Top Things to Do in Rio De Janeiro:

  • take a cable car up Sugarloaf Mountain
  • explore Tijuca National Park

Sao Paulo, Brazil's vibrant financial centre, is a melting pot of cultures and one of the most populous cities in the world. This city thrives on diversity, evident in its culinary scene that ranges from traditional Brazilian fare to world-class sushi, making it a gastronome’s delight. The bustling Mercado Municipal offers a taste of local flavours and exotic fruits in a striking setting featuring stained glass and vast domes.

Culturally, Sao Paulo is a powerhouse with an impressive array of museums, galleries, and theatres. The São Paulo Museum of Art (MASP) on Avenida Paulista houses a remarkable collection of Western art, displayed on clear perspex frames that seem to float in midair. For those who seek green spaces amidst the urban sprawl, Ibirapuera Park offers a serene retreat with its expansive grounds and cultural facilities.

Port:Santos

Santos, situated along the coast of São Paulo in Brazil, is best known for possessing the largest seaport in Latin America. This vibrant city combines rich history with an energetic present. The Coffee Museum, located in the city’s historic downtown, pays homage to the coffee boom which profoundly shaped the region's economy and culture.

For those interested in architecture, the seafront promenade features the iconic SESC building, renowned for its innovative design and cultural activities. The city also offers a lush escape with the Orchid Garden, home to a variety of tropical plants and flowers. Santos’ extensive beachfront, marked by the Garden Beach – the longest beachfront garden according to the Guinness Book of World Records – is ideal for leisurely walks or simply enjoying the coastal ambiance.

Arrives: 08:00 Departs: 18:00

Porto Belo, a coastal gem in Brazil's Santa Catarina state, is known for its clear waters and beautiful beaches. The town is a gateway to the lush Arvoredo Marine Biological Reserve, ideal for snorkelling and diving among vibrant marine life.

Praia das Bombinhas is a popular spot for sunbathing and water sports, offering crystal-clear waters and golden sands. For a cultural touch, visit the historic Igreja Matriz, a charming colonial-era church. Porto Belo’s scenic coastal trails provide stunning views and opportunities to explore the region’s natural beauty.

Arrives: 08:00 Departs: 18:00

Balneario Camboriu, a vibrant coastal city in Brazil’s southern state of Santa Catarina, is renowned for its stunning beaches and dynamic urban skyline.

Often compared to a mini Rio de Janeiro for its blend of beautiful natural landscapes and bustling city vibes, it attracts visitors with its famous cable car connecting the central beach to Laranjeiras, offering panoramic views of the lush coastline.

The city also boasts an innovative urban planning feat, Avenida Atlantica, which is a coastal promenade lined with cafes, shops, and high-rise buildings. Notably, the Cristo Luz monument, a smaller version of Rio's Christ the Redeemer, offers another spectacular viewpoint.
