Land Programs & Hotels

  • A delightful introduction to this vibrant and captivating city! Visit its major attractions including Sugar Loaf Mountain and the neo-futuristic building Museu do Amanhã or “(Tomorrow´s Museum”. The group will also visit a Samba Factory to learn about the process of creating and producing a parade for Rio’s famed Carnival.

    Day 1

    Upon flying into the Rio International Airport, you will be met and transferred to the Sheraton Grand Rio Hotel & Resort. It is the city´s only beachfront resort with an extensive recreational area, spa and amenities. The lush, landscaped grounds are set above a white-sand beach fronting the tropical South Atlantic and flanked by towering mountains. Your hotel is located approximately a 10-minute drive from Ipanema Beach and 20-25 minutes to Copacabana Beach.

    The remainder of the day is at your leisure, allowing you time to settle in. Meals are on your own today.

    Day 2

    Following a buffet breakfast at your hotel, meet your guide and take a drive downtown for an intriguing tour of Rio. You will see its beautiful buildings dating from colonial and Imperial days sharing space with the very modern architecture of the Brazilians Oscar Niemeyer, Afonso Reidy and many others. Adding to this group of masters, is the Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava who designed the neo-futuristic building Museu do Amanhã, (Tomorrow´s Museum).

    Your tour includes visits to the modern Catholic Cathedral, the ancient and gorgeous Saint Bento Monastery as well as The Tomorrow’s Museum. You will also see the Opera House, the Fine Arts Museum and the National Library.

    Following your introductory tour of Rio de Janeiro, you will head back to your hotel via Rio’s most scenic beach, the Copacabana. Back at your hotel, the remainder of the day is at leisure for you to explore as you wish. Lunch and dinner are on your own.

    Day 3

    Enjoy another buffet breakfast at your hotel before driving to Praia Vermelha. Here, you’ll board a cable car for a ride to the top of Sugarloaf Mountain. The 600-million-year-old granite and quartz mountain was named for its tall cone, supposedly because it resembles sugar that was shaped into a loaf for transport in the 19th century.

    The cable-car ride is in two stages. The first takes you to Urca Hill, where there are lush, fragrant gardens and several scenic lookouts. If you wish to venture even higher, the second segment of the cable car ride will take you to the very top of Sugarloaf, which rises 1300 feet above sea level. From here, you will enjoy mesmerizing views of the city, Guanabara Bay, the ocean and smaller, densely vegetated mountains.

    After descending Sugarloaf, you will drive through a number of pleasant residential areas and eventually stop for a typical Brazilian BBQ lunch.

    Lunch is followed by a drive downtown for a unique backstage visit to a Samba School Pavilion. Here, you will learn about the process of creating and producing a parade for Rio’s famed Carnival. It will be especially fascinating to see how the lavish costumes and floats are made. If you wish, you can try on some of the costumes from last year’s Carnival for a photo.

    Following this entertaining visit, board your vehicle for a drive through the Rebouças tunnel and return to the hotel by late afternoon. On arrival, you still have time to relax at the hotel. Dinner is on your own.

    Day 4

    Enjoy a buffet breakfast at the hotel restaurant before transferring to the port to embark the ship.

The former Head Chef of the Das Cataratas Hotel, Fabio is a talented Brazilian chef who for the past 15 years has been traveling all around the country in search of the flavors that bring this vast and exotic land to life. Fabio will guide you through a six-course meal which pays homage to the heritage of natives, Africans and Europeans that forged Brazil’s flavors in 500 years of history and, of course, while the journey goes on, enjoy fine wine pairings with exquisite South American wines. Throughout the night, the chef will closely and interactively explain the origins of the ingredients and tell curiosities about Brazil’s culinary past.

    DAY 4:

    Following breakfast, you will begin a full-day tour of the Argentine side of the falls.

    After departing the hotel, you will cross the Tancredo Neves Bridge, enjoying its lovely view of the Iguazu Canyon and head towards the Argentine side of Iguaçu National Park. At the entrance, a small train will take you on a tour through the park, making two stops: one to the upper circuit and another to the lower circuit.

    You will follow the walkways to the top of the waterfalls, which provide spectacular views of the falls set among the abundant nature filled with orchids, colorful birds and other wildlife. The highlight of the trip will be visiting the suspended platform at the very brink of the Garganta do Diabo waterfall (Devil’s Throat), the largest of the waterfalls in the park.

    A stop will be made for lunch at the Melia Iguazu Restaurant located inside the hotel Gran Melia on the Argentine side.

    Proceed next on a Macuco Safari tour. Set off in open jeep-towed wagons, allowing for an unobscured view of the scenery along the trail. During the three-kilometer (two-mile) stretch through the jungle, guides draw your attention to the flora and fauna of the park, sharing their expert knowledge.

