Welcome to your luxury trip to Brazil! After arriving at the airport in Rio de Janeiro, you will be comfortably taken to your hotel. Rio welcomes you with lush vegetation, deep blue sea, and white sandy beaches, nestled between mountains and ocean. In the afternoon, you have time to soak in Copacabana and the relaxed lifestyle of the Cariocas. Overnight stay in a selected premium hotel.
Your city trip to Rio de Janeiro starts with a full-day tour of the city's landmarks. You take the cogwheel train through the Tijuca Forest up to Corcovado and stand in front of the famous Christ statue with panoramic views over Rio. Then, the cable car takes you in two stages to Sugarloaf Mountain, high above Guanabara Bay. To welcome you, there is a Caipirinha waiting. Overnight stay in Rio.
Today the day belongs entirely to you. On this luxury round trip through Brazil, you can optionally travel to Petrópolis, the summer residence of the imperial family, visit the Olympic Boulevard with the Museum of Tomorrow, or experience the Carnival atmosphere at the Grande-Rio samba school with a Caipirinha tasting. Or you can simply relax on the beach. Overnight stay in Rio de Janeiro.
After breakfast, you will fly from Rio to Foz do Iguaçu. The highlight of this Iguassu Falls luxury trip awaits you in the afternoon: the Brazilian side of the falls. 275 cascades plunge over a width of about three kilometers into the depths, framed by subtropical rainforest. From the observation platform near the Devil's Throat, you will experience the falls up close, accompanied by spray and rainbows. Overnight in Iguassu.

In the morning, the transfer takes you to Iguassu Airport for your onward flight to Salvador da Bahia.
