Description
Brazil is a hypnotic nation of heady African rhythms, sensual samba, exotic wildlife, golden beaches and passionate people. From Rio’s carnival spirit to exuberant Amazon rainforest, this is a country of primary colours.
Arriving in Rio, a city that pulses to samba beats, begin your holiday at the wonderfully grand Copacabana Palace on Brazil’s most famous beach. Visit Christ the Redeemer, take a cable car up Sugar Loaf Mountain or explore the art district of Santa Teresa.
To Salvador, and the wondrous colonial heritage and Afro-Brazilian culture of Brazil’s oldest city. Staying at the 16th century Convento do Carmo, enjoy the peaceful cloistered courtyards and period atmosphere of this former Carmelite convent before heading out to sample the city’s fabulous food.
The glorious beaches of Bahia make for a perfect way to end your holiday, and we have suggested the Praia do Forte Ecoresort, an excellent hotel set right on the beach and with a wide range of activities for all the family, from the superb spa to tennis courts and nine pools, delicious cuisine, and excursions to visit to the turtle-nesting beach, seasonal whale watching and exploring the nearby mangrove lagoons.
