Discover Guided Tours

Most people don’t think of South America went they think of going on vacation.  Even so, there are guided tours of many
places on this continent that will provide you with an adventure of a lifetime and will allow you to see things few venture
forth to see.  Adventure guided tours of Brazil may be just the South American location for you.

Most guided tours of Brazil begin in Rio de Janeiro, the largest city in Brazil.  After getting you settled, your tour guide
may begin by taking you on a spectacular two-stage cable car tour of the Sugar Loaf Mountain.  At the top of the mountain,
you’ll need to have your camera ready to take mountaintop pictures of Rio de Janeiro, Copacabana Beach and the lovely
Guanabara Bay.

While still in Rio de Janeiro, many guided tours will take you to see the sights of the city, including a visit to the H.
Stern Gem Factory—the largest jewelry factory and store in the world.  You may also visit the Corcovado Mountain, ascending
the mountain by means of a cog railway.  At the top, you’ll have a panoramic view of Rio de Janeiro from the site of the
statue of Christ the Redeemer, sitting 2,300 feet above the city.

While in Rio de Janeiro, many guided tours will introduce you to traditional Brazilian cuisine, shopping areas, music
venues and areas for further shopping and sightseeing on your own.

Another common site for guided tours of Brazil is Foz do Iguaçú, the fourth largest city in Brazil, located in Southern
Brazil. There you will see the stunning Iguassu Falls, a waterfall with a flow capacity equal to three times that of
Niagara Falls.  The falls marks the demarcation between Brazil and Argentina.  Perhaps you’ll stay in a hotel overlooking
the waterfalls.

Many guided tours offer you the opportunity to spend a couple of days at the waterfalls, including walking tours of the
Brazilian side of the falls and a motor coach tour of the Argentine side of this spectacular place.  You can walk through
the Foz do Iguaçú National Park with views that take you to spots directly over the falls—including one called the “Devil’s
Throat”.

Take an early morning flight out of the falls area, where many guided tours of Brazil will take you to Manaus, in the heart
of the Amazon River valley.  You may stay at a hotel on the Rio Negro just before it meets with the more expansive Amazon
River.
