The Best of Brazil

Meet your private driver on arrival and transfer to your hotel in Ipanema, Leblon or Copacabana. The remainder of the day is intentionally unstructured, with time to rest or take your first walk along the beachfront promenade.

As evening approaches, join locals at Arpoador, where applauding the sunset has become a beloved daily tradition.

Begin your journey with a relaxed welcome dinner and your first taste of Rio's vibrant culinary scene.

Rise early to reach the summit of Corcovado before the largest crowds arrive and take in one of the world's most spectacular urban panoramas.

Continue into the lush Atlantic rainforest, following winding mountain roads past waterfalls and scenic overlooks.

Visit the elegant historic mansion and tropical gardens of Parque Lage before an afternoon at leisure in Ipanema or Leblon.

Explore the grand architecture and storied streets of the city center, where different chapters of Brazil's past meet contemporary Rio.

Continue through the colorful Selarón Steps to Santa Teresa, browsing independent galleries, artisan studios and cafés while enjoying sweeping views over the city.

Choose an optional evening shaped around live samba, bossa nova or another expression of Rio's rich musical culture.

Visit one of Rio's pioneering community tourism initiatives and learn about its history, transformation and vibrant local culture while taking in extraordinary panoramic views.

Slow down and embrace Rio's relaxed beach lifestyle with time at Ipanema.

Ascend by cable car for an unforgettable sunset overlooking Guanabara Bay, the Atlantic Ocean and Rio's dramatic mountain skyline.

See Rio from an entirely different perspective as its mountains, beaches and historic fortresses unfold from the water. Relax onboard and swim if conditions allow.

Choose between hang gliding over São Conrado, a Brazilian cooking class, contemporary art museums, an architecture and design tour, a favela social project experience or shopping in Leblon.

Celebrate your last evening in the city at one of Rio's finest restaurants.

After breakfast, transfer privately to the airport for your flight to Porto Seguro.

Travel along the coast to Trancoso, check into your boutique hotel and enjoy a relaxed afternoon by the sea.

As night falls, wander among colorful colonial houses, boutique shops and candlelit restaurants beneath the trees of the Quadrado.

Wake naturally, walk to the beach, spend hours beneath coconut palms and linger over lunch overlooking the ocean.

Optional experiences include a couples' spa treatment, private yoga, horseback riding along the beach, a surf lesson, a beach picnic or a bicycle tour through Trancoso.

Return to the Quadrado for an unhurried evening in one of Bahia's most enchanting settings.

Choose Praia do Espelho for dramatic cliffs and crystal-clear natural pools, or Caraíva for a charming riverside village where sandy streets replace cars and life moves at an entirely different pace.

Enjoy a leisurely seaside lunch and time to take in Bahia's spectacular coastline before returning to Trancoso in the late afternoon.

Return to your favorite beach, book a private boat excursion, relax by the pool or simply embrace the village's wonderfully unhurried rhythm.

Gather one final time beneath the lanterns for a memorable farewell dinner and a last evening in Trancoso.

Following breakfast, travel by private vehicle to Porto Seguro Airport for your onward journey.

Leave with the energy of Rio, the tranquility of Bahia and the feeling that this remarkable country still has countless stories waiting to be discovered.
