Experience this with a 3 day stay (2 nights) in the “Cidade Maravilhosa” as it is affectionately known to the locals.
Rio de Janeiro is one of the symbols of Brazil. It is here, between the mythical beaches and steep mountains, that Samba and Bossa Nova were born. This unique landscape was added to the list of UNESCO World heritage sites in 2012 to ensure its conservation.
Rio is firstly a way of life, with its kilometres of beaches touching the largest urban forest in the world; The Tijuca forest. It is an exceptional place, ideal for all sorts of sports and activities. The human body really is considered a temple in Rio with a high percentage of inhabitants placing importance on health and fitness. Ubiquitous throughout the country today, this fitness crazy lifestyle originated on the Ipanema, Leblon and Copacabana beaches.
Culture certainly does not reside in the shadows however, most notable is the Santa Teresa district, where you will find many art galleries and workshops by artists and visual artists from all walks of life. A number of busy museums are also scattered around the city.

Bahia de todos os Santos, The African soul of Brazil
Which is the most delightful, Acarajé with shrimp or the smile of the happy Bahian lady that serves you in the square of Salvador de Bahia?
Salvador de Bahia is the town of 365 churches and was the first capital of Brazil. It is one of the oldest towns in the country. It has kept its history of a glorious past with its magnificent palaces, churches and multicoloured houses lining the cobbled streets of the historic Pelourinho quarter. This district is a rare witness to the colonial past with its rich houses and baroque churches, but also to the slave trade. Salvador de Bahia was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1985.
Anchored on a peninsula at the entrance to a large bay acting like a sentinel, Salvador de Bahia is the birth place of the Afro-Brazilian culture whose happiness is contagious. It is often said the Bahia region stands apart from the rest of the country. The African influence is so strong here that it seems to be an African enclave from across the Atlantic. Capoeira, Candomblé and Batucada are all demonstrations of this warm and tactile culture where cordiality and good humour are everyday standards.
Not to mention the local cuisine and its African influences. Based mainly on sea food, coconut milk and dende, (homemade palm oil), many consider it to be the most delicious cuisine in Brazil.
Lastly, Salvador de Bahia, has a famous carnival with 2 million participants from all over the country, and now the world! For 5 days, trios electricos, or trucks loaded with sound systems and singers perched on the roof parade around town to the sound of samba and axé. The crowds join in, enthusiastically creating an ecstatic atmosphere.
Salvador de Bahia being a real cultural hub of the country is a must See for those discovering Brazil. As much for the history as for the taste buds and the eyes, Salvador should be enjoyed without moderation!
The mighty Amazon rainforest
The Amazon forest is one of the last places not yet totally explored by Man.
The Amazon covers almost half of Brazil. It is the largest reservoir of biodiversity in the world, and 75% of it is still unexplored, a unique environment unfortunately threatened by deforestation.
Whether you stay in a lodge or chose to go on a private cruise along one of the thousands of waterways, the wonder of such an intense explosion of life is instant. It is the biggest tropical forest on our planet crossed by the biggest river in the world, everything is oversized. This includes Manaus, built by explorers and merchants at the confluence between the Amazon and the Rio Negro. The affluence of Manaus declined after the rubber market collapsed, but it has kept some grand architectural souvenirs of this era such as its amazing Amazonas Theatre.
A jungle adventure in a lodge is ideal for those who wish to discover the extraordinary diversity of the flora and fauna in the heart of the jungle. Installed in the centre of the tropical forest, these lodges are ideal observation posts for nature watching. The local guides openly share their knowledge and experience of this unique environment and you come away with a totally new vision of the Amazon Ecosystem. It is also a place to have fun, piranha fishing or canoeing and admire the sublime multicoloured sunsets.
The alternative is to discover Amazonia on a private cruise. Its a region that is underwater for most of the year, so the rivers are the main travel routes. They form a comprehensive network making it easier to discover larger areas and enjoy the calm flow of the river. It’s also the ideal way to observe the pink dolphins and exotic birds flying around the “igarapes,” the many waterways that cut across the Amazon basin. Everyday is totally different which adds to the charm of this package tour, an ideal way to discover Amazonia for the first time.
With its beauty, its uniqueness and its “lost in time” atmosphere , the Amazonia region is definitely a must for those wanting to see the best of Brazil.
Immaculate sand dunes, dream beaches and eternal sunshine
Drive along miles of deserted beaches at the wheel of your buggy or comfortably seated in a 4×4 and take in impressive and little known views. Tempted?
Brazil’s Northeast region is still largely unknown and yet it has some true treasures when it comes to landscapes and historical heritage. This is why, over the years, it has become our flagship product.
To discover the best of this region that covers more than 3500km of coastline, we have created a tour that takes you from the Capital of Ceará: Fortaleza to the Capital of Maranhão: São Luís. An off the beaten track tour that follows the Ceará coastline all the way to Jericoacoara, which is listed among the top 10 most beautiful beaches in the world by the Washington Post. Then on to the Parnaíba delta, a rare river configuration only found elsewhere on the Nile and the Mekong rivers. Finally, the tour arrives at the Lençóis Maranhenses, a unique desert, with its vast dunes dotted with transparent rainwater lagoons. Amazing nature is omnipresent throughout this tour.
Another advantage to this trip between Fortaleza and São Luís, is the sun. It shines constantly for almost 9 months of the year. Only from March to June do you find a few dark clouds in the sky and rainy days are few & far between. So it’s an ideal destination for those wanting to flee the winter and catch up on some sunshine during the end of the year or February vacation periods.
The balance between relaxation, adventure and culture, and the variety and unique character of the many landscapes included on this trip from fully justifies its place on the Highlights Tour.
With these 5 destinations, your vacation will include the main natural and man-made wonders of Brazil.
