**Please note that flight times may vary.
In the early 16th century, the Portugese first arrived at the site where Rio de Janeiro now stands. What they found was a still-watered bay surrounded by a plentiful and lovely landscape. It was love at first sight. The Portugese promptly built a fortress at the entrance of the bay to ward off those attracted to their tropical paradise, which they called Sao Sebastiao do Rio de Janeiro. By 1768 Rio had developed and grown to such an extent that the government was transferred from the previous capital, Salvador, Bahia. Rio was then, as now, a city of intensive trading activities. Its primary asset, Guanabara Bay was not just a beautiful landmark, but also a natural port through which gold and diamonds, mined in the neighbouring Minas Gerais Mountains, flowed. The gems, used to adorn the ladies of the Portugese Court, and the as yet rare sugar cane were important commodities in the European markets of this time. When King Joao VI of Portugal landed in Rio, in 1808 along with his court and entire entourage, he fell in love with what he saw and experienced, and subsequently helped Rio to become one of the most important political centres in Brazillian history.
Brazil acheived independence from Portugal in 1822 and became an empire. Some years later in 1889 the city of Rio enthusiastically witnessed the Proclamation of the Republic of Brazil. Rio de Janeiro has evolved continuously since, remaining a centre for business and the arts while becoming one of the world's most dynamic cities. Upon arrival at Rio de Janeiro our guide will meet you and transfer you to your hotel. Accommodation: Debret Hotel

Here the statue of Christ the Redeemer overlooks Rio and it's famous bay. The Corcovado peak stands at 2297 feet above sea level. Also during the afternoon you'll become orientated with more of Rio de Janeiro. Accommodations: Debret Hotel

27.09.07 (B) Rio de Janeiro - Parati
One way coach transfer from Rio de Janeiro to Parati. About 300km from Rio on the BR-101 is Costa Verde's main attraction, the town of Parati, where the mountains kiss the sea. There are hundreds of islands, including Ilha Grande at the Restinga de Marambaia, which soften the sea for easy swimming and boating. The calm waters, coupled with the natural ports and coves allowed safe passage for Portugese ships to transport sugar cane, litter, and, gold to Europe. It also protected pirates, who found a safe haven on Ilha Grande. There is an air of prosperity in Parati, as there is in Buzios, yet it has a much more democratic feel to it, and by and large provides a more satisfying experience than it's chic counterpart on the Costa do Sol. Parati is a perfect place to simply to wander aimlessly, each turn of the corner bringing another picturesque view. The town's small enough that there's no danger of getting lost and, no matter what time of the day or night, you can feel pretty confident that you won't be a victim of an assault. Boats leave from the docks around midday for cruises to see the beaches and island or small motorboats can also be hired. Accommodation: Pousada da Oro
28.09.07 (B) Parati
Different from other Brazillian colonial cities, the Paraty architecture has character, orginality and definition forming an harmonious architectural set of the XVIII century. Inhabited since 1650, Parati (or more correctly, Villa de Nossa Senhora dos Remedios de Paraty) has remained fundamentally unaltered since it's heyday as a staging post for the eighteenth-century trade in Brazillian gold, passing from Minas Gerais to Portugal. Before white settlement, the land had been occupied by Guaiana Indians, and the gold routes followed old Indian trails down to Parati and it's sheltered harbour. Inland raids and pirate attacks neecessitated the establishment of a new route linking Minas Gerais directly with Rio de Janeiro, and, as trade was diverted to Rio, Parati's fortunes declined. Apart from a short-lived coffee-shipping boom in the nineteenth century, Parati remained hidden away off the beaten track, quietly stagnating but intact. Nowadays, though, UNESCO considers Parati to represent one of the world's most important examples of Portugese colonial architecture, and the entire city has been elevated to the status of a national monument. Today, Parati is very much alive, with its population of 15,000 involved in fishing, farming and tourism. The town centre was one of Brazil's first planned urban projects, and it's narow cobbled streets, out of bounds to motorized transport, are bordered by houses built around courtyards, adorned with brightly coloured flowers and alive with hummingbirds. The cobbles of the streets are arranged in channels to drain off storm water and allow the sea to enter and wash the streets at high tides and full moon. (Entrance tickets paid locally) Accommodation: Pousada da Oro
29.09.07 (B) Parati - Rio de Janeiro - Iguazu Falls

The deep flowing waters of the river fall from a height of 70 meters through 275 falls over 2.7kms.

The National Park is full of exotic subtropical vegetation which surrouds the falls and has 2000 plant species - gigantic trees, ferns, lianas, orchids - 400 bird species - parrots, colibris, toucans - jaguars and Yacares (caimans).

Approaching from the north, you can appreciate the mountain backdrop of the holiday capital of Argentinian Patagonia, Bariloche, or San Carlos de Bariloche, to give it it's full titile, spread along the dry southeastern shores of Lago Nahuel Huapi. It banks up against the slopes of Cerro Otto, behind which rear the silky crests of the Cerro Cathedral massif, but this view is obscured the closer you get to town. Everything in town faces the lake, Northern Patagonia's heavyweight: an impressive expanse of water that can seem like a benign Mediterranean one moment and a froth of seething whitecaps the next. Before the incursions of either Mapuche or white settlers, the Nahuel Huapi area was the domain of the Poyas, the Vuriloches, the Pehuelches, and the Puelches, who navigated on the lake. These groups used the region's mountain passes to conduct trade with their western, Mapuche counterparts. The discovery of these routes became an obsession of early Spanish explorers in Chile, many of whom were desperate to hunt down the fabulous wealth of the City of the Caesars that was rumourned to exist in these parts. Early expeditions were frustrated and knowledge of the passes' whereabouts reverted to being a close indigenous secret until the late seventeenth century. Upon arrival at San Carlos de Bariloche airport, you wil be met by our guide and transferred to your hotel in downtown. Accommodation: Nevada Hotel
