THE BEST OF BRAZIL

Iguazu. At the entrance to the park there is a visitor center equipped with a large structure with bathrooms, a medical center, gift shops and information panels about the park's biodiversity. Transportation within the park is done on an ecological train that connects the main points of the National Park at various stops. Visiting the Argentine side of the falls gives us the possibility of taking 3 different routes where we can get different views of this wonder of the world. The first stop is the Cataratas Station, from there you can visit the Upper Walkway, or the walk in the lower part. Another must-see in the park is the Devil's Throat, where after crossing a 1 kilometer path of walkways over the river you reach the point where you can see this gigantic waterfall up close. In the afternoon we will visit the Brazilian side of the Iguazu Falls. After passing through the visitor center, we will continue along a route that takes us to the magnificent Iguazu Falls. We arrive at the Mirador de las Cataratas, and from this place, we will take a walk of approximately 1,200m with a level of difficulty. During the walk we have panoramic views of the different falls, and at the end a fantastic approach to the Garganta del Diablo. The walk ends at the top of the Falls where there is a beautiful viewpoint with a panoramic view of the upper Iguazú River; in this place there is an excellent restaurant and craft shop, where we can taste a delicious natural fruit juice or buy a souvenir from the place. Before returning to the hotel, we recommend not missing the optional tour Macuco Safari experience or a walk through the bird park. Return to the hotel. Accommodation.

Breakfast in the morning and departure for a walk through the jungle with a specialized tour guide, where we can walk among large trees and breathe the pure air of the land, in addition to obtaining information about the flora and fauna of this wonderful region and visiting a native's house where clients can see how riverside families live and learn about their customs and traditions. This group of people usually live from cassava plantations and prepare the famous cassava flour. They are called "caboclos" (a mix of white and Amazonian Indians). The history of the Amazonian population and the rubber cycle is explained there. Lunch at midday and then some time to rest. Visit to the Acajatuba Community where the local population lives from cassava planting, fishing, regional fruits such as tucumã, cupuaçu, açaí, rubber and Brazil nuts. In the evening, farewell dinner and guided tour to spot Jacarés and get a glimpse of a world of nocturnal activities. We can see frogs, snakes, nocturnal alligators, which are more active at night, so we can see them. The guide uses a flashlight to find alligators, as well as smaller creatures in the water and trees.

Breakfast served at the hotel restaurant. In the morning we will leave for a historical tour of the city where we will have the opportunity to see some of the most important sites in the history of Brazil. We will start the visit at Farol da Barra, which was the first lighthouse in America (1698) and today is one of the places where locals gather at the end of the afternoon to watch the sunset. We will continue the visit on the way to the Upper City, passing through the Corredor da Vitoria, where there are still houses from the colonial era, the Campo Grande and Piedade neighborhoods. In the Upper City, the visit will be through the cobblestone streets of El Pelourinho where we will be able to visit some of the most beautiful churches, such as San Francisco de Assis, and Nuestra Senhora do Rosário dos Pretos (entrance fees not included). We will end this part of the visit at Largo do Pelourinho where we will be able to visit the Jorge Amado House Foundation. We will walk to the Mirador del Elevador Lacerda from where we will be able to appreciate the Lower City, part of the Bay of All Saints. We return to the hotel. Rest of the day free. We recommend the Balé Folclórico da Bahia show in the evening (Monday, Wednesday, Saturday). Accommodation.
