10 Day Rio, Falls & The Amazon
10 Day Rio, Falls & The Amazon
Three things come to mind when one conjures an image of Brazil; the adrenaline pulse of world-famous coastal cities, thundering natural wonders, and small estuaries cutting their way through dense tropical forest. On this trip you will see the true highlights of Rio, Iguassu Falls, and the Amazon jungle.
Rio is your first stop, and a veritable melting pot of European, African and South American history. Walk your way through the social, political and cultural past, and gaze upon modern icons, all with the insight of an expert private guide. Pyramid shaped cathedrals, “Belle Epoque” restaurants, lively boulevard-lined beaches, unparalleled nightlife; you’ll want to take advantage of every minute in Rio de Janeiro.
Be camera-ready as you first approach the falls, where dense vegetation parts to reveal gushing Tarza’s waterfall and pristine swimming holes. Tour both the Argentine and Brazilian sides of Iguassu, and understand why this site is on many a must-see list.
Finally head inland to your remote, stilted jungle lodge. Set amongst pristine rainforest, far away from the buzz of Rio, and the roar of Iguassu, you will find a quiet place populated only by wildlife, and abundant nature. Sunrise canoeing, village hikes, jungle picnics, piranha fishing, alligator spotting, tree climbing, any number of once-in-a-lifetime activities await.

Exhilarating Rio de Janeiro, the vibrant South American destination and cultural capital, abounds with iconic landmarks, beaches, and attractions. Christ the Redeemer, the hundred-foot mosaic statue atop Corcovado Mountain, overlooks the glittering coastline and is instantly recognizable, having become an enduring symbol of the city itself. Its arms stretching wide, the prominent figure beckons you to explore this inviting locale. A visit to Rio won’t be complete without a day spent sunbathing on one of its many local beaches. Copacabana Beach and Ipanema Beach, legendary seaside getaways with white sands and brilliant blue waves, attract millions of visitors each year, but an hour-long trek to the west will bring you to the secluded beauty of Prainha Beach, equally worth admiration. Aside from the crowded beaches, Rio de Janeiro has plenty of serene natural beauty and ecological marvels. Venture west of Rio to immerse yourself in the lush rainforests, waterfalls, and biodiverse wildlife of the Parque Nacional da Tijuca, a verdant paradise for those who love hiking, bird-watching, or rock-climbing excursions! Northeast of Copacabana Beach lies Pão de Açucar, or Sugarloaf Mountain, accessible by a short tram ride to its peak and providing spectacular views of the bustling city. Rio de Janeiro boasts thrilling nightlife, mouthwatering delicacies, and internationally renowned football teams. Dance clubs and bars, offering some of the best cocktails and live music in South America, line the city’s streets, particularly in the popular Lapa neighborhood. Staple street foods include savory churrasco, a Portuguese-style steak, fresh seafood dishes like moqueca, a fish stew, or pão de queijo, warm rolls of cheese bread. International soccer enthusiasts will enjoy touring the Maracanã Stadium, Brazil’s premier football stadium, which can hold up to 80,000 cheering fans per match. Travel to Rio in February for the city’s infamous Carnival, a four-day festival where the streets are filled with samba dancing, parade floats, and brilliantly hued costumes. This colorful city will excite the eye and capture the senses! |
