Tudo Bem!

This unique journey takes you to discover 2 pearls of Brazil: Rio de Janeiro and Paraty. You start your trip in Rio, a beautiful city lined with dreamy beaches, nestled between the mountains and the ocean. The imprint of its architectural past is revealed through its baroque churches, elegant mansions, lively squares, majestic monuments and picturesque fountains.

This ever-bewitching metropolis is bursting with energy, although its main attraction lies in the temperament of its inhabitants, the cariocas, who exude a laid-back and warm attitude. Soak up the mesmerizing vibe of samba, bossa nova, and the bright sunshine.

Halfway down the road to São Paulo, you'll find yourself in the charming town of Paraty, which, with its colonial pearls and beautiful bay of 65 islands, will make your heart beat faster. Beautiful little churches, islands as far as the eye can see, lush beaches and pristine nature, one thing is certain: you'll never want to leave here.

Highlights of this tour

A journey full of variety

A perfectly balanced 9-day itinerary brimming with experiences. In Rio de Janeiro, visit the Corcovado, the colourful Selarón Steps, and explore the tropical Tijuca Forest by jeep. Continue to Paraty, where one jeep excursion takes you to both the waterfalls and a traditional cachaça distillery, followed by a boat cruise through the bay’s islands. A journey filled with contrasts, discoveries and Brazilian flair.

Experience Rio like a local

Visit the Christ the Redeemer statue and the Selarón Steps with your private guide, travelling by public transport just like the locals. It’s the best way to feel the real heartbeat of Rio – lively, colourful and full of surprises. An authentic encounter with the city’s rhythm and its people.

The jewel of Paraty

Fall under the spell of Paraty, the jewel of Brazil’s Costa Verde. Wander through its cobblestone lanes, admire the whitewashed colonial houses and take in the lush natural surroundings. With its mix of tropical mountains, dreamy beaches and cascading waterfalls, Paraty captures the very essence of Brazil – colourful, vibrant and unforgettable.

Being located in the southern hemisphere, the country experiences rather hot summers that stretch from September to March with temperatures exceeding 30 ° C. The winters, from June to September, are never very cold and the temperatures are rather mild.

Hard to define the best period to travel! It is the fifth largest country in the world. Overall, Brazil can be visited all year but with a preference for the months from June to September. During this period, the temperatures are not too high and you will avoid the rains which can be intense in summer. April, however could be the absolute favorite: the summer rains are gone and temperatures are still warm. The water temperature as well is still very pleasant.
