6 days in Rio de Janeiro Itinerary

Bustling with samba music and all-night street parties, no city encapsulates the spirit of Brazil better than Rio de Janeiro.

Change things up with these side-trips from Rio de Janeiro: Petropolis (Museu Casa de Santos Dumont, Imperial Museum, &more). There's still lots to do: kick back and relax at Praia de Ipanema, take in the local highlights with Walking tours, explore and take pictures at Leblon Beach, and tour the pleasant surroundings at Copacabana Beach.
