Combine a visit to Rio de Janeiro with a stay in Paraty for this unique new offering we call Journey to Brazil. Rio, one of Brazil’s most vibrant urban destinations, entices travelers with its many appealing characteristics: the natural raw beauty of its jagged coastline, picture perfect beaches, and passionate musical nightlife. Latin Excursions recommends spending a few days exploring lively Rio de Janeiro, with some time unwinding in historical Paraty.
This journey introduces visitors to the heart of Rio life. Along with the must-see attractions of the city’s iconic sites, personal guides will introduce travelers to behind-the- scenes side of Rio’s charm with visits to the most intriguing neighborhoods, local artists workshops and museums, thriving samba nightlife, and other areas of interest. There will be plenty of time to experience one of Brazil’s national pastimes: enjoying the beach and strolling the Ipananema Promenade.
After your visit to Rio we take you to Paraty. Located just two hours south of Rio, Paraty makes you feel as though you’ve been taken back in time. This colonial town was settled in the 17th century and still keeps its small town feel with cobble-stone streets and year-round cultural events. The town is surrounded by lush tropical forests, with hidden waterfalls easily visited by private 4×4 explorations. The pristine beaches dotted along the Bay of Ilha Grande coastline makes it a perfect destination for outdoor water sports.
