Practicalities


Arrival

When you arrive in Rio, someone from Project Grael will meet you at the airport and take you to your accommodation, in city of Niterói.  You will be given further details about your accommodation, the project and local information. You are also invited, in the evening, for an informal meeting with some people from our team.

The next day you will be collected from your accommodation, taken to the Project and introduced to our team. You will also be presented with your weekly schedule and able to start your work.  On subsequent days, you will be able to get to the Project by yourself which is located within easy walking distance of your accommodation.
The nearest airports to Niterói are in Rio de Janeiro.  Please plan your trip for arrival on Monday.  If you (need, or) want, to arrive at the weekend, it is better to reserve a hotel room in Rio or Niterói in advance.  Please note that this cost is considered to be a personal expense and is not included in the payment.
