About Your Trip
Get the complete Brazil experience with this itinerary, starting and ending in the country’s two most famous cities. We begin by exploring São Paulo, before heading to coastal paradise Paraty, where we’ll swim, snorkel and 4x4 our way through Paraty Bay. Finally it’s onwards to Rio – watch the sunset from a bar on Sugarloaf Mountain, visit Christ the Redeemer, learn about samba, food and street art, as well as exploring the city’s natural bounties – beaches, botanical gardens and a vast urban forest. After collecting a bucket-load of memories you’ll leave Brazil behind with a fresh tan, a satisfied appetite and some fresh new dance moves. All of our trips are flightless in destination, with 100% of all carbon emissions offset. It's just part of how we see the world while being good to it.

Accommodation
Right in the heart of Jardim Paulista – one of our favourite districts in all of São Paulo – is this sophisticated hotel, perfectly placed for any short stay in the city. The oak brown and light cream palette of the rooms here are simple but sleek, creating a calming oasis amid the hustle and bustle of one of the planet’s largest cities. If you want to take calm to the next level, you can always use the hotel’s Jacuzzi and sauna.
This cosy inn, set within charming old buildings from the 18th and 19th centuries, is brimming with character. From antique beds to a German grand piano and a beautiful old veranda, this place has maintained every ounce of charm from its days as a mansion. The garden area is heavenly, surrounded by greenery and centred around a pool, which also has an accompanying bar. Bliss.
Situated between Ipanema beach and the Copacabana, the Arena does exactly what Rio does – blending urban life with natural splendour. Rooms are simple and sophisticated, the seafront roof terrace has a gorgeous pool overlooking the ocean, while Octavian Restaurant blends Brazilian cuisine with Mediterranean influences to create the perfect seaside menu.
