Independent departures available daily From exciting Rio where you might catch a glimpse of ‘that girl from Ipanema’ to the magnificent Iguassu waterfalls and the depth of the Amazon Rain Forest, then add the rich Afro-Latino culture of Salvador da Bahia and the colonial atmosphere of Ouro Preto.. The history of Brazil is as diverse as its natural attractions. Brazil has always had a magic attraction. At first it was gold, then rubber and later coffee, next came the allure of the Samba rhythm, the endless beaches and the Amazon jungle. But even more enduring is the happiness and spontaneity of its people. Certainly a land of contrasts.
