Discovering Rio
Show maps

We dedicate this first official day of the trip to the discovery of Rio: with our local guide, we explore the Rio Cathedral, the Selaròn staircase and, of course, we cannot miss Christ the Redeemer , one of the seven wonders of the modern world. We finish with the dizzying Bondinho cable car, thanks to which we reach the Pão de Açùcar , the emblematic mountain of Rio made of granite and quartzite, from where we can enjoy a sublime panorama which will be even more fascinating at sunset . On the other side, the majestic Copacabana beach and on the other, the center of Rio de Janeiro. The spectacular panorama is the undisputed merit of this city. We spend the evening in the most famous clubs and bars in Rio.

Included: overnight stay with breakfast, visit to Rio with entrance fees and lunch included (drinks and desserts at participants' expense)

Optical effects

The trick is there but you don't see it. What are we talking about! Not far from Rio lives a very famous Instagram star... he's not really a star but rather a rock : the Pedra do Telégrafo is in fact famous on social media for its magnificent view and for the pleasure of fooling his friends and his family with the optical illusion . Indeed, depending on the angle from which the photo is taken, we have the impression that the person is hanging from the rock and that they will fall at any moment. We're ready to take that epic photo! But the photo must be deserved: to get to this famous rock, which requires a bit of trekking - we assure you that the view is worth it.

Dream beaches

From there, we can decide on the next beach to visit. From Praia do Grumari (beach - let's start learning Brazilian Portuguese) and Praia Prainha to the small coves, you are spoiled for choice, and what's more, after the climb, there is the descent... and the sea!

Included: overnight stay with breakfast, transfer from and to Praia do Grumari/Prainha

Money pot: possible activities and transport

Beach parties

It's the dawn of a new year and, let's face it, we've been waiting for this moment all our lives : finally, after years of anxiety and stress, we know how to answer the dreaded question "But what what are you doing for New Year’s Eve?” with "we're going to a party on the beach, in Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro... and you?". It will be a crazy night to celebrate the arrival of the new year, with your feet in the sand and a caipirinha in your hand - besides, the drinks are unlimited!

Relaxation and free time
Show maps

The next day is, of course, dedicated to total relaxation , while the third and fourth days we will have the opportunity to make excursions to the beautiful beaches of Arraial do Cabo : this is an optional option , but which definitely worth it ! With our coordinator and our travel buddies, we can personalize these days according to our interests and decide together which optional activities we want to add to this magnificent adventure.

Included: overnight stay with breakfast and New Year's Eve evening with buffet and unlimited drinks

Fly to Iguazú

We wake up early and set off to discover this fantastic country ! We take a flight from Rio de Janeiro to Iguazu Falls, one of the 7 wonders of the natural world . There are no less than 275 waterfalls with heights of up to 80 meters , extending over 2.7 km and with a flow rate of 1.8 million liters of water per second . A crazy scenario that is difficult to describe.

Iguazú on the Brazilian side
Show maps

Iguazú Falls is accessible from three different countries: Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay. Upon arrival , we will have lunch with a unique view of the falls , while in the afternoon we will visit the Brazilian side on an excursion that will last approximately 4 hours. We're ready to get wet, aren't we?

Iguazú and the Argentinian side
Show maps

The adventure does not stop there ! A spectacular and fun inflatable boat ride awaits you, allowing you to see the waterfalls from a different point of view. Only clothing required: swimsuit and life jacket. The great adventure begins when you go up the river with increasingly strong waves as you approach the falls. We will take a small train through nature which will lead to the Garganta del Diablo (Devil's Throat) where all the power of the falls is unleashed and which is often described as an ocean disappearing into an abyss. We will then go back down to go around the island of San Martin and pass under the Salto San Martin waterfall . An experience not to be missed and full of adrenaline.

Included: overnight stay with breakfast, lunch (drinks not included)

Money pot: boat trip to Iguazu Falls (Argentinian side). Other possible activities and transport

Not included: meals and drinks

Relaxing on the beach

We return to Rio and take advantage of this day to relax. Ipanema, one of the city's most beautiful beaches, reflects the diversity of Carioca society, with its wide tree-lined boulevards and open-air bars where the samba beat never lets up. At dinner, however, it will be time to relive all our past adventures together and indulge in one last night of partying in true Brazilian style - there's no going back.

Included: overnight stay with breakfast and domestic flight from Iguazú to Rio, 2 transfers from and to the airport
