Our trip planner was the most incredible agent we could've asked for! We made no less than a dozen changes to our reservation throughout the time we worked with her, including nearly a day before we left for Brazil! She was able to accommodate every request we had, knew the best places for us to go, and everything she booked for us was absolutely perfect and memorable. We could not be more grateful for what Brazil Green Travel provided for us and for the lifelong memories we will have from our trip to Brazil.

Iguazu Falls and Bahia beaches itinerary
Explore colourful Rio de Janeiro
Day 1–3 in Rio de Janeiro
Is there another city on earth that can match Rio's beauty? Mountain peaks, lush forests, beautiful beaches and playful inhabitants make Rio a must-see on any Brazilian itinerary. From the famous beaches of Copacabana to edgy Botofago, Rio is the perfect bookend to a Brazil trip.
Spend several days exploring Brazil’s bustling coastal city — and home to the world’s biggest carnival. Visit the city’s famed beaches and diverse neighbourhoods, as well as the urban rainforest of Tijuca Forest. Ride the rack railway up Corcovado Mountain to see up-close the 30m-high statue of Christ the Redeemer — perhaps one of the most recognisable icons of Brazil. Then drive through Santa Teresa neighborhood to explore the area’s history and beautiful 19th and early 20th century mansions.
Witness thundering Iguazu Falls
Day 4–6 in Iguassu Falls
The mighty Iguazu Falls are actually a chain of 275 smaller waterfalls, forming an awe-inspiring semi-circle of water and noise. Lying between Argentina and Brazil, the falls are an awesome sight on their own, but both sides offer excellent wildlife watching.
Explore Afro-Brazilian culture in Salvador
Day 7–8 in Salvador
Tropical Salvador is home to plenty of gorgeous coastline, but it is the city’s Afro-Brazilian culture that attracts visitors. Here, believers reconnect with African gods in Candomble ceremonies, rhythmic music pulses from weekly festivals and the cuisine is sharpened with plenty of hot chilli. Once Brazil’s first capital, modern Salvador is youthful, energetic and unmissable.
Relax on the getaway island of Boipeba
Day 9–11 in Ilha de Boipeba
A 12-km stretch of jungle and beaches, laidback Boipeba is the perfect place to lounge on the beach, eat delicious seafood and unwind from the stresses of the mainland. While still basic, there are plans ahead to build several resorts, so get here quick.
Return to Salvador and depart
Day 12 in Salvador
Head back to Salvador for your onward departure.
