Overview & Highlights
This varied escorted group journey begins in the exotic bay-side city of Rio de Janeiro and includes the architectural masterpiece that is the capital Brasilia, the wildlife-brimming swamps and pastures of the Pantanal and the Iguazú Falls.
Brazil has an exotic variety of wild life thriving in spectacular natural settings. This journey takes you to a selection of these remarkable places.
The trip begins in Rio de Janeiro, an imposing city clinging to forested mountains and the shoreline of the Atlantic Ocean. From here, head west to view the roaring waters of the Iguazú Falls, where a foaming torrent pours over 275 separate cataracts and walkways lead you through subtropical forest to stunning view points.
Next it's Brasilia, the country’s futuristic capital offers brutalist architecture, a modernist Cathedral and wind-funnelled avenues.
We travel on to the Pantanal wetlands, Latin America's wilderness safari park, and a wonderful place to observe thousands of aquatic, forest and grassland birds as well as a host of exotic mammals, before you head back to Rio for one last caipirinha cocktail and a stroll along Copacabana beach.
