Detailed Itinerary
Day 1-3: Paraty
Transfer directly from Sao Paolo or Rio airport to the seaside gem of Paraty. Take a walking tour of the cobblestone colonial streets, kayak in the bay to nearby mangrove forests, and take a private jeep tour to explore the walking trails and waterfalls of the Atlantic Forest. We can also visit a traditional cachaca distillery, for a taste (literally) of Paraty’s cultural heritage.
Accommodation: 3 nights at Pousada Do OurCapybara
Day 4-9: Ilha Grande
We continue along the Green Coast to the beach paradise of Ilha Grande, accessed by speedboat from the mainland. Staying at an idyllic beachfront hotel, your time here includes private guided hikes to Lopes Mendes Beach (regarded by many as the most beautiful in Brazil), the dramatic Pico do Papagaio viewpoint, a boat tour to the postcard-worthy Blue Lagoon, and a traditional Polynesian Canoe excursion. There is also plenty of time to relax and simply enjoy the world-class jungle, sand and sea views.
Accommodation: 6 nights at Bonito Paraiso
Day 10-13: Rio de Janeiro
No trip to the Brazilian coast would be complete without a stay in the world’s most beautifully-positioned city. We suggest 4 nights minimum to include Corcovado (for the Statue of Christ The Redeemer) and Sugarloaf Mountain, a hike up through Tijuca Rainforest to an alternative view of the city, an evening experiencing Rio’s famous nightlife (with our friendly local guide), and time at leisure to relax on the world-famous beaches of Ipanema and Copacabana.
Accommodation: 4 nights at Arena Ipanema
