Brazil Highlights Package – Best of Brazil

Overview

Brazil has captivated travelers for over 500 years. White-sand beaches, endless coast line, metropolises, colonial towns, vast jungles, wildlife, history and the list goes on and on as top reasons to visit this amazing country. It may take months even years to experience all of Brazil, but if you are searching for a package to do it in a couple of of weeks our Best of Brazil Highlights Package is for you!

Our Best of Brazil package includes Rio de Janeiro, Iguazu Falls, Salvador & The Brazilian Amazon. You can’t travel to Brazil and not experience Rio de Janeiro. It’s Brazil’s #1 tourist destination and it’s beautiful beaches, amazing landscapes, incredible vibe and friendly locals (Cariocas) will be some of the highlights of your trip.

If you are into nature, you can’t go wrong checking out one of the Wonders of the World – Iguazu Falls. It’s waterfalls are twice as wide and much higher than Niagra falls and only second in size to Africa’s Victoria Falls.

To add some culture and history to your package, we added Salvador, Bahia in the Northeast of Brazil. It’s a city full of history (Brazil’s first capital), afro-American culture, beautiful beaches and great food (try the moqueca de camarao!).

The Amazon Rainforest is one of South America’s most visited destinations and the lungs of the world! Our package includes 1 night in Manaus and a couple of nights in the Brazilian Amazon (you can choose between an Amazon Lodge or Cruise).

Keep in mind that our Best of Brazil Highlights Package is 100% customizable and is offered year round.
