Brazil Spring Break

Join Heavenly Matched Travel for an absolutely spectacular 11-day Annual Spring Break Getaway to the vibrant heart of Brazil! We have curated a flawless, luxury-infused itinerary featuring round-trip airfare from Houston, premium 4 and 5-star hotel accommodations, internal inter-air flights, and breathtaking included tours. Prepare to be mesmerized by the kinetic energy of Rio de Janeiro from your beach-front hotel on Copacabana, feel the earth-shaking power of Iguazu Falls up close, and immerse yourself in the deep, rhythmic Afro-Brazilian heritage of Salvador de Bahia. From mouth-watering authentic Churrascaria dinners to sun-drenched coastal views, this is South America at its absolute finest.

Your South American escape begins! We depart Houston on our included international flight bound for the tropics. Sit back, relax, and enjoy complimentary in-flight service as we journey toward the marvelous coast of Brazil.

Welcome to Rio de Janeiro! Upon landing, our private guide will transfer you to your stunning hotel located directly on the golden sands of world-famous Copacabana Beach. Settle in and soak up the sun before we gather this evening for an extravagant Welcome Dinner. Prepare your appetite for a traditional Brazilian 'Churrascaria' (Steakhouse) experience accompanied by a dazzling local cultural show!

After a hearty included breakfast, we embark on a spectacular guided tour of Rio's greatest wonders. We ride the scenic cog railway through the dense Tijuca Rain Forest up to the summit of Corcovado to stand beneath the awe-inspiring Christ the Redeemer statue. Following a delicious group lunch, we take the thrilling glass-walled cable car to the peak of Sugarloaf Mountain, offering unparalleled panoramic views of Guanabara Bay and the sweeping city skyline.

Today is entirely yours to design! Spend the day lounging on Copacabana or Ipanema beach, sip fresh coconut water, or browse local boutiques. For the adventurous, optional excursions include sailing the bay, exploring the lush Botanical Gardens, or taking a historical tour of nearby Petropolis.

We bid a temporary farewell to Rio and board our included inter-air flight heading south to the magnificent Iguazu Falls. Upon arrival, we transfer to our premium accommodations located perfectly to explore the surrounding lush national park. Enjoy a relaxing evening dining at the hotel or taking a tranquil walk through the tropical grounds.

Prepare to be humbled by the sheer force of nature. Our guided tour takes us to the spectacular precipice of the falls, walking along elevated jungle boardwalks that lead directly to the roaring Devil's Throat. The mist and rainbows created by the crashing water are truly unforgettable. The afternoon is yours to relax or visit the incredible nearby Bird Park sanctuary.

Following breakfast, we fly north to the historic and culturally rich coastal city of Salvador de Bahia. Known as the rhythmic soul of Brazil, Salvador is famous for its vibrant colonial architecture and deep African roots. Tonight, we celebrate our arrival with a specially curated Afro-Brazilian welcome dinner.

Step back in time during our comprehensive full-day city tour. We will explore the cobblestone streets of the famous Pelourinho district, a UNESCO World Heritage site overflowing with pastel-colored buildings and ornate churches. We will also visit the acclaimed Afro-Brazilian Museum to deeply understand the heritage that shaped this unique region.

Your final full day in Salvador is yours to enjoy at your own pace. Shop for intricate local crafts, taste the incredible street food like 'acarajé', or take an optional schooner cruise out to the idyllic islands dotting the Bay of All Saints.

We take our final internal flight back to the sparkling shores of Rio de Janeiro. We will check into our hotel for one last glorious night in Brazil. This evening, gather with your newfound friends for a joyous Farewell Dinner to toast the memories of a lifetime.

Enjoy one last Brazilian breakfast before we transfer to the airport for our journey back to Houston. You will arrive home carrying the vibrant spirit, rich history, and unforgettable beauty of South America with you forever!
