About the Tour: 12 Days of Carnival, Waterfalls and Ocean Coast
This Brazil Carnival tour in Rio de Janeiro places you right at the heart of the celebration. At the Sambadrome, you'll join thousands of spectators watching the samba school competition, picking out the stories told through costumes and floats, and singing along to the choruses with the crowd. The night energy of the parade gives way to a different Rio – a train ride through the Tijuca Forest to Corcovado, and a cable car lifting you above the bay.
A Brazil Carnival vacation doesn't stop after a few festive days. From Rio, the route turns toward Iguazu, where a calm river drops over ancient basalt ledges. The itinerary includes Iguazu Falls tours on both sides of the border. From the Brazilian side, the cascades form a wide panorama. In Argentina, walkways bring you so close to the water that conversation drowns in the roar and spray hits your face.
Then comes beach time in Brazil. In Buzios, it's a pleasure to pick a new cove, walk barefoot on warm sand, swim, or explore the coastline by boat and buggy.
A group tour to Brazil takes the hassle out of planning – domestic flights, transfers, meet-and-greets, hotels, and the main excursions are all woven into one seamless itinerary. Brazil Carnival packages are ideal for travelers who don't want to choose between a major celebration and quiet days by the ocean. These Brazil Carnival packages leave lasting impressions without turning your vacation into a race. Twelve days will pass, but Brazil will stay with you – in the roar of Iguazu, the heat of the Sambadrome, and the ocean that you'll find yourself returning to again and again in your thoughts.
