Travel to Brazil -
Experience Brazil with this 15 Day / 14 Night
Vacation Package and Tour that includes
Rio de Janeiro, Salvador, Praia do Forte, Fernando de Noronha and Amazon
With this package you will visit 4 of the most exciting and sought after destinations in Brazil: the city of Rio de Janeiro, the magical and exotic state of Bahia, the island paradise of Fernando de Noronha and the legendary Amazon. o:p>
Brazilians say that God created the world in six days and, on the seventh, he created Rio. This ‘Marvelous City’, with its stunning Pao de Acucar (Sugar Loaf), the impressive Corcovado (the statue of Christ) white sand beaches and green, granite based mountains, must be the most beautiful and exciting city in the world.
Salvador, known for its history, culture and beauty and Praia do Forte, a quaint fisherman village, known for its beaches, restaurants and artisan shops will give you a glimpse of what the state of Bahia has to offer in terms of rich history, culture and unexplored nature.
With crystalline waters and an exuberance of stunning tropical marine life, as well as wonderfully preserved beaches and virtually no pollution, Fernando de Noronha is a paradise for divers, surfers, nature lovers, and anyone wanting to escape to a tropical island. This beautiful and peaceful island is part of a volcanic archipelago of 21 islands which lie 345km (220 miles) off the northeast coast of Brazil.
The Amazon is the world’s largest river basin, and also the planet’s greatest rainforest, within which resides a wealth of life richer than any place else on earth, and millions of species still remain undiscovered. One of the best places to see some of this incredible wildlife is at the Uakari Lodge, situated near the small city of Tefe (1.5 hours SSW by commercial plane from Manaus). You will also visit the city of Manaus, which is famous for its spectacular Opera House (built at the end of the 19th Century), its busy dock area and bustling port market.
