Your explorer’s heart will be dancing samba every day as you experience Brazil’s diversity. To begin with, explore Montevideo and its surrounding area during the grape harvest, where you can find out more at wineries* and even help pick the grapes yourself. In Sao Francisco do Sul, you will experience European flair in the cathedral of Joinville*. Parati, too, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the colonial style. A tour to the offshore islands combines a schooner trip, snorkelling and swimming*. Like Christ the Redeemer on Mount Corcovado, Rio de Janeiro will welcome you with open arms – whether on a helicopter flight*, with insights into Brazilian cuisine* or in the imperial city of Petropolis*. Big-city life gives way to the sophisticated charm of Armacao dos Buzios. Discover Porto Seguro in the spirit of Pedro Alvares Cabral and become an explorer yourself in the Jaqueira Indian Reserve*. A walk through the old town* in Salvador, the cradle of the acrobatic dance capoeira, reveals Afro-Brazilian life. Like the many picture-perfect spots on this cruise, Natal with its buggy tour to the dunes and beaches* will remain vividly in your memory.
