Itinerary
Set foot in the biggest city in South America: São Paulo! Stop by your hotel to check-in and drop off your bags, then go exploring! This modernized and industrial, cosmopolitan city offers wide avenues, skyscrapers, residential suburbs, a busy nightlife, and lavish shopping possibilities. Pick out a place to shop, sight-see, or grab dinner for the night!
Enjoy a Brazilian buffet breakfast that offers the staples of the area, like coffee, cornmeal, toast, cheese puffs and more, before heading out on a half-day tour of downtown São Paulo.
You can return to your hotel for a break after the tour, or you migh...
Enjoy breakfast before embarking via car to your next destination: Paraty. This coastal city is sure to please, with everything from city-life to lush forest and waterfalls
Enjoy breakfast before setting out on a 6-hour jeep tour through the Gold Trail and waterfalls that lie hidden throughout the area. Visit cachaca distilleries as well.
If the day hasn't worn you out, you can explore Paraty's town, picking out the best bars and pubs to join in with its colorful nightlife, or you can simply lounge and enjoy the beach.
Today is a day for your own exploration. You can rent a kayak and row over to explore the Jabaquara Mangroves, roam over the stunning Saco do Mamangua, or browse through Praia Grande, a large and bustling fishing market where the day's freshest catches are all up for sale amidst a cluttering of pubs ripe with adventure.
Make sure your belongings are together before grabbing breakfast, because you'll be departing for Rio de Janerio today!
If you're looking to unwind before your big adventure tomorrow, you can check out the lovely Ipanema Beach and relax, or you can get right into the nightlife and join the festivities usually going on at Lapa.
Set out today on a journey through the Tijuca Forest, up Corcovado Mountain, to the peak of Sugar Loaf Mountain.
Continue on to Flamengo Park all the way to downtown, where you'll have the opportunity to explore attractions like the National Library, Saint Sebastian Cathedral, Candelaria Church, the Fine Arts Museum, and more.
Today is yours to spend at leisure. You can return to downtown and shop in the many stores, find excellent restaurants for a bite to eat, lounge along the sun-soaked beaches, or maybe explore attractions nearby, like the Jardin Botanico.
Pack your bags, tuck away your souvenirs, and head out to the airport. Wave goodbye to Brazil...for now!
