Sun, sand and plenty of samba – see some of Brazil’s hottest highlights all packed together in an eight-day adventure. Start the party in Rio de Janeiro, where Copacabana, Ipanema and Christ the Redeemer all vie for your attention. Travel to the cobbled streets of Paraty, then cruise to the pristine Ilha Grande – an island where lush green rainforests meet untouched sandy beaches. You’ll have local knowledge to guide your way and plenty of time to explore at your own pace, and when it comes to free time in Brazil, all you need to know is the word ‘praia’ – beach.

Join us in this 12-day adventure to explore some of the wonders of Brazil! This guided, group tour starts from Rio de Janeiro, also known as "cidade maravilhosa" (the marvelous city), the perfect adjective to describe this city that is home to one of the most famous carnivals in the world, countless natural landscapes, and fun-loving people. See the highlights of the city during a guided sightseeing tour. Take a boat to explore the beautiful Ilha Grande bay and enjoy the lush vegetation while hiking the Pedra Bonita trail. After that, we’ll head for Foz do Iguacu, commonly referred to as the Iguazu Falls, to see one of the biggest waterfalls in the world from both Brazilian and Argentinian sides.

Luciana gave us a very positive vibe - it's as simple as that! Everything was excelent and she did it great! We loved all of it. But the Amazon was great! Our best activity was Paragliding in Rio and the best lodge was Turtle Lodge in the Amazon. The only thing we didn't like were the mosquitos and the hotel in Manaus!

We planned our epic trip to South America with Analia. She was excellent at listening, advising, tailoring, meeting expectations for our requirements to make this trip an amazing experience. Joaquina then took over to support and guide us through the finer details of the trip, and whilst we were on our holiday. We had access to a WhatsApp support for any queries along the way, a 24 hour emergency WhatsApp number also. The tours and guides were of all very good, with some guides standing out as excellent. We did find it a little annoying when on larger tours with multi lingual guides as we seemed to be in the minority. It felt like we weren't gaining from the same level of information as that delivered to the Spanish speaking! However, overall, the service was seamless, caring, friendly and professional. I would recommend the team without hesitation. Thank you 🙂🙂
