ITINERARY

Day 1: DEPART FROM LONDON - ARRIVE RIO DE JANEIRO

Depart from London to Rio De Janeiro. Arrival at the airport and transfer to the hotel. The spectacular beauty of Rio is compelling. This glamorous metropolis is kissed by the sun, scalloped by gorgeous wide beaches, and dotted with dramatic mountains. Yet its history marked it not as a playground but as an important port for the shipment of gold, gemstones, and coffee- and as a seat of colonial power. Rio's beaches define its culture: vibrant, joyful, beautiful, and every beach has its own flavour: from Copacabana with its volleyball nets and outdoor cafés to the seductive Ipanema; from São Conrado with its hang gliders to the hip, expensive Barra da Tijuca.

The irregular cobblestone streets are closed to motor vehicles, making it a delightful place to stroll about. Elegant white buildings adorned with fanciful multi-hued borders and latticed windows blend harmoniously with the natural beauty that envelops the town. Dozens of pristine beaches are within a couple of hours of Paraty by boat or bus, while inland, the Parque Nacional da Serra da Bocaina provides protection for a lush remnant of Mata Atlântica (Atlantic rainforest). The Brazilian government has recognized Paraty as a National Historic Site since 1966. Paraty is crowded and lively throughout the summer holidays, brimming with Brazilian and European vacationers. The town’s cosmopolitan flavour is further enhanced by the large number of artists, writers, and chefs, both Brazilian and foreign, who have settled here and opened shops, galleries, and restaurants.
