The best memorable and unique tours

Discover the unique spirit of Brazil

Brazil is a land of dazzling contrasts and boundless spirit — where lush rainforests meet vibrant cities, ancient traditions dance with modern rhythms, and every corner reveals a story as colorful and captivating as the people who call it home.

Cradled between lush mountains and golden beaches, Rio de Janeiro pulses with energy, where samba rhythms echo through vibrant neighborhoods and the Christ the Redeemer watches over the iconic cityscape from above.
A symphony of water and mist, Foz do Iguaçu stuns with its colossal waterfalls thundering through the jungle, offering a raw, awe-inspiring encounter with nature’s sheer power.
In the heart of Brazil, the Pantanal opens up like a living wildlife documentary — the world’s largest tropical wetland teeming with caimans, jaguars, and a kaleidoscope of birds in a mesmerizing floodplain paradise.
A blend of bohemian charm and seaside sophistication, Búzios is a coastal jewel with sun-kissed beaches, cobbled streets, and a magnetic allure that once captivated Brigitte Bardot and still enchants travelers today.

An Ideal route to discover Brazil

Discover Brazil day by day
Day 1. Rio de Janeiro
 Arrival at Rio de Janeiro airport. You will be met by a guide at the airport. Transfer to the hotel.
Rio is green hills, blue skies, rocky mountains, coves, islands, beautiful beaches... the second largest city in Brazil and certainly one of the most beautiful cities in the world. If you arrived before dark, then already on the way from the airport you will see green hills, rocky mountains, palm trees on both sides of the road and beautiful bays. At nightfall, the city is surrounded by a shimmering necklace - these are the lights of the favelas! The rest of the day we spend at our discretion. Maybe someone wants to quickly see and feel the exuberant life of the city. And someone wants to be alone with himself, then for this there will always be a corner somewhere between palm trees, sand and ocean waves. 
Day 1. Rio de Janeiro -0
Day 2. Rio de Janeiro
 Breakfast in the hotel. A guide is waiting for you in the hotel lobby. Half day (4h) excursion to the Sugar Loaf (Pao de Açucar Mountain) with an English speaking guide. You are going to Praia Vermelha (Red Beach), from where you will take the cable car up the mountain. The first stop will be on Mount Urca, which has a wide observation deck where you can have a bite to eat in a restaurant or bar. On the Sugar Loaf itself there is a smaller platform, but it offers a beautiful view of Rio, Copacabana beach, the bay, the surrounding mountains, islands in the ocean, the Niteroi bridge, the statue of Christ. Then by car you will go to the central districts of old Rio, where you will admire several ancient churches, monasteries, the main Cathedral of the city, as well as buildings built in the colonial style.

Day 3. Rio de Janeiro
Excursion to Corcovado to the statue of Christ Breakfast in the hotel. A half-day (4h) excursion to Corcovado to the statue of Christ awaits you with a Russian-speaking guide. Arrive at the station, where an open, environmentally friendly train starts, which heads through the jungle to the top of the Corcovado hill. Both sides of the railway offer breathtaking views of the Tijuca forest, which is home to monkeys and other exotic animals and birds. At the top of the Corcovado hill, at an altitude of 700 m above sea level, rises the symbol of Rio - the statue of Christ the Savior (38 m), which was erected in 1931. From the top of Corcovado, a breathtaking panorama of the metropolis and its environs opens up: the Niteroi Bridge, Guanabara Bay, the Botanical Garden, the largest Maracanã stadium in the world, the Sugar Loaf and much more 
Day 3. Rio de Janeiro -2
Rio by Night – Lapa
 (3 hours, private tour, minimum 2 people, with a  guide)

Lapa is the pulsating heart of Rio's nightlife – a district where the rhythm never stops and the energy is contagious. It's a place packed with countless bars and clubs to suit every taste, buzzing with crowds of locals and visitors enjoying the night. Music of all kinds pours out from every corner, from techno beats to live ethnic tunes.

Brazilian music is incredibly diverse — from African rhythms brought by enslaved people to the smooth bossa nova born from white composers in the mid-20th century. Against a backdrop of cobblestone streets, ancient monasteries, and the iconic Arcos da Lapa aqueduct, this neighborhood offers a unique and liberating social scene.

If you're up for an unforgettable night and open to adventure, this is the place for you! Calling them "bars" doesn't do justice — Lapa’s nightlife is a seamless flow of dance halls, where stepping out of one leads you straight into another through a sea of revelers. The signature local drink? The legendary caipirinha — a refreshing mix of cachaça (sugarcane spirit), lime juice, ice, and sugar.
Rio by Night – Lapa -3
The secrets of Old Rio de Janeiro
(4-hour private guided- tour, minimum 2 people)

On this tour, you'll uncover the secrets of Old Rio de Janeiro. Your guide will pick you up from your hotel and take you to the historic city center, where you'll learn about Rio's colonial past, its rituals, churches, and the origin of its name — founded in 1565.

As you walk through the historical heart of the city, you'll encounter many remnants of its rich past, such as the Candelária Church, built in 1775, and the São Bento Monastery, a masterpiece of baroque architecture.

