| Information about this itinerary: |
| Rio de Janeiro (43 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. |
| Paraty (5 Hotels options in Paraty) |  | Located in the state of Rio de Janeiro, the port-city of Paraty (or Parati) is a well-preserved Portuguese colonial and Brazilian imperial town. Strategically located, Paraty experienced a booming era fueled by gold trade and coffee exports, which ended when the mines were depleted and alternate coffee routes were found. Its revival began in the 1970's, when tourists discovered this hidden colonial gem due to a newly built paved road from Rio to Sao Paulo. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
