Brazil 360°: Rio, Jericoacoara & Maranhão
Looking to head out for Brazil Carnival in February?
The trip in a nutshell
The only requirement for joining this group trip is to leave your shoes behind. Instead, let's embrace flip flops as our motto and explore the wonders of Brazil. Our adventure begins in Rio de Janeiro, a city that has it all: beaches, forests, skyscrapers, charming neighborhoods, favelas, museums, and botanical gardens. We will spend the first three nights in Rio, giving us ample time to visit the city's main attractions before heading north to the state of Maranhao and the city of Sao Luis.
In Sao Luis, we'll experience the beauty of Northern Brazil, where white sand dunes dominate the landscape. Our journey will take us through the Lençóis Maranhenses National Park, along the Rio Preguicas, and to the stunning Barra Grande. We will then unwind for a few days in Jericoacoara, known as the "paradise of Brazil." It's a bohemian and hipster destination that promises fish lunches, refreshing caipirinhas, relaxation in the hammocks of Lagoa Azul, and breathtaking sunsets. This trip is the perfect escape, allowing you to soak up the summer sun, feel the warm breeze, hear the sound of the ocean, and witness the famous and incredible beauty of Brazil!
