| Information about this itinerary: |
| Rio de Janeiro (44 Hotels options in Rio de Janeiro) |  | Rio de Janeiro is the capital city of the State of Rio de Janeiro, and also Brazil's capital from 1763 to 1961. Blessed with a wonderful natural setting wedged between mountains and the sea, watched from above by Christ the Redeemer atop Corcovado Mountain, and surrounded by tropical forests and lagoons, Rio is one of the world's top tourist destinations. It is the gateway to beach resorts such as Buzios, colonial Paraty, and Angra do Reis. |
| Iguassu Falls (15 Hotels options in Iguassu Falls) |  | Designated Natural Heritage of Humanity in 1986 by UNESCO, the Iguassu (Brazil)/Iguazu (Argentina) Falls are a spectacular sight. Shared by two countries, the falls are formed by 275 separate waterfalls, ranging in height from 40 meters to 100 meters and are surrounded by 225 thousand hectares of tropical forests with rare and endangered species of fauna and flora. Plenty of activities are available. The Falls can be visited all year long but extended rain is common in September and October. |
| Ouro Preto (2 Hotels options in Ouro Preto) |  | Ouro Preto (meaning Black Gold) was founded as a mining town, acquiring fame and status during the 18th century's gold rush. Subsequently, it became a major center during what is known as Brazil's golden age, leaving an important cultural legacy. The city started an inevitable decline in the 19th century, but numerous churches, bridges and fountains remain as a testimony to its past prosperity and the exceptional talent of the Baroque sculptor Aleijadinho. |
| Belo Horizonte (5 Hotels options in Belo Horizonte) |  | Belo Horizonte, the capital of the State of Minas Gerais, was founded in 1897 and was modeled after Washington, DC, although recent urban expansion has strayed from the original design. It is also the gateway to the colonial cities of Minas Gerais. The third largest city in Brazil and its second industrial center, it enjoys the reputation of one the cities with the highest quality of life in South America. |
| Brasilia (9 Hotels options in Brasilia) |  | The greatest attraction to Brasilia is its architecture, with the National Congress, the Cathedral, the President's Palace, and the Ministries of Foreign Affairs among some of the most dazzling buildings of the modern age. Built in the center of Brazil as its administrative capital, the city was designed by two world famous architects, Oscar Niemeyer and Lucio Costa. Brasilia also boasts one of the best yearly climates in Brazil. |
| Salvador da Bahia (21 Hotels options in Salvador da Bahia) |  | Salvador, the capital city of the Bahia State, is an unique place where a magical air intermingles with reality to form a unique harmony. It begins with religious syncretism and continues to its striking setting of narrow streets and steep hills, forming the upper and lower city. The region has a perfect warm climate, rich folklore, and a fertile environment. |