You'll visit the famous Lapa Arches (Arcos da Lapa), constructed in 1732 as an aqueduct to bring water from the Carioca River to the city center. The Municipal Theater, designed by Europe’s finest artists, evokes the elegance of the Paris Opera House.

Next, you’ll head to November Square (Praça XV de Novembro), home to some of the city’s most important landmarks: the Imperial Palace, from whose balcony slavery was abolished; the Tiradentes Palace; the Cathedral, originally built in 1808 as a royal chapel; and the 16th-century Carmelite Monastery.

At Boticário Square, you’ll find charming old buildings adorned with mosaics and surrounded by ancient trees, offering a glimpse into Rio’s artistic past.

Finally, you'll visit the unique Metropolitan Cathedral, capable of holding up to 20,000 people — an architectural marvel of modern Brazil. The tour concludes at the historic Confeitaria Colombo, a beloved café where Rio’s elite have gathered for generations to enjoy afternoon tea and coffee. Don’t miss the pastries — their unforgettable flavor will linger long after your visit! (Food and drinks at Colombo are not included.)
The secrets of Old Rio de Janeiro -4
Tropical islands
(8–10 hours in a shared group with an English-speaking guide; includes transfers and lunch)

Early in the morning, you’ll set off for the Angra dos Reis region, located about 155 km south of Rio de Janeiro (approximately a 3-hour drive). Upon arrival, get ready for a scenic boat trip through tropical islands!

You'll be surrounded by breathtaking landscapes — emerald-green waters and countless picturesque islets scattered across the bay. The Costa Verde, or "Green Coast," where Angra dos Reis is located, is famous for having some of the best beaches in the state of Rio de Janeiro.

It's not uncommon to spot playful dolphins, giant fish, and even sea turtles in the area. During the cruise, the schooner will make several stops for swimming, so you can dive into the warm ocean waters. Later, you’ll enjoy a delicious buffet lunch served on one of the islands — a perfect tropical escape!
Tropical islands -5
Royal Petrópolis
(8–10 hours in a shared group with an English-speaking guide)

Petrópolis is nestled high in the misty mountains, about 60 km from Rio de Janeiro. In the 1830s, Brazil’s last emperor, Dom Pedro II, built a summer palace here to escape the heat of Rio and care for his ailing daughter. It was in this peaceful city that he received the news of the military coup that ended his reign — and it is here that he found his final resting place.

Today, the Imperial Palace has been transformed into a museum, housing a remarkable collection of decorative arts, antique furniture, rare books, elegant statues of saints, and the golden imperial crown — adorned with diamonds and pearls — once placed upon the heads of Brazil’s monarchs during coronation ceremonies.

After the fall of the monarchy, no Brazilian subject was ever again awarded Russia’s highest Imperial order — the Order of St. Andrew the First-Called.

The charm of Petrópolis also lives on in its German heritage — seen in the pointed rooftops, attic windows, and Alpine-style houses that still shape the town’s unique architectural identity.
Royal Petrópolis -6
Favela Tour
(4 hours in a shared group with an English-speaking guide)

Long ago, soldiers once fought a royal battalion on a hill where a favela tree stood. After the war, survivors came to Rio de Janeiro to demand payment and settled on Providência Hill, where they eventually stayed. In memory of their battle, they named the place Favela Hill — giving rise to a name that would come to define hundreds of similar communities across Rio.

Today, there are around 700 favelas in the city. Though often portrayed as dangerous, favelas are far more complex. Along narrow, winding alleys and open sewers live not only drug dealers and petty criminals, but also technicians, office workers — and even landlords renting out rooms. Entry is often controlled by a local "godfather," and the police rarely venture into these areas.

Within the tight-knit streets, lively street markets thrive, offering food, crafts, and everyday goods. Life here operates under its own set of unwritten rules and fierce community bonds.

During this tour, you’ll ride in a jeep through the Rocinha neighborhood, Rio’s largest favela, and gain a unique glimpse into one of the most misunderstood yet vibrant parts of Brazilian life. After the experience, you’ll return to your hotel.
Favela Tour -7
The Botanical Garden
(4 hours, private tour, minimum 2 people, with a  guide)

The Rio de Janeiro Botanical Garden is one of the oldest botanical gardens in the world. It was founded in 1808 by Portuguese King João VI, shortly after his arrival in Brazil from Portugal. Today, it remains a lush oasis of peace and tranquility, perfect for a serene escape from the bustling city.

Majestic century-old palm trees line the garden’s paths, which showcase an extraordinary collection of tropical and subtropical plants from around the globe. Some of the plant species found here are rare or even endangered.

One of the highlights is the Lake of Giant Royal Water Lilies (Lago das Vitórias-Régias), where the enormous floating leaves captivate every visitor. Along the trails leading to the lake, it’s not uncommon to spot playful monkeys in the trees.

With over 5,000 plant species from across the world, the Botanical Garden is rightfully considered one of the most picturesque and enchanting places in Rio de Janeiro.

Dr. Mendis has enjoyed all the countries though he could not do a few tours in Peru which is understandable due to political unrest.
