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.
