London, UK (PRWEB) July 23, 2007 -- The Rio de Janeiro Carnival is famed throughout the world for its 5 days of costumes, colours, dance and samba. The biggest and best known 'carnaval' in South America, the Rio Carnival attracts visitors from around the globe to join in the non stop 120 hour party and hotels can be hard to come by for tourists. Thankfully Dragoman Overland has predicted the rush and has an exhaustive overland adventure package for thrill seekers looking to join the most vibrant party on earth. For an extra fee, Dragoman Overland make this once in a lifetime experience all the more unique by allowing revelers to join in the world famous Sambadrome parade.

Although the Sambadrome parade is a fine spectacle to watch, it's even better to take part in, and Dragoman Overland make this possible with the unique option to upgrade. $600 may not be cheap, but the experience is like no other. One of the overland adventurers from the 2007 Rio Carnival tour took this option and could not praise it enough, commenting: "You get a completely different view of the parade and dancing down the kilometre long Sambadrome with the crowds cheering, shouting and dancing is something I will never forget." In the spirit of Carnaval, there is no instruction - you just get out there in your costume and dance.

Although it goes against the spirit of the notoriously unplanned Rio Carnival, Dragoman have a well organised exhaustive (and exhausting) trip offering overland adventurers the chance to join the 5 days of 'carnaval' partying leading up to Shrove Tuesday. From the many fancy dress balls to the world famous Sambadrome parade, Dragoman has all the main attractions of the Rio Carnival covered. There are also plenty of optional extras for those who have the energy (or the will to resist more partying) including a city tour, a trip through the beautiful botanical gardens and even watching the world class football Brazil is famed for with a friendly match at the Macarana Stadium. A more detailed breakdown of the potential itinerary can be found here on the Dragoman site.

The popularity and infamy of Carnaval has meant that hotels in Rio de Janeiro for the 2008 event are already beginning to fill up, and the demand is reflected that currently Dragoman Overland trips to the carnival are only available when bought in conjunction with one of their other South America adventure travel packages. However, if you book the Rio Carnival package in conjunction with Dragoman's Gaucho adventures before August 31st 2007, you will receive a 40% discount making for an epic overland adventure with some of South America's most spectacular sights and sounds.

It may seem like a lot of effort to visit 2008's Rio Carnival, but there's a reason for this demand, and it's only going to increase as word spreads further. To quote Diana McAdam, a freelance journalist who accompanied Dragoman Overland on their exciting adventure travel package to 2007's Rio Carnival: "Everyone should experience Carnival at least once: you won't be disappointed. In fact, like me, you won't want to leave."
