rio’s big sights without building every day around them. No scheduled museum visits or packed sightseeing timetable: choose your optional outings, linger over lunch and join the group when it suits you.
THIS IS HOW WE DO RIO
A shared holiday.
Your own rhythm.
Bring a friend or partner for the shared build-up and someone who knows your pace. Coming solo? You’re warmly welcome. A meetup in Malta, coffee together and relaxed group evenings give you easy ways to get to know everyone.
Five languages. A lot less guesswork.
Your host and guide speaks Portuguese, Greek, German, Spanish and English. Get help with a menu, a local conversation or comparing reais exchange rates.
A night out at your pace
Join us for coffee and evening drinks. Head back early, stay a little longer or keep some time for yourself. Paid outings are optional.
THE WEEK, AT A GLANCE
A plan to
look forward to.
Leave Malta on 26 March. Spend seven hotel nights in Rio from 27 March to 3 April. Here’s the rhythm of the week, with paid outings you can choose to join.
Land, settle in, say hello
Take the airport transfer to the hotel, put your bags down and meet the group for a relaxed first evening.
Ipanema & sunset at Arpoador
Make it a beach day. Take a swim, grab an açaí and walk over to the rocks at Arpoador as the light changes.
Sugarloaf & the Urca waterfront
Walk along the waterfront or take the optional cable car up Sugarloaf for views across Guanabara Bay.
Santa Teresa, then live samba
Explore Santa Teresa’s hillside streets. In the evening, join the optional samba outing or take the night at your own pace.
A day that’s yours
A long beach lunch, your own exploring or the optional Ilha Grande day trip. We’ll fit a possible Maracanã match into the week if fixtures and tickets allow.
Corcovado or coffee by the beach
Join the optional train trip through the forest to Christ the Redeemer, or keep the morning free.
One more swim & a farewell dinner
Go back to your favourite stretch of beach. Join an optional churrascaria dinner if you fancy one more evening round the table.
Check-out & the journey home
Check out and take the airport transfer for the return journey. Your final flight schedule will show the arrival date and time in Malta.
The order may move with weather and local schedules. Football depends on fixtures and ticket availability.

MUSIC, CONVERSATION & LOCAL CONNECTIONS
See where
the evening goes.
Live music, local events and a conversation that lasts another round. Our connections help us explore evenings beyond the usual visitor spots.
POTENTIAL EXTRA / UNDER ASSESSMENT
Favela parties through local contacts
We’re exploring this possibility as an optional, separately priced experience. It depends on the venue, current travel advice, local conditions and transport arrangements.
Current UK travel advice recommends avoiding all favelas, including organised visits. Local connections cannot guarantee safety. Any event needs a separate assessment before it can be offered.
BEFORE YOU SAY YES
The details
that matter.
How is Vamos different from a classic tourist holiday?
Our week is built around enjoying Rio together: beach time, food, music and relaxed evenings, with selected sights as optional outings. Meet the group before leaving Malta and get help from a Portuguese-speaking host and local connections. You decide which paid activities to join and how much time to keep for yourself. Activities, attraction tickets, meals and transport for optional outings are extra.
What does the package price cover?
The €2,100 estimate is per person sharing a room. It covers the planned flights, seven hotel nights and airport transfers. Meals, insurance, attraction tickets, organised activities and their transport are separate.
What are the travel dates?
The planned departure from Malta is Friday 26 March 2027, with hotel nights in Rio from 27 March to 3 April. The flight schedule will show the exact arrival back in Malta.
Should I bring a friend or partner?
We recommend it for the shared anticipation, the memories and someone who knows your pace. Solo travellers are warmly welcome too. The meetup in Malta, coffee stops and relaxed evenings give you natural ways to get to know the group.
Can I have my own room?
Ask when you register interest. We’ll share single-room availability and any supplement before you book.
Do I have to join the activities or nights out?
You decide what to join. Relax by the beach, explore on your own or come along for coffee and evening drinks. You can head back early or stay longer. Organised activities are optional and separately priced.
What information will I get before booking?
You’ll get the flight schedule, baggage allowance, hotel and room options, final price, payment schedule and cancellation terms before you decide whether to book.
