Travel itinerary
We will meet you at the airport. Transfer from the airport to the Copacabana Palace Belmond Hotel 5*. We will check into the hotel and have a good rest. We will meet at the hotel lobby to get acquainted with the group and the tour leader over a glass of Caipirinha. Later, we will take a ride to one of the main sightseeing attractions - to the statue of Christ the Redeemer.
City of carnivals, party city, world wonder, a city that inspires and stays in your heart forever!
We will meet you at the Rio de Janeiro International Airport. We will cool down with a sip of lemonade and off we go to the hotel. We will be staying at the Belmond hotel chain.
A sip of chilled Caipirinha and we are off to the famous statue of Christ the Redeemer!
So much has been written about it, so many words spoken and so many photos taken. However, once you see the statue with your own eyes, you will realise that this grandeur is utterly impossible to describe with words.
In such places, you begin to admire the capabilities of human beings!
Things we are capable of!
Today we will be circling above Rio in helicopters and after the flight will go to one of the most magnificent Botanical gardens in the world, which has approximately 900 different kinds of palm trees. We will taste Brazilian dishes over lunch. After lunch we will return to our hotel.
Bom dia!
This means “good morning” in Portuguese. This language is pure music to our ears!
Today we will take a helicopter ride above fabulous Rio and will see its contrasts: poverty-stricken favelas, fancy beaches and amazing landscapes.
A couple of days ago we were packing our suitcases in anticipation of an unforgettable Brazilian holiday. And now we are circling above the city and trying to hold our phone with trembling hands to capture this beauty.
Rio is covered in pink haze, which makes it more languishing and romantic.
We land, catch our breath and off we go to the Botanical garden. Why do we love Southern countries? For their palm trees, of course! There are more than 900 varieties here!
We will have a delicious lunch, taste local cuisine dishes and go back to our hotel.
A fun city tour awaits us: we will take photos at the Selaron Steps, visit the Metropolitan Cathedral of Rio de Janeiro and ascend the Sugarloaf Mountain. Dinner will be at a trendy bar.
Indeed, a good Brazilian morning starts with a cup of aromatic coffee!
Brazilian coffee with its amazing soft nutty taste, gentle, very subtle acidity and chocolate flavour.
Today we will be conquering the Selaron Steps – true madness! Chilean artist Jorge Selarón decorated 125 meters of steps by hand. To do this, he brought more than 2000 bright mosaic tiles from different parts of the world. This is the largest work of art under open skies in the world, created by a single person!
Let’s pop into the Metropolitan Cathedral (aka Saint Sebastian Cathedral).
The Cathedral resembles a Maya pyramid or a skyscraper, or an industrial cooling tower. Anything, but a Cathedral.
The cathedral features four massive windows on its facade, each spanning 64 meters and decorated with colourful mosaics (almost the size of the entire cathedral!) On sunny days, there are thousands of sun rays all around the cathedral! A truly magical atmosphere!
We farewell the sun on top of the Sugarloaf Mountain. It indeed looks like a lump of sugar (brown cane sugar, of course!)
Today we have dinner at a trendy bar. According to the locals, it is here, where they make the best Caipirinha.
Let’s check it out!
We will be going to the mountains to see the Emperor’s summer house. We will see an ex-casino hotel Quitandinha Palace as well as the Crystal Palace, will pop in for a pint to the oldest Brazilian brewery and will visit the Valley of Love, where the Buddhist mountain temple is located.
Let’s put away our flip-flops and pareos and take out linen pants as we are off to the summer house in the mountains.
Sounds unusual, right?
In the past, Petropolis was the place where the Brazilian imperial family would spend their summer holidays.
The mountain road passes through the Serra dos Orgaos National Park. It is such a pleasure to travel here.
Look left – feast for the eyes!
Look right – feast for the eyes too!
As true tourists, we begin our visit to the Imperial grounds with the Quitandinha Palace (previously a hotel and a casino, which looks like a German gingerbread house), we continue to the Crystal Palace (where the Emperor’s family welcomed their guests) and finish off with a pint of beer at a local brewery.
This is the oldest (!) brewery in Brazil.
After this, we divert from the typical tourist itinerary and will go to a place, where the Uber doesn’t go to. Don’t panic, it is safe. More than you think…
Our next stop is the Valley of Love, where eastern gardens, Hinduism, Buddhism and Christianity co-exist in true harmony.
We are back at the hotel to enjoy colourful dreams.
Today is your day to relax: unwind at the Copacabana beach, visit shops or enjoy the spa at the hotel. A guided tour to the favelas may be arranged upon request.
We have become familiar with this city.
That’s why it will be so pleasant to spend some quality time on our own: go for a swim, visit museums and markets, purchase a colourful pareo and souvenirs, take a samba class or go to a football match.
After breakfast we will be going to the airport to take a flight to Foz do Iguaçu. We will check into Hotel das Cataratas, A Belmond Hotel 5*. After lunch we will take a walk to the waterfall and from a high bridge will see the largest fall known as the “Devil’s Throat”.
Are you ready to be amazed?
We will fly to Foz do Iguaçu. We will check into a luxurious hotel, which is overlooking… ONE OF THE SEVEN WONDERS OF THE WORLD!
Iguazu Falls consist of more than 200 (!) cascade waterfalls. We begin our trip on the Brazilian side of the park (there is also an Argentinean one). From a high bridge above the waterfalls we will see the largest fall known as the “Devil’s Throat”.
We will spend the evening at our luxurious hotel enjoying the moment!
Today we will approach the waterfall on floating boats, see the “Devil’s Throat” from the base of the falls, be amazed by the Three Musketeers Falls, have a picnic with a view of Iguazu Falls and visit a bird garden that is a sanctuary to numerous cute feathered friends.
