Press Release Body = Salvador, Bahia, Brazil -- August 28 -- Images of beautiful
dancers, pulsing samba rhythms, and the joie de vivre of Rio's Carnival celebration
have given Brazil and Rio de Janeiro its fantastic reputation as a land of dancing,
revelry, and extraordinary musical traditions. There is something about the energy
and magic of Rio de Janeiro that is beyond words; the only way to truly understand
it is to feel it, and the best time of the year to experience Rio's magic is during
Carnival.

Intelligent Leisure Solutions, and internet-based luxury travel company, is now
offering a 6 Day / 5 Night luxury Rio de Janeiro Carnival travel package that gives
the elite traveler an opportunity to become part of Rio's exclusive Carnival
festivities. Due to limited quantities and high demand, this luxury vacation
package is available for pre-booking only until October 15th . Accommodations for
the Carnival celebration in Rio de Janeiro at the Copacabana Palace Hotel book up 6
months in advance.
The package features luxury accommodations at the world-famous Copacabana Palace
Hotel- the perfect place to rest after hours of dancing and celebrating with the
beautiful Cariocas (residents of Rio). The Copacabana Palace Hotel traditionally
hosts the most glamorous Carnival Gala party, attracting international celebrities
dressed in luxury Carnival costumes or black-tie attire. The Gala features an open
bar and a lavish buffet catered by world-famous chefs. This elegant, glittering
affair continues to be the most famous and exclusive Carnival Ball in Rio de
Janeiro. During the Carnival week, you will be swept away by the Carioca spirit as
you learn to samba, don improvised costumes, and dance through the streets behind
Carnival bands and groups. Rio's Samba Schools parade into the "Sambódromo" and
compete to have the most original floats and the most agile and beautiful
"sambistas" (samba dancers). Rio de Janeiro is a wondrous mixture of African,
indigenous, and European styles and influences manifested in arts, crafts, dances,
melodies, rhythms, beliefs, gastronomy and other cultural expressions that are the
heart and soul of this vibrant area of Brazil.

The Luxury Rio de Janeiro Carnival Vacation Package begins on February 1st 2008
as you arrive in the "Cidade Maravilhosa" (the Marvellous City, as Rio is called)
and settle
in at the Copacabana Palace Hotel on the famous Copacabana Beach. You will enjoy
six days and five nights of world-class service at one of the world's most opulent
hotels, serving the rich and famous since 1923. Choose from three luxury rooms-
City View, Beach View Deluxe, or the Top Floor Ocean View Suites, and countless
services, including two of the best restaurants in Rio, The Cipriani Restaurant and
The Pergula Restaurant. Also included in the package is a day of sightseeing in and
around the city of Rio in a private, air-conditioned Land Rover with your own
English-speaking guide. You will visit
the most famous and unforgettable sights of Rio de Janeiro: Mirante Dona Marta
(Dona Marta Lookout) point, where you will contemplate a wonderful panoramic view of
Rio de Janeiro, Mesa do Imperador (the Emperor\'s Table), and the Vista Chinesa
(Chinese Lookout point). Your visit will end at Sugar Loaf Mountain, where you will
be able to watch the magnificent sunset over the city and the bay, falling in love
with this enchanted city. You may also visit the Corcovado (the Christ statue) upon
request during your stay. However, the majority of your time and the focus of this
luxury journey to Rio takes place at the Sambódromo and in the streets during the
Carnival festivites. The delight and charm of the party is infectious as you dance
for hours, marveling at the colors and spirit of Rio de Janeiro during the Carnival
week. On Feburary 6th, 2008, the party ends and you return home energized and
enchanted with Rio and the creative soul of Brazil.
