11 days · 10 nights
Manaus → Anavilhanas Archipelago → Campo Grande → The Pantanal → Iguazu Falls
You fly into Manaus and head up the Rio Negro to a jungle lodge in the Anavilhanas archipelago for canoe trips, forest hikes and night safaris. Next you fly to Campo Grande and on to a secluded Pantanal lodge to track jaguars with a conservation team. Two days at Iguazu Falls, seen from Argentina and Brazil, close the journey.
You arrive to sunset drinks on Sugarloaf and see Christ the Redeemer at dawn before the public arrives. Then Carnival takes over, with street bands, a samba school's warehouse on the eve of the parade and a black-tie ball in a handmade mask. A samba lesson, a VIP box at the Sambadrome and a private cruise on Guanabara Bay complete your stay.
