The Journey on our Brazil Luxury Tour

Please note that the following itinerary is an example, as all of our journeys are custom-made.

Rio de Janeiro
Upon arrival in Rio de Janeiro, you will be greeted by your personal host and transported by private vehicle to one of Rio's several luxury properties. Choose from among a grand palace on Copacabana beach, a chic, avant-garde hotel in Ipanema, a private, luxury penthouse apartment overlooking the beach, or secluded ocean-view villa.

Spend the day with your personal guide visiting the unique sights and activities of Rio, including the Corcovado, the Sugar Loaf, the colonial churches of old Rio, the Bohemian artist district of Santa Teresa, the Botanical Gardens, and the breathtaking beaches of Copacabana, Ipanema, Leblon and Barra. Enjoy a leisurely lunch at Quinta, perfectly located in a tropical garden atmosphere, and later witness an acrobatic caiopera performance. For the more active or adventurous enjoy hiking in Tijuca, the largest urban forest in the world, or soar above the city in a hang glider for a unique aerial view of Rio. You will then have the opportunity to enjoy a spa treatment at your hotel, gourmet typical meals and experience a selection of samba or bossa nova shows.

Angra dos Reis
Luxury Travel Angra dos Reis Depart Rio de Janeiro by helicopter for Angra dos Reis, taking in the sights of Rio and the Brazilian coast and jungle en route. Upon arrival in Angra dos Reis, your personal guide will take you to your luxurious hotel, where you will stay in a luxurious bungalow facing the sea. Your party will have a speedboat at its disposal and your personal crew will take you to the most remote and breathtaking beaches the archipelago has to offer on a daily basis. You may also choose to visit the picturesque colonial city of Parati , wandering through its narrow streets and exploring old colonial churches.

Imagine deserted beaches immaculate white sand, emerald crystal-clear waters, untouched rainforest. Whether you are looking for a relaxing escape away from the crowds, for extraordinary outdoor adventures - on land and in the water, or for a combination of both, this private journey will be like no other. A team of Blue Parallel hosts, specialized guides, masseuses, chefs, bossa nova and samba performers will ensure that this island escape will provide your party with the experience of a lifetime. On your last day, your helicopter will pick you up and take you directly to the international airport of Rio de Janeiro, just in time for your flight departure.


Optional Extensions
If you have more time, we would suggest combining this luxury trip in Brazil with a luxurious stay at Iguassu Falls, an adventure in the Brazilian Pantanal for some amazing wildlife viewing, a once-in-a-lifetime experience in the Amazon and / or a trip to beautiful Fernando de Noronha off of the northeastern coast of Brazil.

Rio de Janeiro
Few cities are as striking as Rio de Janeiro. Known as the “cidade maravilhosa” (the marvelous city), Rio de Janeiro is a city of incomparable beauty and is a “must-see” destination. Rio folds itself into narrow bits of land between tropical beaches and mountains that leap to 2,500-foot heights. Say “Rio”, and mental images explode - the gigantic statue of the Christ opening its arms to the city on top of the Corcovado, the Sugar Loaf, the persistent rhythm of samba, the dazzling beaches of Ipanema and Copacabana always crowded with beautiful people, and of course the Carnaval.

Angra dos Reis
Envision yourself in a tropical and ecological paradise… With 365 islands, one for each day of the year, and more than 2000 pristine beaches, the archipelago of Angra dos Reis is a paradise for both sea and rainforest lovers. Unknown to mass tourism, Angra dos Reis is only half-an-hour away from Rio by helicopter. It is the dream destination for those looking for deserted pristine beaches, untouched rainforest, picturesque colonial towns and an exclusive escape away from the crowds.
