We know that this is a long distance trip and most likely first time in Brazil for most of you guys so Manny and Lorrany can assist with the whole planning, including booking flights, hotels, cars, and others. We will also be planning tourist attractions that we can all go together to whoever would like to come on the other days that we are there. Manny and Lorrany are planning on being there from the 9th till the 17th. We will fly into Maceio and be there until the 13th, then take a flight back to Rio de Janeiro where we will stay until the 17th. It's CARNIVAL time in Brazil, it starts on the 13th. We want to experience that in Rio and anyone who would like to come with us is more than welcome to.
Yes, a visa is necessary if you hold an US, Canadian or Australian passport. If you have a Mexican/other countries' passport you can use that and not be required the visa. It's an $80 fee and it can all be done online, Lorrany can assist you with the process.
MCZ is the closest airport. Usually, you will have a layover in Rio de Janeiro or Sao Paulo and then fly into Maceio. We can help you finding flights, with airport pickup, car rental, whatever is needed.
We will send the information for the hotel we are staying to whoever would like to come and stay in the same hotel with us. We will also send a list of nearby hotels and recommendations so you have a good variety to choose from.
We will have a shuttle available to take you to the venue. Both ceremony and reception will be outdoors and it will be summer time in Brazil so prepare for the weather.
