Brazil Highlights Holiday

Into the jungle mist of Iguazú Falls

Hidden in the lush heart of Iguazú, Las Hotel Boutique Iguazú is your base for the first two nights, with breakfast included. Offering a welcoming escape where modern elegance meets the wild beauty of the rainforest, it is perfect for those seeking a touch of luxury at the edge of one of the world’s greatest natural wonders. After arriving in Foz do Iguaçu, unwind by the pool before meeting your guide for a sunset tour of the Brazilian side of Iguazú Falls!
Day two is spent across the border as you follow walkways on a guided tour of the

Argentine side of Iguazú Falls to experience the thunder of Devil’s Throat!

Looking for more adventure? Add a helicopter ride for aerial views or a speedboat trip that surges beneath the falls. Tailor it your way – ask us about extra nights at Iguazú.

Fly to Manaus and check in for 1 night at Villa Amazônia, with breakfast included. This chic boutique hotel, set in a converted colonial mansion, offers a peaceful haven with a courtyard pool, perfect for transitioning into jungle life.

This afternoon, explore Manaus with your guide, visiting some of the city’s most important landmarks and learning about its fascinating rubber-boom history. Admire the grand Teatro Amazonas, stroll through the historic centre and visit the Rio Negro Palace, the former residence of the governor, before seeing the bustling Floating Port and colourful Mercado Adolpho Lisboa. As night falls, enjoy a caipirinha in the Villa’s garden as your guide shares tales of Manaus’s rubber boom glory days.

Today you will be transferred to stay three nights at Juma Amazon Lodge, with all meals and activities included. This spectacular eco-lodge is built entirely on stilts over the blackwater Juma River, deep in the rainforest. Accessible only by boat or seaplane, it delivers a rare sense of remoteness and connection with nature.
Your thatched stilted bungalow blends rustic charm with comfort. Daily excursions include:

• Canoe rides through flooded forests
• Community visits
• Fishing for piranhas
• Wildlife spotting
• Learning survival skills

Or simply swing in your hammock listening to the sounds of nature.

Tailor it your way: Want more time in the wild? How about adding some time in the Pantanal region to spot jaguars?

Today you will return to Manaus to fly to Rio for your final three nights at Casa Beleza, a charming boutique guesthouse tucked away in the artistic hilltop neighbourhood of Santa Teresa. Set within a former mansion surrounded by tropical gardens, Casa Beleza offers a serene, character-rich base with a pool and locally inspired design. Let us know if you’d prefer to stay by the beach – we can tailor this itinerary to you.

Explore Rio with your private guide: ascend Corcovado to stand beneath Christ the Redeemer, ride the Sugarloaf cable car, and discover the colourful staircases and studios of Santa Teresa. Keen for something unique? Join a community-led favela tour, or glide over the beaches on a hang-glider. By night, Rio pulsates with energy. Dine at a tucked-away seafood bistro, sip caipirinhas at a beach kiosk, or catch live samba in Lapa’s vibrant clubs. Tailor it your way: Extend with a few nights in colonial Paraty or the laid-back beach town of Búzios. We’ll handle the perfect finishing touch.

Travel north along Brazil’s Atlantic coast to Búzios for 3 nights at Casas Brancas Boutique Hotel & Spa, a stylish hillside hideaway overlooking the sea. With individually designed rooms, panoramic views and a relaxed atmosphere, it’s a beautiful place to slow the pace after the energy of Rio.

Spend lazy mornings discovering Búzios’s beautiful beaches and secluded coves, take a boat out along the coast, or simply settle beside the sea with a good book. Stroll the waterfront Orla Bardot promenade into the centre, browse the boutiques and galleries along Rua das Pedras, and linger over fresh seafood as the sun goes down. With more than 20 beaches to choose from, there’s plenty of scope for doing as much or as little as you please.

Enjoy a final leisurely morning in Búzios, perhaps taking one last stroll along the coast or lingering over breakfast with views across the Atlantic. Later, transfer back to Rio de Janeiro for your flight home to the UK, bringing your Brazilian adventure to a close.
