With this package you will visit 3 of the most exciting and sought after destinations in Brazil- Rio de Janeiro (including Buzios), the magical and exotic state of Bahia (Salvador and Praia do Forte) and the legendary Amazon.

Brazilians say that God created the world in six days and, on the seventh, he created Rio . This "Marvelous City", with its stunning Pao de Acucar (Sugar Loaf Mountain), the impressive Corcovado (the statue of Christ), white sand beaches and its green, granite-based peaks, must be the most beautiful and exciting city in the world. 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, which explains why Brigitte Bardot frequented this destination in the 1960's and spread the fame of Buzios across the globe.

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

The Amazon is the planet's greatest rainforest which contains a wealth of life richer than any place else on earth and millions of species still remain undiscovered. 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 jungle location, will enhance your contact with the surrounding nature. Offering walking trails, bird watching tours, boat tours, jungle night treks and survival tours this Lodge is a truly unique place, situated only a one and a half hour drive from Manaus.
