Starting in the beautiful city of Rio de Janeiro, we look down over Rio from the
tops of Sugar Loaf Mountain and Corcovada. Our Brazil family tour then heads to
Manaus and the Amazon, the worlds largest rainforest. Here we stay in an eco-lodge,
and visit the Monkey Jungle, go piranha fishing, hike through the rainforest,
and take a night canoe safari looking for caimans, as well as learning about the
culture of the local people of the forest – the caboclos. The old colonial capital
of Brazil is Salvador, one of the most vibrant cities in this huge country. Look
out for the Baianas – local women in their traditional lace dresses, selling specialities
of the delicious Bahian cuisine, and listen out for the sounds of the drums beating
throughout the city. And finally we spend time at Praia do Forte, with its white
sandy beaches lined with coconut palms, and natural marine pools. Here you can
relax on the beach, or visit the Turtle Project, or enjoy other options such as
whale watching, jeep safaris or the sea turtles by night.
