Arrive to Manaus, a city in the middle of the Amazon Jungle, where your private guide will welcome you to the country and take you to your hotel.
Located in the historic center of Manaus, the Villa Amazonia has 30 rooms, all facing an indoor garden and natural stone pool. The hotel is set in a restored historic mansion that dates back to the rubber boom era, and offers a restaurant and bar, pool, and fitness center.
Head deeper into the Amazon to the beautiful Anavilhanas Jungle Lodge, located on the bank of the Rio Negro. Settle into your thatched bungalow and begin getting to know this fascinating area.
Anavilhanas Jungle Lodge sits across from Anavilhanas National Park, on the shore of the Rio Negro. Each of its 16 thatched, wooden bungalows are perched upon stilts. They have their own balconies and hammocks, with views of the jungle. Guests dine in a separate thatched lodge, where they savor local produce, including tropical fruits and fresh fish. The lodge also offers a pool and games room.
*Includes: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Your exact activities will vary, but Anavilhanas offers a variety of excursions to discover this natural ecosystem: jungle hikes, seeing wild river dolphins, visiting local villages, boat trips, nighttime canoeing, and more. There is an incredible abundance of plant and animal life in this area, and your guides will help you spot the local species and make the most of your time.
Fly out of the jungle to Rio, a coastal metropolis, where your private guide will take you to your hotel on Copacabana Beach. This is one of the best locations in the city; many of Rio’s best restaurants, boutiques, and cafes are located here and in neighboring Ipanema and Leblon.
The Hotel Arpoador is located right on Ipanema Beach, close to the city's main attractions. Enjoy the hotel's excellent restaurant and rooftop pool and lounge, overlooking Ipanema Beach and Rio's sparkling coastline.

Fly to Foz do Iguaçu, home to magnificent Iguazu Falls. Enjoy a private walking tour of the Brazilian side, exploring the trails and catwalks around the falls. Guests upgrading to the Belmond Das Cataratas also have the unique privilege of being able to see the falls at close range after the park closes as it is the only one located within the Iguazu National Park on the Brazilian side.
The only hotel within Brazil's Iguassu National Park and just a two-minute walk to the Iguassu Falls, this hacienda-style property is a unique and exceptional way to experience this area. Tastefully remodeled by Belmond Hotels (formerly Orient Express), it is the most refined hotel in the vicinity, and in the evening it gives exclusive access to the falls after the park closes and all other visitors have to leave. The hotel has 193 rooms, including 16 suites, and offers two restaurants, a bar, pool, gym, tennis courts, and full-service spa.
Upgrade available: Loi Suites Iguazu , for those who prefer to stay on the Brazilian side or in a boutique jungle lodge
