16-Day Brazil Tour: Rio, Iguazu, Salvador & the Amazon
Rio, Iguazu, Salvador & the Amazon
16 daysA Tailor-Made 16-Day Brazil Journey From Rio to the Amazon
Presented by Jhimy Sante, Your Local Expert
Experience four very different sides of Brazil in one customizable 16-day journey. Begin with Rio de Janeiro's landmarks, beaches and city life, continue to Iguazu Falls for the Brazilian and Argentine sides, then travel to Salvador da Bahia for Afro-Brazilian culture before finishing in Manaus and the Amazon rainforest.
The itinerary balances major highlights with flexible days in Rio and Salvador, then slows down for a four-night Amazon lodge program that can be adapted from comfortable soft adventure to a more active nature experience.
The Amazon segment stays deliberately flexible. Activities depend on the selected lodge, water level, season and local conditions, so no specific wildlife sighting, community visit, navigation route, meal plan or lodge activity is promised unless the confirmed supplier includes it.
16-Day Brazil Tour Itinerary
Arrival assistance and transfer to the hotel, with free time to rest or enjoy Rio's beachfront.
Visit Christ the Redeemer and selected Rio landmarks with a private guide, combining panoramic views, historic areas and contemporary city life.
Visit Sugarloaf Mountain for panoramic views, followed by a flexible afternoon to explore Rio at your own pace.
Choose Tijuca National Park, art and architecture, gastronomy, beach time or a more active guided experience. One recommended base option is used and the principal alternatives remain optional.
Take an early flight from Rio de Janeiro to Foz do Iguacu. After arrival and transfer, visit the Brazilian side of Iguazu Falls for the panoramic viewpoints, then continue to Parque das Aves before returning to the hotel.
Visit the Argentine side, prioritizing Devil's Throat when accessible and continuing through the Upper Circuit with time for viewpoints and photographs.
Return to the Argentine side for the Lower Circuit and remaining viewpoints, with the option to add a boat or nature experience.
Enjoy a relaxed free day in the Iguazu area. Use the time for rest, independent exploration or an optional duty-free stop when timing permits, then transfer to the airport for the evening flight to Salvador.
Explore Pelourinho, colonial architecture, churches, music and Afro-Brazilian heritage with a specialist guide at a comfortable pace.
Choose a coastal excursion, market and culinary route, cultural workshop or a relaxed beach day. One recommended base option is used and the principal alternatives remain optional.
Fly to Manaus, transfer to the city hotel and enjoy the remainder of the day at leisure before entering the rainforest.
Transfer to the selected Amazon lodge and begin the nature program with a guided introduction to the forest and waterways.
Join lodge activities such as canoe excursions, wildlife observation, forest walks and a respectful community visit, according to local conditions and the confirmed lodge program.
Continue the lodge program with boat-based wildlife observation or more active options such as longer walks and paddling, according to the confirmed lodge operation.
Enjoy an additional lodge activity, slower wildlife program, canoeing, forest interpretation or time to relax.
Return to Manaus and continue to the airport for the onward or international journey via Sao Paulo, Brasilia or another confirmed hub. If the confirmed flight schedule requires an additional overnight, it is quoted separately outside the base package.
