Pre & Post Tours - Around Brazil
Angra dos Reis (3 days - 2 nights)
  |
Angra dos Reis (The Kings Harbor) is one of the most beautiful places
in Brazil composed by 300 islands of pure beauty and 2,000 beaches
of emerald color. The 90-mile road from Rio to Angra is already
a great scenery, with its winding bends that follow the contour
of the coast. Angra dos Reis is also known for historical monuments,
churches and colonial buildings that remain from Angra’s heyday. The package
includes: |
Buzios (3 days - 2 nights)
  |
It's anyone's guess how small or sleepy the fishing town of Búzios
truly was when French starlet Brigitte Bardot stumbled onto its
sandy beaches in 1964, but it's certain that in the years since
the little town used the publicity to turn itself into Rio's premier
beach resort. In the summer the town is packed; many Carioca celebrities
own places here, and Argentineans continue to invade with a gusto
not seen since the Falklands. Despite the influx, the town has managed
to retain a good deal of the charm of its fishing village past. The package
includes: |
Foz do Iguaçú (3 days - 2 nights) (3 dias - 2 noites)
  |
Iguaçú has been attracting visitors since the first European explorer
stumbled across the area in the 1540s. In the 1930s more than 1
million acres on the Brazilian side were transformed into a national
park, and in 1985 the falls were designated an UNESCO World Heritage
Site. The package
includes: |
Amazônia (3 days - 2 nights) (3 dias - 2 noites)
  |
Manaus lies on the Negro river, 7 km from where it meets the Solimões
river to form the Amazon river. Manaus is the capital of the Amazonas
state and the hub of the entire Amazon Region, with a population
of 1.6 million. The package
includes: |
Salvador (3 days - 2 nights)
  |
A visit to Salvador is a chance to step back in time, to stroll through a perfectly preserved
city from the 16th and 17th centuries. It's a chance to experience Brazil's close connection
to Africa to taste this connection in the food, hear it in the music, see it in the faces
of the people. All of these elements -- architecture, food and music - mix together in Pelourinho,
the restored colonial heart of the city of Salvador. The package includes: |
Ouro Preto (3 days - 2 nights)
  |
Registered as Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO, Ouro Preto is a masterpiece of colonial architecture and stage of the Brazilian Mining Inconfidencia. In its churches and museums are exposed primary baroque works of Athayde and Aleijadinho. The Baroque of Ouro Preto, unlike the coastal cities of the Brazilian Baroque, can be seen as typically Brazilian. Historically, in the course of that century, there were libertarian movements inspired by Enlightenment ideas and the example of the American Revolution, as in Inconfidência Mining. The package
includes: |
Porto de Galinhas (4 days - 3 nights)
  |
The region of Porto de Galinhas boasts more than 10 miles
of white sandy beaches with clear warm water and coconut palms.
Although only 35 miles (40 minutes by car) from Guararapes
International Airport in Recife, the town seems to be far
from city life. There are 7 linked beaches from Camboa to
Maracaípe and its beautiful “Pontal”, taking in Muro Alto,
Cupe and Porto de Galinhas beach. The
package includes: |
The best of South Pantanal
6 days/5 nights Combined Eco Package: 3 nights in Pantanal and 2 nights in Bonito
  |
The Pantanal is the best display of unbounded and undisturbed wildlife in
the Americas, a paradise for wildlife watchers and photographers. Furthermore,
it may come as a surprise to many that, due to the fact that the view is unobstructed
by thick vegetation, it is an even better show than could be expected in the neighboring
Amazon jungle. Some authors say that Pantanal has the richest fauna of the New World, even
compared to Africa's fauna. Whatever your passion, be it fishing, boating, bird watching,
wildlife, horseback riding or hiking - your dreams will be fulfilled in the Pantanal! The package
includes:
Pousada
Aguapé / Pantanal (B, L, D) - GENERAL INFORMATION: |
Pantanal, pure nature
4 days/3 nights Eco Package Pantanal
  |
The largest flood plain in the world, the Pantanal has a rhythm governed by its rivers.
In the wet season (November to April), rivers swell and spill over to cover a vast alluvial
plain for months. Millions of birds are attracted by this aquatic paradise, as mammals take
refuge on the remaining few mounds of dry land. As the water drains (from May onwards), the
land dries up and the situation slowly reverses: Animals congregate around the few remaining
water pools. Fish get trapped in these pools, and birds and mammals alike gather for water and
food as they wait for the rains to start. The package includes:
