Detailed Description

From the bustle of city life along the beaches of Rio to the allure of wildlife in the plains of Pantanal, from the feet of Cristo Redentor to the headwaters of the Amazon to the heart of Iguazu Falls, Brazil is a country that is simply begging to be explored. 

This 13-day tour includes experiences and activities that are sure to leave every traveler with the passion of this very famous nation, be they sports enthusiasts or museum goers, city slickers or nature buffs, those who seek to rock the night away or those who spend their days in quiet contemplation of the natural world: whatever your interests, hopes or dreams, you are sure to encounter all of them during this captivating adventure.

Start at Rio de Janeiro, one of the largest cities in the country and known throughout the world for its beautiful scenery, cosmopolitan environments and laid-back lifestyle, where you’ll climb Mount Corcovado and Sugarloaf Mountain to catch glamorous glimpses of the metropolis stretching endlessly below you. Experience the majesty of nature at the ceaseless cascades at Iguazu Falls before setting out for one of the world’s largest wetlands and the breathtaking beauty of Pantanal. Spend three dream-making nights on board a luxury sailing vessel as your cruise the puissant Amazon, and spend your nights searching for some of the region’s most reclusive—and noteworthy—wildlife. 

You’ll be swept up by the salsa along the streets of Rio, the birds that fill the air of the Pantanal, and the roaring that fills your ears as you walk the cataracts of Iguazu; you’ll be struck dumb by a sunrise over the Amazon or a sunset descending on Rio de Janeiro Harbor; and you’ll never forget the sounds of a jaguar in the depths of the rainforest or the pulse of the city late on a weekend. The beaches and floodplains, hills and rivers, the songs and dances and sounds from the native animals all speak to you, beckoning for you to visit: there’s never been a better time to listen to them.
