Wonders of Brazil

Travel by van to Paraty. Opt to visit a cachaça distillery or take a boat to some of the nearby islands and beaches.

Wander the cobblestoned streets, take a boat trip to the nearby islands in the bay, or visit one of the many white-sand beaches that make Brazil famous.

Enjoy the slow pace of the small town of Paraty, a colonial town with fantastic architecture, lush tropical forest, and nearby beaches. Opt to take a caipirinha boat trip, a boat tour, kayaking, horseback riding, or take a 4x4 tour.

With Paraty's stone streets and colonial architecture still standing, the town has some of the best examples of Portuguese colonial architecture in the world. The town is currently on UNESCO's tentative list to gain World Heritage Centre status. To preserve the historical ambience and walkability of the historic centre, only bicycle and pedestrian traffic are allowed in the area.

Fly to Iguassu Falls for two full days of exploration from both the Argentine and Brazilian sides.

Visit the Brazilian side of the falls to get the best panoramic view. Opt to visit the bird park filled with beautifully coloured local wildlife or enjoy an optional helicopter ride for a birds-eye view of the falls.

Climb aboard, grab a seat, and enjoy the ride from Foz do Iguaçu to Bonito.

Spend time in Bonito with optional activities available like snorkelling in the crystal-clear rivers or exploring the nearby caves and waterfalls.

The Pantanal, a largely flat, wetland area about half the size of France, is still one of the best places on the continent for observing wildlife. The area is rich in bird life, including beautiful and colourful macaws and Jabiru storks. With luck and appropriate weather you may spot capivara (capybara), howler monkeys, caiman, giant river otters, anacondas, and anteaters.

Transfer to Campo Grande and fly back to Rio before arriving to the centrally located hotel in Copacabana.
