For small groups of family, friends, or corporate board members traveling to Brazil for the first time, there is a classic, highly effective itinerary formula: Rio de Janeiro, Iguazu Falls, plus one more major destination.
Because small groups of up to 30 guests don’t face the same hotel and flight capacity bottlenecks as large corporate groups, you have the flexibility to design a multi-destination journey that covers Brazil’s diverse landscapes in a single, two-week trip.
This combination provides the perfect balance of urban energy and raw natural scale. You start in Rio with the beaches of Copacabana, private tours, and dining overlooking Sugarloaf Mountain. It’s the vibrant cultural introduction your group expects.
Next is Iguazu Falls, the natural anchor of the trip. The sheer scale of the falls, sitting on the border of Brazil and Argentina, is an unforgettable sensory experience. We arrange private boat rides that take your group right to the base of the thundering water, followed by private helicopter flights. Best of all, Iguazu is incredibly easy to integrate into a Rio trip, with regular, inexpensive flights taking only 2 to 2.5 hours.
Once your group has experienced the magic of Rio and the scale of Iguazu, you add the “Wild Card” based on your group’s specific interests.
For wildlife seekers, we add 3 nights in the Southern Pantanal at Caiman Lodge to track jaguars. For beach lovers, we add an extended stay in Fernando de Noronha for world-class diving and private catamaran cruises. For culture and history enthusiasts, we add Salvador da Bahia to explore Afro-Brazilian heritage and the quiet beaches of Praia do Forte.
We have spent 25 years customizing this multi-destination formula, handling the complex regional flight blocks and private ground transfers so your group moves between these diverse biomes seamlessly.
