ABOUT THE TRIP
This trip is the perfect balance of big city drive, nature magic and relaxation: we will celebrate the New Year on the legendary Copacabana among millions of lights, climb to Christ the Redeemer, take a look at the real life of Rio in the favelas, and then escape from the hustle and bustle to the paradise island of Ilha Grande with turquoise water, wild beaches. Add to this the colonial charm of Paraty, the rhythm of the metropolis of São Paulo and one of the natural wonders of the world - Iguazu Falls, which we will see from both sides.
IMPORTANT: the travel program may change depending on weather conditions, the participants’ condition, and other circumstances at the discretion of the tour guide. If you plan to arrive or depart a day earlier or later, accommodation and transfers are paid additionally.
OUR itinerary
DAY 1. Arrival in Rio
After arriving in Rio de Janeiro, we check into a hotel near Ipanema or Leblon — comfortable and safe. The first steps in Rio are street noise, heat, palm trees and skyscrapers in the embrace of the mountains, and in the evening — a caipirinha with a view of Copacabana.
DAY 2. Contrasts of Rio
Today we discover Rio from a different, more authentic side - we go on a tour of the favelas with a local guide. We will see how the city lives beyond postcards: bright murals, children playing soccer against breathtaking panoramas, stories of strength, community and survival. The tour is completely safe, conducted by experienced guides who live here themselves.
DAY 3. Rhythm of the big city
Morning - in the clouds above the city near the statue of Christ. Afternoon - the Rio Botanical Garden: bamboo alleys, parrots and capuchin monkeys.. And in the evening - preparation for the loudest night of the year. New Year's Copacabana - the sea, music, white clothes, millions of lights and a wave of desires.
DAY 4. New Year
We wake up late. In the morning — something cold, bright, fruity. Empty beaches, watermelons on the shore, a slight euphoria from the previous night. In the afternoon — small street markets, buying souvenirs, or just contemplating city life.
DAY 5. Ocean, peace and tropics
In the morning we leave Rio - in two hours we reach the port by transfer, from where we set off by boat to the island of Ilha Grande. This is a day when everything slows down. The water turns turquoise, palm trees lean towards the sand, and instead of cars - only boats and silence. We settle in a guesthouse on the beach, walk barefoot, breathe in the salt air. In the evening - dinner under the stars, the sounds of the jungle and the peace that was so lacking.
ДЕНЬ 6. Вільний день
День, коли можна нікуди не поспішати, а просто насолодитися спокійним відпочинком. День гедоніста!
ДЕНЬ 7. День на краю мапи
Today is a complete reboot. We go by boat to explore wild beaches - bays with clear water and white sand, inaccessible from land. We swim, snorkel among corals and fish, then have lunch on the beach, after which we fall asleep to the sound of the waves. In the evening - a walk through the evening village, street music and a slight euphoria from the fact that we are here.
ДЕНЬ 8. Повернення в Ріо, переліт до Ігуасу
Ще один повільний ранок біля океану: кава на пляжі, останнє купання і човен назад до великої землі.
Після чого на нас чекатиме трансфер в Аеропорт Ріо, звідки ми вилітаємо до Ігуасу. Прямо з аеропорту вирушаємо до національного парку. Сьогодні — бразильська сторона: звідси відкриваються панорамні види на весь каскад. Йдемо стежкою вздовж урвища, підходимо до оглядових майданчиків і, якщо пощастить, стоїмо біля веселки просто над водоспадом.
ДЕНЬ 9. Ігуасу: аргентинська сторона водоспаду
Сьогодні ми опинемось в Аргентині, тому перетинаємо кордон і досліджуємо аргентинську сторону — вона ближча до води, з пішохідними містками та платформами над самими потоками.
За бажанням можна поплавати на моторному човні просто під струменями Ігуасу (оплачується додатково) — це мокрий, але дуже драйвовий досвід, який дозволяє відчути силу води буквально на собі. Для тих, хто хоче спокійніше — відвідування парку врятованих птахів, де тукани, папуги та інші тропічні красені літають навколо у напівдикому просторі.
ДЕНЬ 10. Повернення додому
Снідаємо посеред джунглів. Після чого трансфер в Аеропорт. Квитки назад додому можна дивитися з Сао Пауло.
