CARNAVAL and CRUISE
Discovering Brazilian culture and its splendor enriched by migratory currents from the 16th century to the present day: this is the goal of our journey during the Carnaval period, which will begin with the most beautiful worldwide festival in the wonderful city of Rio de Janeiro, which was the capital of the country from 1763 to 1960.
We will also visit the Foz do Iguaçu Falls, the most impressive on our planet, stretching over 7 km at the borders of Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina. And of course the must-see São Paulo, a megacity that has been growing since 1870, which constitutes the largest agglomeration in the Southern Hemisphere.
This first part of the journey will include 2 domestic flights, from Rio de Janeiro to Foz do Iguaçu, then from Foz do Iguaçu to São Paulo. Accommodation in Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo and Foz do Iguaçu will be in high-end 4-star hotels, optimizing travel during this very high tourist season.
The second part of this journey will consist of a luxury cruise, departing from the port of Santos, a 7-day round trip with full board, allowing you to discover the must-see beaches of Búzios, as well as the cities of Salvador and Maceió in the Northeast, in a festive atmosphere with magnificent seascapes during navigation.
