    Hi guys,

    Some great advice so far. I have booked my trip today and will spend about 3 1/2 months in South America.

    Few questions that came to mind.
    Can anyone recommend a good hostel in Rio and if it can be booked before I get there?
    Also I have to book some form of transport out of Brazil, is there an online place to book a bus or train? What would be the cheapest to take?

    Last question, what is the best way to book the Inca trail? Can I book it online. Looks like I'll be doing it in late December or there abouts.

    Thank

    I stayed in Yellow Mellow(or was it Mellow Yellow??) in Rio for a few days. Nice hostel, plenty of young people and, they have organised trips everyday which is very handy(if not a little expensive), and they also organise nights out. I did hear of someone getting bed bugs while I was there, but me and my friends had no problems.

    I took a bus into Rio, think I just booked it at he station. Depends on where you're going to on which to take. Buses are fine, I don't remember if there actually are trains there, nobody mentioned them anyway.

    t5pwr,

    Booked through Llamapath after plenty of recommendations from eveyone http://www.llamapath.com/index.html .I'd check your availablity for december as you normally have to book a couple of months in advance http://www.llamapath.com/incatrail-availability.htm .

    Booking through trailfinders or gap year seems to be alot more expensive so just book locally through these guys.It was a doddle,I think they're peruvian/british owned.

    will be there for late feb.Hope don't get rained out too much!
