Boat as Luggage

  Boat transportation: So far, the organization has little information     about teams arrivals and needs for boat transportation from São Paulo     to   Foz do Iguassu and back to São Paulo. In order to facilitate this     transportation by truck, three departure dates (trips) are planned from     São Paulo to Foz do Iguassu. on arrival and one date on departure.


  • São Paulo -> Foz do Iguassu departure dates:August 23rd, September 3rd ,September 7th and September
    10th. The truck(s) will depart after the last team arrival
    on each day and will drive straight to Foz do Iguassu in
    the shortest possible time (normally the boats will be
    available for showering in the morning of the second day
    after departure from São Paulo).
  • Foz do Iguassu -> São Paulo departure:
    September 23rd, after boat showering and loading (probably late
    afternoon)
  • Boats pick-up and delivery:
    The boats will be picked up and delivered in Guarulhos airport. Teams must clearly inform flight and time arrival and departure. It will not be possible to guarantee delivery for Monday 24th
    flights (it may be possible, but not guaranteed).
  • Transportation cost:
    For 30 boats or more, the cost per boat per trip (one way) will be € 50. For less than 30 boats the total cost of the truck will have to be shared by the number of boats.
