Start slow and end in samba-soaked glory – Rio style – on this eleven-day small-group trip tracing Brazil’s coastline. São Paulo hits first: loud, gritty, full of street art and after-dark energy. Then come the schooner rides through island coves, jungle hikes to beaches with no cafés, no crowds and caipirinhas that go down a little too easily. Just when you’ve settled into the rhythm, Rio turns it up. Carnival. Blocos in the streets, the Sambódromo in technicolour overdrive and the whole city vibrating with life. Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf, Copacabana – they’re all on the cards, too. A local host handles the logistics so you can soak up the magic. This is real Brazil, made effortless. This trip is designed for one or two people. If you're trying to book for more, it won’t work – not because we don’t want you there, but because this experience only makes sense with that number.
