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.
