Rio de Janeiro & Iguaçu Falls
South America is nothing if not a culture shock, and arriving in Rio we gradually 'acclimatise' with a range of excursions, from the fabled Maracana stadium to the famous Sugar Loaf mountain, reached by cablecar - or even with the chance to test your samba skills! Continuing on to Iguaçu Falls, we explore the Brazilian side of the falls where we will also stop to admire the impressive Itaipu Hydroelectric Plant. The following day we also visit the Argentinean side where there's the option to travel by speedboat right up to the thundering cascades themselves!

Amazon Rainforest
Flying north to Manaus, we head straight by motor launch into the Amazon and settle in to our comfortable rainforest lodge. We will take jungle walks to spot monkeys, canoe trips through the creeks and backwaters (keep your eyes open for alligators!) and also have a trip to the 'meeting of the waters'. The more daring of you may also want to take an optional trip by canoe to try piranha fishing! We also hope to visit one of the local tribes that live in the jungle close to our lodge to learn about their way of life.

Beaches, Turtles & Whales
The final part of this amazing holiday takes us back to the Brazil's beautiful beaches and the small coastal village of Praia do Forte. We will visit the TAMAR turtle project that is based here and mother nature permitting, we have the opportunity to take an optional whale watching excursion. These last few days offer a great chance to relax and unwind after what will certainly be an unforgettable adventure!
