This holiday is perfect for those who want to experience some of Brazil's magnificent highlights at a relaxing pace. The trip incorporates the vibrant city of Rio de Janeiro and the magnificent Iguazu Falls. In Rio see world renowned sights like Sugar Loaf Mountain and Corcovado, visit Ipanema beach or explore the historic downtown, a showcase for the city's fine artistic, architectural and cultural heritage. Wander along beautiful Copacabana Beach or unwind by the hotel pool taking in the superb sunsets. Next take a short flight to the Iguazu Falls and stay at the colonial style Das Cataratas Hotel, ideally located within the Brazilian side of the national park. Walk from the hotel to the falls and explore at your own pace early in the morning or in the evening when the park is closed. You'll see the huge volume of cascading water as it pummels against the basalt rock, generating a permanent cloud of mist which helps to create blazing rainbows.
