day 1-5Rio To Parati And The Pantanal

Rio de Janeiro, famous for its Carnival and ability to party at any time, is our starting point. Christ the Redeemer, landmark on the top of Corcovado Mountain has been named one of the 'Seven New Wonders of the World.' Nicknamed 'Cidade Maravilhosa', or the 'marvellous city' it lives up to its name on many levels. With over 50 kms of white and golden sand beaches and South America's largest urban forest and legalised 'street art' there is a lot to see.
Carnival celebrations are always chaotic, crowded and fun and a must during any stint of travel to Brazil! Our trips from Rio start after Carnival and we have accommodation packages available along with Sambadrome tickets if you would like to arrive early to take part in this epic event along with other people in your group.
Leaving Rio we head to the coastal village of Parati. This unspoilt and picturesque town has remained fundamentally unaltered for three centuries. Cars have been banned from its cobbled streets that run down to the seashore, instead mountain bikes are used and are a good way to get around. Another great way to explore the secluded islands of this pristine coastline is taking a sailing trip in one of the traditional schooners.
We then begin our travel through Brazil in earnest as we head inland and journey on to the Pantanal.
