Flights

International flights to/from Brazil are NOT included! When booking your flights, I would recommend arriving to GIG Airport Suvarnabhumi Airport by 3pm on the first day of the trip so that you can attend the welcome dinner. Check out from the hostel is at 11am on the last day of the trip in Koh Samui, but luggage storage at the hostel is an option if you have a later flight!

Whether you need a visa depends on your nationality. U.S. citizens are required to obtain a visa to enter Brazil.
