Highlights |
In the evening, enjoy a Tango Show & Dinner at one of the tango clubs in downtown Buenos Aires. Included are all drinks, a 3-course meal including mouth-watering Argentine steak, transfers to and from your hotel, and a professional tango dance show with live music.
In the afternoon, you can spend the day as you wish. You may want to stroll along the Puerto Madero waterfront, grab a bite to eat in a sidewalk cafe, or opt for an additional excursion to the Tigre Delta on a riverboat cruise.
Later in the day, fly from Curitiba to Rio de Janeiro and transfer to a hotel near Copacabana Beach. This world-famous beach is where all the cariocas, the locals, come to play, relax, hang out, and people-watch. Join in, relax by the hotel’s rooftop swimming pool or stay inside for the rest of the evening.
In the evening, meet your fellow travelers for a rodizio-style dinner, an all-you-can-eat buffet, Brazilian style. There’s an assortment of barbecue meats, veggies, fruits, cheeses, sweets, and more, all included.
Afterward, follow a local guide will take to the Sambadromo for the Champion’s Parade. Held at the end of Rio Carnival’s week-long celebrations, the Champion’s Parade is the grand finale. The 6 samba schools that won prizes at the Rio Carnival parades earlier in the week all parade together in one lively, vivacious celebration comprised of over 3000 dancers! Witness the vibrant costumes, elaborate floats, expert samba musicians, and incredible dancing at this year’s Rio Carnival parade.
We recommend a full-day tour to the fisherman’s village of Itacuruçá, located 1 hour south of Rio de Janeiro. The Saveiro, name given to this typical boat that looks like a schooner, cruises the Sepetiba Bay. Take a schooner cruise and keep your eyes out for dolphins, giant kingfishers, parrots, turtles and sting-rays. The schooner will stop at various islands and give you time for snorkeling and swimming. Enjoy a buffet lunch at one of the islands.
Return to your hotel in Rio de Janeiro for a final night in “The Marvelous City.”
