Itinerary

Night falling over the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil's most important tourist destination.
  • Upon arrival at the Rio de Janeiro airport, you will be greeted by a Latin America For Less representative who will take you to your confirmed Rio de Janeiro hotel.
  • You will have the remainder of the day to enjoy at your leisure, resting at your hotel and exploring the dynamic city on your own.
  • Check out our Rio de Janeiro Guide for suggestions on where to eat and what to do in Rio.

The Christ the Redeemer statue overlooking Rio de Janeiro, one of the New 7 Wonders of the World.
  • Today you’ll enjoy a private half-day tour up Corcovado, the mountain in the middle of Rio de Janeiro that is famous for its massive Christ the Redeemer statue.
  • After meeting your guide at your hotel, you’ll ride through Laranjeiras, one of the city’s oldest residential districts, and into the traditional Cosme Velho neighborhood. Here, you will board a mountain train for a scenic trip through the Tijuca forest, the largest urban forest in the world.
  • Upon reaching the top, 2,300 feet (700 meters) above sea level, you’ll be greeted by spectacular 360-degree city views. Soak up the scenery and feel dwarfed by the 130-foot tall religious statue, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.
  • You’ll then return to your Rio de Janeiro hotel to enjoy the evening at your leisure.

Swimmers and surfers enjoying the water on a sunny day at the beach in Rio de Janeiro.
  • Spend the day as you wish in beautiful Rio. Today you can sleep in, relax in the sun on one of Rio’s magnificent beaches, or explore the bustling streets of the city.
  • See our blog, Rio de Janeiro, the gem in colonial Portugal’s crown, for ideas on what to see in the city.
  • You can also browse through our additional services and select to go on an exciting Rio tour.

Small boats docked at a beach surrounded by the lush jungle vegetation of Iguazu Falls.
  • After breakfast at your hotel, meet your transfer to the airport for your flight from Rio de Janeiro to Foz de Iguaçu.
  • Upon arrival, you will be met at the Iguaçu airport by one of our representatives, who will take you to your confirmed hotel.
  • Once you are settled in, meet your guide at your hotel for a half-day tour of the Brazilian side of the Iguaçu Falls. You will drive to the National Park, which covers 457,145 acres (185,000 hectares) of lush subtropical forest, where you’ll take a 45-minute hike along the walkway that borders the canyon of the Iguazu River. From here, you can enjoy fantastic panoramic views of this incredible waterfall system that reaches 266 feet high (81 meters).
  • After the tour, you’ll be taken back to your hotel in Foz de Iguaçu where you can spend the evening at your leisure.

  • Enjoy breakfast at your hotel before departing for a full-day tour of the Argentine side of the Iguazu Falls. You’ll cross the border into Argentina and drive to the Iguazu Falls National Park, where you will enjoy intimate views of the Iguazu River and the falls. The Iguazu Falls tour includes hikes along the Upper Circuit, taking you to elevated walkways leading to the edge of the major waterfalls comprising the system, and the Lower Circuit, a circular route allowing for incredible views from below of the waters crashing down.
  • The tour includes an ecological train ride to the Devil's Throat, arguably the most impressive fall of the system, which you will be able to admire from spacious balconies along the edge of the falls.

    • Although the Devil's Throat tour and Upper Circuit tour are mostly flat, the Lower Circuit involves a lot of stairs, so be prepared for some effort.

  • Once you’ve had your fill of the breathtaking scenery, you’ll return to your hotel in Foz de Iguaçu and have the evening free to spend as you wish.
