Tour Description

11-Day Private Brazil Tour – Rio, Iguazu Falls, Salvador de Bahia, and Praia do Forte Adventure

1,5 Week Brazil Custom Vacation

Begin your tailor-made Brazil adventure in Rio de Janeiro, the city where tropical landscapes and lively culture meet. Take in the breathtaking panorama from the top of Sugarloaf Mountain, and admire the monumental Christ the Redeemer watching over the city from Corcovado. Relax on the golden sands of Copacabana, Ipanema, and Leblon, soaking up both sunshine and the city’s vibrant energy. For a taste of wild nature, set off on a Jeep excursion through Tijuca Forest, the largest urban rainforest in the world, with trails leading to waterfalls, lush viewpoints, and hidden corners of greenery right inside the city.

Your journey continues with a flight to the awe-inspiring Iguazu Falls, one of nature’s greatest wonders. Explore the Brazilian and Argentine sides of Iguazu National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Walk the elevated paths that bring you close to the rushing waters, gaze into the roaring Devil’s Throat, and capture sweeping vistas from the Upper and Lower Circuits. Whether from above the cascades or right at their base, every angle of Iguazu is unforgettable.

Next, immerse yourself in the colorful rhythms of Salvador de Bahia, Brazil’s cultural soul. Wander through the lively Pelourinho, its historic heart filled with colonial-era churches, pastel façades, and cobbled streets. Experience the Afro-Brazilian spirit that flows through music, dance, and food. Head out on a schooner cruise across Baía de Todos os Santos, making stops at Frades Island and Itaparica Island. Swim in clear waters, relax on sandy beaches, and enjoy a day surrounded by Bahia’s coastal beauty.

Conclude your tailor-made vacation in the charming seaside town of Praia do Forte. With free time at your own pace, you can unwind on palm-fringed beaches, explore natural tide pools, or visit the Projeto Tamar sea turtle conservation center. This final chapter of your journey is all about leisure, relaxation, and the simple pleasures of Brazil’s coastline.

From Rio’s peaks to Iguazu’s roar, from Salvador’s rhythms to the calm of Praia do Forte — this 11-day journey brings Brazil to life in your own way. Ready to begin? Get in touch with us and let’s plan your adventure.
