With this package you will visit some of Brazil's most famous destinations - the city of Rio de Janeiro; the beautiful beach destination of Buzios; the spectacular Iguassu Falls; Salvador da Bahia, Brazil's first capital city; the tranquil fisherman's village of Praia do Forte and the legendary Amazon Rainforest.

Rio de Janeiro is called the "Marvellous City" by its inhabitants, the Cariocas, is indeed one of the most beautiful and exciting cities in the world. Uniquely situated on a narrow strip of land between green mountains and the deep blue sea, it is surrounded by coves, white sand beaches and granite based peaks, the most famous of which is the Pao de Acucar (Sugar Loaf). Búzios, once a tranquil fishing village, is home to some of Brazil's most stunning beaches, exotic boutiques, hip restaurants and bars, and unique architecture offering a very relaxed and sophisticated atmosphere.

The Iguassu Falls are considered to be one of the seven wonders of the modern world and, at over 3km (1.9 miles) wide and 80m (263 ft) high, their beauty is unsurpassed.

Salvador, known for its history, culture and beauty and Praia do Forte, a quaint fisherman village, known for its beaches, restaurants and artisan shops will give you a glimpse of what the northeastern state of Bahia has to offer in terms of rich history, culture and natural beauty.

The Amazon is the planet's greatest rainforest and contains a wealth of life richer than any place else on earth.  Once of the best places to see some of this incredible wildlife is at the Amazonat Jungle Lodge. The Amazonat Lodge, specially selected by ILS³ due to its abundant wildlife, will enhance your contact with the surrounding nature. The Lodge offers walking trails, bird watching tours, boat tours, jungle night treks and survival tours.  The Lodge is a truly unique place situated only a one and a half hour drive from Manaus.
