Rio de Janeiro

Lastly, spend three nights in Salvador. Join a guided city tour which will take you through the tree-lined streets to Pelourinho, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with colonial architecture. Stop at São Francisco Church and admire the gold leaf baroque design. The next day, tour a different part of Salvador. The lower city has a slower pace of life where fishermen fish from canoes, and locals collect shellfish at low tide. The tour finishes at the Monserrat district, where you can enjoy scenic views and pick up souvenirs at a thriving market.

Start with two nights at Iguazu Falls. Explore the Brazilian Iguazu National Park on an organised tour, head out on a jeep-towed wagon ride along a three kilometre trail whilst guides explain the local flora and fauna. Then hop off and hike to some waterfalls. If you wish, you can take a refreshing dip in the water. The tour concludes with a boat ride upriver to Devil’s Throat, past canyons and rapids. You can’t come to Iguazu Falls and not see them from Argentina as well, so cross the Tancredo Neves Bridge and board a small train. Jump off and follow the walkways to the top of the waterfalls, a different view compared to the Brazilian side. Next is Rio de Janeiro, where you’ll spend the next three nights. After landing, visit Sugarloaf Mountain and ride the cable car to the top. The next day, a guide will take you to Corcovado Mountain, where you will ride a train to the world wonder, Christ the Redeemer, and take in even more panoramic views. In the afternoon, head to Samba City, also known as Cidade do Samba, where the Rio Carnival floats and costumes are stored. You will also have a free day in Rio - chill out at Copacabana Beach or head to Escadaria Selarón for a unique photo in front of the colourful staircase.
