This once-in-a-lifetime adventure begins in Rio de Janeiro, famously known as "The Marvelous City." Led by local experts Cristiano and his brother Eduardo, you’ll explore iconic landmarks like Christ the Redeemer and Copacabana Beach, as well as uncover hidden gems that only locals know. While Rio is renowned for its vibrant beaches, football culture, and dazzling Carnival, it’s also home to a surprising treasure: the world’s largest urban forest.
From Rio, your journey continues to Paraty, a charming colonial coastal village where time seems to stand still. Wander through its vibrant streets, filled with delightful eateries and one-of-a-kind crafts. In Paraty, the lush rainforest meets the turquoise sea, offering the best of both worlds. The area is surrounded by countless islands and pristine beaches, making a boat trip an absolute must. We’ll embark on an unforgettable voyage to explore the world’s only tropical fjord, stopping at secluded beaches, cascading waterfalls, and breathtaking scenic lookouts along the way
Next, we return to Rio and fly to Bahia, the African heart of Brazil. Bahia boasts stunning beaches, tropical weather, and a vibrant culture unlike anywhere else on Earth. Known for the "3 Cs"—Coconut, Cacao, and Capoeira—this lively destination is a feast for the senses. During our visit, we’ll explore an authentic Pataxó indigenous village to learn how the true locals live in paradise and savor fresh cacao straight from the source. With its rich flavors, infectious rhythms, and breathtaking natural beauty, Bahia truly embodies the soul of Brazilian culture.
Our fourth destination is Alto Paraíso, or "High Paradise," often regarded as the spiritual capital of Brazil. This enchanting region is famous for its amazing waterfalls, sparkling crystals, alternative communities, and laid-back lifestyle. Alto Paraíso also serves as the gateway to Chapada dos Veadeiros National Park, a UNESCO-recognized Natural Heritage Site, where nature’s beauty and energy converge in breathtaking harmony.
The cherry on top of this trip is the Multi-ethnic Village Festival, a one-of-a-kind Indigenous cultural celebration where you’ll be fully immersed in music, dance, crafts, and sacred ceremonies. Held in Chapada dos Veadeiros, the festival honors and strengthens the cultures and political struggles of Indigenous and quilombola communities. With a focus on preservation, promotion, and access to Brazil's rich material and immaterial heritage, the Multi-ethnic Village Festival offers an unforgettable experience that connects you to the heart of Brazil’s diverse traditions.
