A memorable tour with four stages, four visions and four immersions
These classic Brazilian tours unfold in four stages which take you all over this vast country. Each stage shows a specific characteristic of Brazil.
Two stages concentrate more on the human and cultural dimension, Rio de Janeiro and Salvador de Bahia, while the other two take you to Iguaçu and Manaus where you come face to face with Brazil’s extraordinary nature.
In Iguaçu, you will discover one of the most impressive waterfalls in the world in the heart of a magnificent forest. More than 270 cascades form the Iguaçu waterfalls where the water flows all year round to the amazement and pleasure of its visitors. In this part of Paraná, the border between Brazil and Argentina is naturally created by the river for about 115 kms. The falls can therefore be visited from both countries to get two very different views of this spectacular natural wonder.
Rio de Janeiro is a town which visitors fall in love with. A true icon of Brazilian culture, it is brimming with cultural and historic treasures and there are lots of historical quarters and museums to visit. The locals are called the “Cariocas”, and welcome you with their legendary friendliness so you can experience the sweetness of Brazilian life.
Another plus in Rio de Janeiro is the easy access to its exceptional natural environment, the Tijuca forest and the miles of beaches such as Copacabana, Leblon and the mythical Ipanema beach. Rio is a magicical place nestled in unique surroundings of rounded mountains and green valleys. Known as the Wonderful City, Rio is a Must see destination if you come to Brazil.
Another obligation in a Must see tour of Brazil is Salvador de Bahia. This coastal town was the first capital of Brazil and therefore has a remarkable historical and architectural heritage. It’s here that most of the African slaves arrived in Brazil and where their descendants made their home after slavery was abolished at the end of the 19th century.
These displaced men and women managed to keep certain traditions alive which, evolving with the ages, have created the unique afro-Brazilian culture. It’s this rich history which comes out in the colours, joy and exuberance that we want you to discover while staying in one of the most beautiful towns in Brazil.
Manaus is an implacable demonstration of the power of human will to accomplish unusual things. This city was built in the very heart of the Amazonian jungle, one of the most difficult places to reach in the world. Its builders accomplished the extraordinary feat of building one of the most beautiful theatres in Latin America at the time when the city was rich from the exploitation of rubber. Visiting this city which is continually fighting off the domineering forest surrounding it will take you back to the days of the pioneers and its many parks will reveal the magnificent local flora and fauna.
For a total immersion experience, we suggest you spend a few nights in a lodge hidden in the depths of this gigantic tropical forest. You will stay in charming bungalows made with local materials and mounted on stilts in the middle of the jungle which offer ideal conditions to observe the surroundings while enjoying the comfortable facilities. You will discover this forest which is half on land and half on water with native guides who will pass on a little of their knowledge and their passion for this extraordinary place. This is an essential step in discovering the ecosystem that occupies almost half of Brazil.