    The second stage of the tour is an optional 600-meter (2,000 feet) hike, which leads up to the Macuco Falls waterfall. Tumbling down from a height of approximately 20 meters (65 feet), it’s the perfect spot for a refreshing dip on days of intense heat. Access the falls via a stairway carved into an ancient rock.

    Your final stop is the Macuco Safari dock on the Brazilian side of the Iguassu River. The boat then departs upriver, passing through the canyon and along the rapids at a comfortable speed, allowing you to appreciate of the stunning scenery.

    After this amazing adventure, return to your hotel to freshen up before dinner.

    Note: the jeep ride can be bumpy, walking to the falls includes steps and natural trails. Guests wishing to take a dip at the falls should wear their bathing suit and carry a towel.

    For guests who do not wish to participate in this portion of the program, they can wait at the Melia Iguazu Hotel following lunch.

    At the end of this adventurous day, you will return to the hotel on the Brazilian side of the falls.

    NOTE: When crossing the border between Brazil and Argentina, changing vehicles may be required due to border-crossing regulations. There may be a wait at the border depending on how many others are crossing at the same time. Visas are required for Brazil – please see documentation notes further below.

    Day 5

    After breakfast at the hotel and check out, you will transfer to the Iguazu Airport for the flight back to Rio de Janeiro. A boxed lunch to eat en-route will be provided at the hotel.

    On the way, you will stop at the Parque das Aves (Bird Park) to experience the native flora and fauna firsthand by following trails through the forest. You will have the exclusive opportunity for an up-close view of native Brazilian bird species, some of which are endangered. This is the biggest bird sanctuary in South America with more than 800 species. It is also an internationally recognized rescue and conservation center for birds.

    Upon arrival in Rio de Janeiro, you will be met and transferred to port for embarkation.

You will also ride a cable car to a lookout that presents sweeping views over the city and bay.

    The estate was the setting for significant historical occurrences associated to Chile’s independence. General Bernardo O’Higgins and 120 soldiers took refuge there after a battle against the forces of the Spanish crown.

As you drive through the city’s steep winding streets, you will pass the Parliament building, Fisherman’s Wharf, Plaza Sotomayor and the Naval Academy. You will also ride a cable car to a lookout that presents sweeping views over the city and bay.

    After lunch at a local restaurant, proceed towards Chile’s capital city, Santiago, where you will be dropped off at your hotel for check in. The afternoon is at your leisure and in the evening join your group for dinner at the hotel.

    Day 2

    After breakfast, you will board a coach and begin a tour that will include the most important highlights of historical and modern Santiago, including the presidential palace, San Francisco Church and the Plaza de Armas with a visit to the Cathedral. You will continue through the newer residential areas of the city and stop at the top of San Cristobal Hill for a breathtaking view of Santiago.

    You will then proceed to the Santa Rita Vineyard, located just 45 minutes away from Santiago. Placed in the foothill zone of Alto Jahuel, in Buin, the vineyard is surrounded by an extraordinary natural environment. The tour will reveal the characteristic wines produced here.

    Afterwards, you will pause for lunch at Restaurant Doña Paula. This national monument honors Paula Jaraquemada, who owned the main house of the Santa Rita Estate more than 200 years ago.

    The estate was the setting for significant historical occurrences associated to Chile’s independence. General Bernardo O’Higgins and 120 soldiers took refuge there after a battle against the forces of the Spanish crown. The winery’s Santa Rita 120 line of products was named to honor those 120 patriots.

    After lunch, you will return to your hotel in Santiago. The evening will be at your leisure with dinner on your own.

    Day 3

    After breakfast, you will enjoy a scenic drive towards the Andes mountain range for a tour of Portillo, which is considered one of the best ski resorts of the world. Along the way, you will pass through the fertile Aconcagua Province and stop briefly at the monument to the Battle of Chacabuco, which signifies the independence of Chile.

    As you begin your journey into the Andes, weather permitting, you may be able to see Mount Aconcagua in the distance. As you climb higher, you will surely be impressed as the mountainous scenery unfolds and the guide explains the natural history of the Andes.

    Portillo is located at high above sea level next to the Laguna del Inca with its emerald green waters. The World Ski Championship was held here in 1966 – the only one held in South America until 1990. You will stop at the lake for photos and to enjoy lunch at a restaurant before returning to Santiago.

    Back at the hotel, the evening will be at your leisure with dinner is on your own.

    Day 4

    Following breakfast and check-out, you will be transferred to the Arturo Merino Benitez International Airport in Santiago based on the flight details provided. Should you have a late flight, luggage storage will be available at the hotel until your transfer time.
