Day 1 – Welcome to Brazil

Arrival in Rio and airport reception with private transfer to beachfront hotel, with views over the water. After getting settled there’s nothing better than a long walk along Ipanema Beach to get acquainted with this beautiful city. From there explore the great bars in Leblon before heading off for dinner in one of Rio´s top restaurants.

Rio has a unique vibe that has enchanted many and kept it over the years as one of the world´s most desirable travel destinations for its lifestyle and vibrancy. Nestled in the rolling hills modernist architect Oscar Niemeyer holds as his inspiration, Rio is without a doubt one of Brazil´s most alluring urban destinations.

The luxury of untouched rainforest, a beautiful setting, sophisticated yet relaxed social venues and a unique sense of style and music, fuse to provide visitors with ample choice as to how best spend their time here.
