Local Music | Brazil Packages: Samba and Falls | Brazil Tours | Brazil Vacations | Brazil Travel | Brazil For Less

Explore some of Brazil’s most cherished treasures with this exciting Brazil vacation to Rio de Janeiro and the Iguazú Falls. Both places are synonymous with the exuberance that characterizes the people and landscape of the country. Discover the warmth of the Brazilian people and samba the night away in bustling Rio de Janeiro before heading to the Iguazú Falls, one of South America’s most visited natural wonders.

Start in Rio de Janeiro, where you’ll find countless opportunities to learn about the country’s rich culture and fascinating history. Mingle with the locals and travel up to the gigantic statue of Christ the Redeemer that overlooks the city.

Deeper than the famous Niagara Falls, the Iguazú Falls comprise over 275 waterfalls merging into powerful cataracts, which you can admire in Brazil and Argentina because the falls straddle the borders of both countries. Start with dramatic panoramic views on the Brazilian side before heading out into the heart of the falls on the Argentine side with a boat tour that will take you as close as you can get from the falls without going under.
