Tour Description

Carnival in São Paulo and Rio, with three nights of coastal reset in between? Oh. Yes. Start with bloco buzz and big-city colour, slow it right down with Paraty’s beaches and cobblestones, then finish in Rio with Christ the Redeemer, the Sambadrome and Carnival at full volume. Brazil doesn’t do half-measures, and neither does this trip.
