Wild Brazil

This unique journey encompasses not only the most historic and most vibrant cities in Brazil, Salvador and Rio de Janeiro, but also two of the country's most spectacular natural wonders and the sophisticated resort of Buzios.

The journey begins in one-time capital, Salvador, with its beautifully preserved Portuguese colonial architecture and vibrant atmosphere. Fly on to Chapada Diamantina where you will be overawed by the spectacular landscape of mountains, valleys and sheer cliffs, for which the park is named. Return to Salvador before flying to Manaus for a remarkable 3-night journey aboard a comfortable river vessel through the Amazon rainforest with its astonishing array of flora and fauna. Afterwards, in complete contrast, you visit Rio de Janeiro with its iconic setting, myriad sights and exuberant energy. This memorable journey ends with a few days relaxation on the wonderful beaches of the Buzios Peninsula.
