Travel to Brazil -

Experience Brazil with this 15 Day / 14 Night

Vacation Package and Tour that includes

Rio de Janeiro, Buzios, Salvador, Praia do Forte and

Fernando de Noronha

With this package you will visit 3 of the most exciting and sought after destinations in Brazil: Rio de Janeiro (including Buzios), the magical and exotic state of Bahia (Salvador and Praia do Forte) and the island paradise of Fernando de Noronha.

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. Búzios, once a tranquil fishing village, is home to some of Brazil’s most stunning beaches, exotic boutiques, hip restaurants and bars, and unique architecture, which explains why Brigitte Bardot frequented this destination in the 1960’s and spread the fame of Buzios across the globe.

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.
