People planning a trip to Rio de Janeiro to enjoy the carnival atmosphere could benefit from one-way travel insurance.
Gringoes.com reports that many backpackers will be heading to Rio de Janeiro in Brazil to experience the world-famous carnival season.
The carnival is a celebration of social excess in the days before Ash Wednesday and sees thousands taking to the street to party.
The Surf 'n' Stay Backpackers is one hostel recommended by the website for travellers on a budget owing to its proximity to both a local shopping centre and Macumba Beach.
A range of famous sightseeing trips can keep travellers occupied in the build-up to the carnival, with the statue of Christ the Redeemer now regarded as among the New Seven Wonders of the World.
Making it up to the statue also offers a fantastic view of the city below.
Backpackers can also save money by eating cheaply. The local snack is called empadinha, which offers delicious ingredients wrapped in pastry that's ideal eating on the move.
