This Best of Brazil tour combines the metropolis Rio de Janeiro with the amazing waterfalls of Iguassú, the flora and fauna of the Brazilian Amazon and Salvador da Bahia, one of the most fascinating cities bounded by the ocean to the East and by All Saints Bay to the South. The Amazon is an incredibly unique place. It is the world’s largest rain forest and river system, and the most biologically diverse place on Earth. It contains millions of species, most of them still undescribed. Both the Amazon’s forest and freshwater systems are at risk.
Arrival at Rio de Janeiro, without doubt one of the world’s most spectacular metropolises. Stretched between forested mountains and the sparkling Atlantic, it is a city of long golden beaches and an exuberant cultural life.
