Rhythms of Brazil Vacation
Rio de Janeiro to Sao Paulo

9 days priced from $4125

Brazil covers over half the area of South America and is home to some of its most spectacular geography. This journey begins in Rio de Janeiro, set on a natural bay surrounded by mountains, forests and golden beaches. From here you journey to Salvador, the first major port and the capital of colonial Brazil for almost two centuries. At Manaus, a stunning neoclassic city in the heart of the Brazilian Amazon, you’ll embark on an unforgettable river experience.

Explore Etnia Pousada
Trancoso to Trancoso

Imagine a small Jesuit-founded Brazilian fishing village, still holding on to some of its laid-back 1970's hippie influence and with enough touches of luxury and style to make it practically irresistible. This is Etnia Pousda in Trancoso. From its individually decorated cottages to its expansive pool and open-air lounge, one could easily not go anywhere at all. A coastline of long sandy beaches, tropical rainforest exploring and a romantic dinner in the nearby town square, will make this a truly memorable escape.

 

Savory Salvador
Salvador to Salvador
4 days priced from $1425

The capital of the State of Bahia, Salvador was also Brazil’s capital until 1763. The lower city at sea level contains the old port and the commercial area. This area is also the best place to see a demonstration of capoeira, a martial art developed by African slaves in Brazil, originally as a form of combat, and later, as a type of dance and folklore tradition. The upper city can be reached by stone steps, alleyways or the famous Lacerda Elevator. Immerse yourself in the city's history, then tour outlying areas to truly get a taste of a bygone era.
