Day 1: UK
You'll fly to the sun-drenched climes of Brazil today, where you'll soak up the culture and vibrancy of its capital over the next few days.

Touch down in Rio and spend the rest of your day at leisure to take in the colonial architecture, vibrant culture, breathtaking beaches and intoxicating energy. Sip a caipirinha as you watch the sun set and prepare yourself for the adventure that awaits. Overnight stay in Rio de Janeiro.
Day 3: Rio de Janeiro
After breakfast at your hotel, you'll set off to discover two essential wonders of Rio. First up, you'll visit the charming neighbourhood of Santa Teresa, where you can take pictures on the well-known Selaron staircase, before discovering the enchanting natural beauty and wildlife of the Tijuca National Park. Here, you'll visit the 'hunchbak' Corcovado mountain, home of the iconic Christ the Redeemer, and take in the spectacular views of the city below. Overnight stay in Rio de Janeiro.
Day 4: Rio de Janeiro
After breakfast at the hotel, you'll have the option to either spend the day at leisure, or embark on an excursion to Sugar Loaf Mountain, where you’ll get to soak up breathtaking views of Rio-Niterói Bridge, Corcovado Mountain, Copacabana beach, the Santa Cruz fortress and more by cable car. Overnight stay in Rio de Janeiro.
Day 5: Rio de Janeiro - Salvador de Bahía
Transfer to the airport, and fly to Salvador de Bahía; known for its colonial architecture, Afro-Brazilian culture and tropical coastline, the city is a vibrant melting pot of AfroBrazilian heritage. Upon your arrival, spend the rest of the day at your leisure. Overnight stay in Salvador de Bahía.
Day 6: Salvador de Bahía
Discover this UNESCO World Heritage city on a guided tour, admiring the stunning cathedrals and Baroque churches. Stop for lunch and then spend the rest of the day exploring the rest of the city’s highlights – like the views from Elevador Lacerda – at your own pace.
As the sun sets, you'll have the option to head out on a Bahia Night Tour which includes a fascinating Afro-Bahian dinner and a folklore show with traditional dances. Overnight stay in Salvador.

Your all-inclusive board here includes breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as local spirits, beers, wine and soft drinks.
Day 9 - 11: Praia do Forte
Spend your days here at leisure. With 12 kilometres of pristine beaches to discover, whiling away the hours should be easy. Discover hidden coves and stunning lagoons, don a snorkel and take the waters to discover vibrant marine life, or head to the Tamar Turtle Project, which works hard to protect sea turtles from extinction along the coastline of Brazil.
On day 10, you'll have the option to head out on a guided diving excursion to the natural pools of Praia do Forte, that have formed in the middle of coral reefs.
