Most of the luxury holidays in Brazil designed by our True Travel team begin or end with a visit to Rio de Janeiro. This beautiful city with its golden beaches and emerald mountains is a fantastic entry or exit point. Explore the galleries, gardens and gastronomy that Rio is famous for, or walk on the sun-blonde sand of Copacabana or Ipanema Beach and enjoy people-watching heaven. At night, the city sparkles with the lights of samba bars, and the air fills with the sound of music. Our private guides in Rio have their fingers on Rio’s evolving pulse. They know where the best live bands will be playing that night or which new gallery or restaurant the locals are raving about that week.
All of the trips we create for Rio de Janeiro are designed and tailored specifically for you. We create each trip from a blank piece of paper, building the holiday you had dreamed, using our experience, knowledge and contacts to design the ultimate experience.
