Itinerary
Giorno 1 — Rio de Janeiro
Arrival at Rio de Janeiro. Rio de Janeiro unfolds along a jagged coastline where mountains cloaked in Atlantic rainforest plunge straight into the ocean, in one of the most spectacular urban settings on Earth. The "Cidade Maravilhosa" thrives on the contrast between the rhythm of its beaches and the grandeur of its geography. Its symbolic heart is Corcovado, crowned by the statue of Christ the Redeemer (Cristo Redentor) watching over the city with open arms, while the Pão de Açúcar (Sugarloaf Mountain) is reached by cable car for a sweeping view across Guanabara Bay. At its feet stretch the famous beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema, with their wave-patterned Portuguese mosaic promenades, kiosks, beach football and the unmistakable sunset from Arpoador. The historic centre preserves a colonial and imperial legacy: the Theatro Municipal, the colourful Selarón Steps and the bohemian neighbourhood of Santa Teresa, explored aboard the old tram (bondinho) among artists' studios and period villas. The Jardim Botânico and the urban Tijuca Forest offer lush natural escapes minutes from downtown, while the modern Museu do Amanhã has reshaped the revitalised port. Rio is also a capital of Brazilian popular culture: the samba born in its terreiros, the world's most famous Carnival with its parades at the Sambódromo, and live music in Lapa beneath the arches of the aqueduct. Its cuisine blends feijoada, churrasco, fresh seafood and the ritual of açaí and caipirinha. From here the coastal villages of Búzios and the islands of Angra dos Reis are within easy reach. Rio de Janeiro is not merely visited: it is lived, between sea, mountains and the irrepressible joie de vivre of its carioca people. Welcome upon arrival and transfer to the hotel. The rest of the day available. Dinner free. Accommodation Windsor Plaza Copacabana.

Volo
Giorno 4 — Rio de Janeiro → Iguassu (Foz do Iguaçu - Brasile)
Breakfast. Airport transfer. Flight to Foz do Iguaçu (not included). Foz do Iguaçu lies at Brazil's far western frontier, where the Iguaçu River plunges into one of the planet's most spectacular natural displays. The Cataratas do Iguaçu, more than 270 waterfalls framed by Atlantic rainforest, are admired from the walkways of the Parque Nacional do Iguaçu, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, all the way to the dizzying Garganta do Diabo (Devil's Throat). The Brazilian side offers the sweeping panoramic view of the falls, while nearby the Parque das Aves reveals toucans and macaws among aviaries set in lush vegetation. Not far away, the Itaipu dam stands as a testament to human ingenuity beside nature's raw power, and the meeting point of Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay lends the allure of the triple border. Iguaçu lingers in memory as the roar of water suspended between sky and forest. Welcome upon arrival and transfer to the hotel. Free lunch. In the afternoon visit to lato brasiliano del Parco Nazionale Iguaçu. Return to the hotel. Dinner free. Accommodation Viale Cataratas.
Giorno 5 — Iguassu (Foz do Iguaçu - Brasile)

Volo
Giorno 6 — Iguassu (Foz do Iguaçu - Brasile) → Sao Luis
Breakfast. Flight to Sao Luis (not included). São Luís rises on an island along the coast of Maranhão, in northeastern Brazil, and ranks among the country's most evocative colonial cities. Its historic centre, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, preserves hundreds of mansions clad in Portuguese azulejo tiles, cobbled lanes and shady squares where the local reggae music — which has put down deep roots here — still echoes. Among the pastel façades of the Projeto Reviver, time seems suspended, marked by drumbeats during the Bumba Meu Boi festivals. Maranhense cuisine brings fresh fish, shrimp and the celebrated arroz de cuxá to the table. The gateway to the Lençóis Maranhenses, São Luís blends colonial heritage and tropical warmth in a singular embrace. Welcome upon arrival and transfer to the hotel. Accommodation Blue Tree Tower Sao Luis (Ex Pestana).
Auto
Giorno 7 — Sao Luis → Barreirinhas
Breakfast. Long transfer to Barreirinhas. Barreirinhas stretches along the banks of the Rio Preguiças and is the main gateway to Lençóis Maranhenses National Park, the famous desert of white dunes dotted with turquoise lagoons. From this lively town in Maranhão, four-wheel-drive vehicles cross the sand toward the Lençóis and boats head up the river through mangroves and small fishing villages. River excursions lead to viewpoints, stretches of forest and secluded beaches where the Preguiças meets the ocean, while in the rainy seasons the lagoons fill with water to create one of Brazil's most astonishing landscapes. A hub of services and local life, Barreirinhas offers restaurants, markets and riverside hospitality, serving as a convenient base for exploring one of the country's most captivating natural parks. Barreirinhas is the starting point for a journey through desert, river and sea. Km 260 - hours 4 approximately. Hotel accommodation. In the afternoon visit to “Parque Nacional dos Lençois Maranhenses”. Lunch and dinner free. Return to the hotel. Accommodation Pousada do Buriti.
Giorno 8 — Barreirinhas
Breakfast. Full day tour of fiume Preguiças: Vassouras, Caburé e Mandacaru. Lunch and dinner free. Return to the hotel. Accommodation Pousada do Buriti.
Volo
Giorno 9 — Barreirinhas → Sao Luis → Salvador da Bahìa
Breakfast. Airport transfer. Flight to Salvador (not included). Salvador da Bahìa holds the African soul of Brazil, set on the bay of Todos os Santos along the northeastern coast. The heart of this identity is the Pelourinho, a UNESCO World Heritage historic centre — a maze of cobbled lanes and pastel-coloured mansions crowned by the gold-encrusted Baroque church of São Francisco. The Elevador Lacerda links the upper and lower town, while the drumming of Afro-Brazilian groups such as Olodum sets the rhythm of daily life. The city thrives on capoeira, candomblé and a spiced cuisine of acarajé, moqueca and palm oil. The beaches of Porto da Barra and the lighthouse complete a visit. Salvador unfolds through faith, rhythm and colour, the spiritual capital of an authentic, exhilarating Brazil. Welcome upon arrival and transfer to the hotel. Lunch and dinner free. Accommodation Novotel Salvador Rio Vermelho.
