Brazil Waterfalls, Beach & Rainforest

Made up of 275 falls and a whopping 80 metres high by 1.2 miles long, it’s no wonder the majestic Iguassu Falls has been named one of the Seven Wonders of the World. During your time here, you’ll get to hop across the border and stroll the walkways of the Argentinean side, before returning to Brazil for epic, panoramic vistas of the cascades. Get up close to Floriana Falls, Devil’s Gorge Canyon and the mighty Iguassu River – to name a few. As you explore this vast, verdant region, you’ll quickly discover how this is the largest waterfall on the planet.

The way to a city’s heart is through its stomach – is that how the saying goes? In any case, it’s true with Rio, and during your time here you’ll not only get to explore the city on a private excursion, but we’ll whisk you off on a foodie tour too. We’re talking eight stops and six hours of authentic grub, avoiding all the tourist traps and going full-on local. And there’ll be plenty of beer, juice, and Caipirinhas to keep you well-watered too. When you’re not on tour, we highly recommend some time relaxing on Brazil’s acclaimed beaches before heading to the Amazon: your next stop, and the most adventurous part of this incredible itinerary.

Luxurious lodges on stilts, nestled in the heart of untouched jungle, await you in the Amazon. Fly from Rio to Manaus – the Amazon’s largest city – on day eight, and embark on your 2.5-hour transfer into the rainforest. After settling into your gorgeous wooden cabin, you’ll be briefed on the activities ahead, from jungle hikes to night safaris in search of sloths, snakes, caimans and nocturnal birds. Or how about a spot of piranha fishing or dolphin feeding? The lodge will tailor-make your time here based on weather, timings and your style, and also give you the option to add on any paid-for activities as you wish.
