Classic Brazil

Enjoy a private guided tour of Rio's highlights, including a trip by cable car up Sugar Loaf Mountain, the iconic statue of Christ the Redeemer and a tasty BBQ lunch in a traditional Churrascaria.

Free day in Rio to stroll along the beaches or arrange further tours - you could take a street art tour or try a typical cookery class.

Today you will fly to Iguacu where you will be met and taken to your hotel. Afternoon at leisure to enjoy the superb views on the Brazilian side of the falls, right outside your hotel.

Enjoy a half day private tour of the Argentine side of the falls today, which offers spectacular contrasts, and the opportunity to get up close to the falls.

Today you will fly north to the city of Salvador in the state of Bahia. Transfer to your hotel in the charming historic centre of the city.

Private guided tour of Salvador's key sights, including a visit to the All Saints Bay, the cobbled streets of the Pelourinho lined with colourful buildings and the Baroque church of Sao Francisco.

Free day to further explore Salvador at your own leisure - you may wish to visit the handicrafts market or experience a folkloric dance show.

Today you head for the beaches of Brazil's northeastern coast. A direct flight from Salvador takes you to Maceio, where you're met by a driver who'll take you the rest of the way (about an hour and a half's drive) to Casa Acayu. Your pousada is a lovely hideaway set just back from the beach enveloped by swaying palm trees. You'll have some time to relax and enjoy the laid-back culture of northern Brazil.

Take it easy on the beach or get out and explore the other nearby beaches in a buggy.

Continue to soak up the sun and enjoy the cool breeze or hit the water in a kayak or on a standup paddleboard.

Take a private transfer back to Natal in time for your indirect flight home.
