Rio and Iguazu Falls Tour
~ 6 Day Tour Starting at $999
Our Rio and Iguazu Falls tour visits two of Brazil's most stunning and vibrant destinations - Rio de Janiero and the mighty Iguazu Falls. Rio is a city of long, golden beaches and exuberant cultural life, stretched between jungle-covered mountains and the Atlantic Ocean. Enjoy your time in the sun in one of South America's most attractive cities.
After soaking up the atmosphere of Rio, you fly to Iguazu Falls, spending a few days to absorb this awe-inspiring spectacle. Iguazu boasts nearly 270 separate falls, perfectly set amongst lush rainforest.
Visit the spectacular Iguazu Falls and marvelous Rio with Rainforest Cruises.
Rio de Janeiro and Iguazu Falls Tour:
Rainforest Cruises brings you to the birthplace of samba, caipirinhas, and World Cup champions! Visit beautiful Rio de Janeiro for some fun and relaxation before continuing your journey to Iguazu Falls, arguably the world's most beautiful waterfall system.
When in Rio, enjoy guided tours of the most popular sites: Corcovado, home of the Christ Redeemer statue, and Sugar Loaf Mountain. Take some time to mix with the locals (cariocas) on Ipanema or Copacabana beach.
At Iguazu witness nature's sheer awesome power as tonnes of water throw themselves over almost 270 separate waterfalls, and the mist rises into the jungle. Don't forget to take a poncho!
Our tour of Rio de Janeiro and Iguazu Falls is ideal for travelers who would like a 'highlights' tour of Brazil's best-known destinations, in addition to an exciting tour of the Amazon.
Note: This tour can be organized either before or after your Amazon riverboat cruise
Rio and Iguazu Falls Tour Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival in Rio de Janeiro
You are met at the airport in Rio and escorted to your hotel, conveniently situated near Copacabana and Ipanema Beaches. Depending on your arrival time, you either have the day to explore the city or rest in your comfortable hotel. Rio boasts some truly spectacular nightlife, so if you are up for some fun, take a stroll along Ipanema's boulevard!
Day 2: Guided Visit to Christ Redeemer and Sugar Loaf
After breakfast in your hotel, you are collected for the day's guided tour. Your excursion begins by entering the Tijuca forest en route to the Christ Redeemer statue. The rest of the morning is reserved for a meal and walking tour of the city center. In the afternoon, you visit Sugar Loaf Mountain, taking the cable car to the summit to enjoy spectacular views of Rio and her beaches. (Meals - B, L)
Day 3: A "Whatever" Day
Take the day to enjoy yourself. Whether you are interested in shopping, fine dining, soft adventure, or a cold drink in the warm sand, you can find it in Rio. Most people go for a cold beer or caipirinha (a local rum drink), which are sold right on the beach, so break in your new flip-flops and enjoy a day in the sun! (Meals - B)
Day 4: The Brazil side of the Falls
;)
Transfer to the airport for your flight to Iguazu. Today we visit the Brazilian side of the falls, home to Devil's Throat Gorge. This is the tallest of the nearly 270 falls at Iguazu, measuring 80 meters from top to bottom. Enjoy the remainder of the day exploring the Falls, then return to your hotel for a restful evening. (Meals - B)
Day 5: The Argentina Side
;)
Today's activities take you to the Iguazu National Park located on the Argentinian side of the Falls. The park consists of various trails that take you through the jungle on wooden boardwalks.
