Brazil: Carnival, Waterfalls & the Coast 10 days
10 days
Brazil beyond the beach
Take 10 days to experience Brazil at its most exuberant, combining the energy of Rio with the spectacle of Iguazu Falls and a few days beside the sea. In Rio, discover the city’s landmarks and neighbourhoods before stepping into Carnival, from an extravagant gala ball to private tours of the street parties and a privileged view of the Samba Parade. At Iguazu, explore both sides of the falls, with the option to get closer still on a boat ride through the spray. Back in Rio, head along the coast to Búzios, where beach hopping, clear waters, boat trips and watersports provide a more relaxed final few days.
