Overview
This Brazil 2 week itinerary will give you just enough time to tick off some highlights of this enormous country.
Our classic itinerary includes an iconic Rio city break where you can take an open-top jeep tour to the Statue of Christ and Sugar Loaf Mountain. Then, you’ll fly over to Iguacu for two days exploring the mighty cascades of Iguazu Falls on the border with Argentina. Next, you’ll fly up to Manaus, the gateway to the Amazon, for lodge stay where you can spot monkeys, tapirs, macaws and jaguars in their jungle habitat.
Finally, no trip to Brazil would be complete without the beach – so you’ll fly over to the golden sands and crystal-clear waters of the area around Fortaleza for a beach break on the northeast coast. From cities to nature, to wildlife - this trip packs in all the highlights into one trip!
