Classic Brazil

An 11-day tour that showcases the best of Brazil’s cultural and natural highlights. Start your Brazil holiday in the iconic city of Rio de Janeiro. With its dramatic setting of undulating mountains covered in lush greenery to the stark expanses of bare rock, this is perhaps one of the most spectacular backdrops in the world. You have a full day to visit the imposing Christ the Redeemer atop Corcovado Mountain, conical Sugar Loaf Mountain and the famous Copacabana Beach for a magical start to your holiday. A short flight south is the magnificent Iguacu Falls, one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. With 275 separate falls over nearly two miles of National Park, they showcase the meeting of Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay. The largest of the falls, the Devil's Throat, is truly breathtaking. From the Atlantic forest at Iguacu, move onto the lush tropical rainforest of the Amazon. Stay for a night in the sprawling city of Manaus before moving on for two nights to an eco-lodge deep within the Amazon Rainforest, experiencing the diversity of flora and fauna in this remote corner of Brazil. Finally, complete your holiday with a stay in the charming, historic city of Salvador. The centre, known as the Pelourinho, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, awash with colourful buildings and cobbled streets. In under two weeks, our Classic Brazil itinerary encompasses all the must-do sites in this diverse country.
