Tour Overview
It may take two to Tango, but it only takes you to choreograph the perfect day on an Independence by Globus vacation in Brazil. Walk in wonder on the wild side in the breathtaking Brazilian Amazon. Touch down in Manaus, gateway to Brazil's Amazon, for a private, guided sightseeing tour with a local expert to envision the rubber boom days. Witness the “Meeting of the Waters” where the chocolate-hued Rio Negro flows side by side with the amber Rio Solimões. Meet monkeys, catch piranhas, and explore a native caboclo village with your expert guide to discover timeless traditions of life in the rainforest. See how Rio sizzles with Brazilian barbecue, beaches, and bustling nightlife, bringing you a little closer to heaven atop Corcovado Mountain where the iconic Christ the Redeemer statue stands watch. With the freedom to design your days and fill your nights with Latin flair that ignites your independent spirit, you’ll be swaying to the samba in no time! Go chasing waterfalls in Iguassu National Park, where thunderous cascades plummet 300 feet into Devil’s Throat Canyon. Cross over to Argentina and board the Ecological Jungle Train and explore numerous walkways above and beneath the falls. With the expertise of Local Guides and extra I-time you crave, you’ll find the perfect steps to dance to your own rhythm through Brazil’s breathtaking beauty.
