Brazil's Rio, Iguazu Waterfalls & Amazon

About This Tour

Rio's icons, the Brazilian side of Iguazu Falls, and three nights deep in an Amazon lodge — a complete, entirely Brazil-based introduction to the country's headline sights. This route stays entirely within Brazil — even the Iguazu Falls day (day 5) crosses briefly to the Argentine side of the border and returns the same afternoon to your hotel in Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil, so every night's accommodation is Brazilian.

Frequently Asked Questions

Only for a few hours on day 5, when the group crosses to the Argentine side of Iguazu Falls for the classic Devil's Throat view — you're back at your Brazilian hotel that same evening, so every night of the trip is spent in Brazil.

Three domestic flights — Rio to Foz do Iguaçu, Foz do Iguaçu to Manaus, and Manaus back to Rio — all included.

It's a genuine jungle lodge, not a hotel — expect simple rooms, mosquito nets, and an authentic Amazon setting rather than luxury amenities.
