Author's tour "Express Brazil (Rio de Janeiro - Foz de Iguazu)"

Arrival at Rio de Janeiro airport. The driver will be waiting for you with a sign with your names. Transfer to the hotel. If you arrive before dark, then on the road from the airport you will see green hills, rocky mountains, palm trees on both sides of the road and beautiful bays. When darkness falls, the city is surrounded by a shimmering necklace - these are the lights of the favelas! We spend the rest of the day at our discretion. Maybe someone will want to quickly see and feel the vibrant life of the city. And someone wants to be alone with themselves, then there is always a corner somewhere between palm trees, sand and ocean waves.

Breakfast in the hotel. Excursion to Sugarloaf Mountain and Beaches (4 hours in a group with an English-speaking guide). You go to Praia Vermelha (Red Beach), from where you will take a cable car up the mountain. The first stop will be on Mount Urca, which has a wide observation deck where you can have a snack in a restaurant or bar. On Sugarloaf Mountain itself there is a smaller platform, but it offers a beautiful view of Rio, Copacabana beach, the bay, the surrounding mountains, islands in the ocean, the Niteroi Bridge, and the statue of Christ.

Breakfast in the hotel. Excursion to Mount Corcovado to the Statue of Christ (4 hours in a group with an English-speaking guide). Arrival at the station, from where we set off through the jungle to the top of the Corcovado hill. There are breathtaking views of the Tijuca forest on both sides of the road. At the top of Corcovado Hill, at an altitude of 710 m above sea level, rises the symbol of Rio - the statue of Christ the Redeemer (38 m), which was erected in 1931. The observation deck offers a breathtaking panorama of the metropolis and its surroundings: the bridge in Niteroi, Guanabara Bay, the Botanical Garden, the world's largest Maracana stadium, Sugar Loaf and much more. In the afternoon you will have an excursion to the Rocinha favela (4 hours in a group with an English-speaking guide). Once upon a time, soldiers from Bahia fought with the royal detachment on the hill where the favela tree stood. After the war, survivors came to Rio de Janeiro to demand payment. They settled on Providence Hill and remained there to live. They named it favela hill in memory of their battle. There are narrow, dirty streets winding along them, along which stinking ditches stretch. There are 700 favelas in Rio. It's not just thieves and drug dealers who live in favelas. There are technicians and employees here, and you can even rent a room. You can get here with the permission of the local godfather. The police don't come here. On the narrow streets there is a lively street trade. There is also a free market for food and handicrafts. It has its own internal laws. By jeep you will travel through the areas of Rocinha and return to the hotel.

Private transfer from your hotel to Rio Airport for your flight to Foz de Iguazu. Private transfer (with guide) from the airport to your hotel. An excursion to the Brazilian side of the waterfalls awaits you. These 275 huge water streams, falling from a terrible height, are located on the border of Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay. The waterfalls are located in a national park with unique flora and fauna. They arose as a result of a volcanic eruption and displacement of earth layers. The name of the waterfalls means “big water” in Guarani. 275 waterfalls, each of which has its own name, merge into one and fall with a roar into the Devil's Throat gorge. The spectacle of water splashes in a halo of rainbow spectrum is simply mesmerizing! The contrast between the calm and even lazy flow of the waters of the Iguazu River above the waterfalls and the powerful overthrow of seething streams of water from a height of 72 meters into the abyss is amazing. Walking across the bridge under the smallest spray, you can stand for hours without stopping, contemplating this spectacle and thinking about the splendor and eternity of our universe.

Breakfast in the hotel. Excursion to the Argentine waterfalls accompanied by a guide. A guide will be waiting for you at the hotel and will give you information about the National Park at a high professional level. Through the Tancredo Neves Bridge, built over the Iguazu River, the National Park begins and after walking along it you will come close to the waterfalls and find yourself directly under them, you will feel the power of the falling water very close and you will be able to enjoy the natural park around this magnificent beauty! You will see the birth of waterfalls and the most famous waterfall, “Devil's Throat”. The numerous paths and passages created by human hands are amazing, allowing you to observe this natural phenomenon from a very close distance. We will take a walk to the National Park and admire the waterfalls from special observation platforms located high above them. Multi-ton streams of water form a huge number of waterfalls of various shapes and heights, over which multi-colored rainbows hang. The impressions from this spectacle will remain with you for the rest of your life. Particularly impressive is the waterfall called Devil's Throat, which is the largest of the waterfalls. The national park covers an area of 55,500 hectares, which preserves a diverse and unique flora and fauna unique to this region.
