Description
Rio de Janeiro is famous for its spectacular bay, miles of golden sands, laid-back atmosphere and spirited nightlife. Stay at the exclusive Fasano Hotel overlooking beautiful Ipanema beach.
From here you head west to the Pantanal, the world’s largest wetland area, home to a fabulous array of wildlife including caimans, jaguars, tapirs, monkeys and over 600 species of birds. Flying in gives you the very best perspective of this dazzling mosaic of lagoons, and the welcome and superbly individualised service you will receive at Barranco Alto will make it very hard to leave. Excursions are all private and include night walks with torches in search of caimans and other nocturnal animals, superb horse riding, fishing, canoeing to observe river wildlife and open-top jeep tours. All the excursions are led by expert guides who have intimate knowledge of the Pantanal and its fascinating flora and fauna.
From the Pantanal continue your journey to Salvador, Brazil’s oldest city, which has a magnificent coastal setting, some of the finest colonial architecture in the Americas, not to mention the superb beaches and vibrant Afro-Brazilian culture.
The wonderful resort of Uxua in Trancoso is the perfect place to end your journey, with its incredibly chic converted fishermen’s cottages perfectly located for exploring this charming town and relaxing on the endless golden beaches under a swaying coconut palm.
