Tour Description

11-Day Private Brazil Tour – Rio, Iguazu Falls, Paraty, and Ilha Grande Adventure

1,5 Week Brazil Custom Vacation 

Start your private and tailor-made Brazil tour in the iconic city of Rio de Janeiro, where vibrant culture meets stunning natural beauty. Witness a spectacular sunset from Sugarloaf Mountain, and stand in awe at the legendary Christ the Redeemer on Corcovado. Soak up the sun on Rio’s famous beaches — Copacabana, Ipanema, and Leblon — each offering incredible views and local charm.

Add a touch of adventure with a Tijuca Forest Jeep Excursion, exploring lush trails, waterfalls, and panoramic lookouts in the world’s largest urban rainforest. This first leg of your custom journey is the perfect mix of iconic sights and nature.

Next, fly to the mighty Iguazu Falls, one of the world’s most spectacular waterfall systems. Explore both the Brazilian and Argentine sides of Iguazu National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Marvel at the thundering Devil’s Throat, hike the Upper and Lower Circuits, and enjoy sweeping views from walkways over the rushing waters.

Continue your tailor-made trip to the charming town of Paraty, a preserved colonial gem between mountains and sea. Stroll the cobbled streets of the historic center, rich with Portuguese architecture and local artistry.

Cruise through emerald waters on a traditional schooner, stopping at islands like Cotia, Ilha Comprida do Norte, and Cocos. Swim in clear coves such as Preguiça, relax on beaches like Engenho (Mamanguá) and Vermelha, and soak in the laid-back atmosphere. A perfect mix of history, nature, and tranquility.

Conclude your custom Brazil vacation on the pristine island of Ilha Grande. Embark on a Circle Island Boat Tour, visiting secluded beaches and unspoiled nature. Swim in turquoise waters at Aventureiro Beach, unwind at Parnaioca, explore hidden Caxadaço Beach, and snorkel at Meros. Pause at Maguariquessaba Beach for a local lunch and calm bay views. This private island escape is a peaceful and unforgettable finale to your journey.

At Latin Discoveries, we don’t just plan vacations — we create personalized journeys that mirror your interests, rhythm, and curiosity. From exploring lush rainforests and iconic landmarks to sailing between hidden beaches and strolling through timeless towns, this 11-day custom Brazil tour is designed to connect you with the heart of the country in your own unique way.
