Two Belmond icons, one unforgettable Brazil
A glass of champagne with a view of Copacabana. The sun slowly setting behind Sugarloaf Mountain. A few days later, the impressive sound of hundreds of waterfalls, while the national park is still closed to other visitors. Brazil has many faces, but on this exclusive tour, you’ll discover two that particularly capture the imagination.
Your adventure begins in Rio de Janeiro, where golden beaches, green mountain peaks, and the city’s vibrant atmosphere set the scene. From a helicopter, you’ll admire the city’s spectacular setting, while aboard a private yacht you’ll discover a whole new perspective. In between, you’ll sample Brazilian cuisine, ranging from refined Michelin-starred dishes to local specialties with a surprising twist.
Next, you’ll trade the bustling coast for the tropical wilderness of Iguaçu. Here, waterfalls of unparalleled beauty await, hidden amid the lush rainforest. You’ll admire them from the air, hike past impressive lookouts, and enjoy special moments when most visitors have already left.
What makes this trip truly exceptional? You’ll stay at two legendary Belmond properties. Two destinations, two unique stays, and one exclusive introduction to Brazil.

Our highlight from the trip
“What makes Hotel das Cataratas so special to me is that you stay right in the middle of the national park and can admire the waterfalls even before the first visitors arrive. Having such a wonder of the world almost entirely to yourself is a privilege that very few hotels can offer.”
Axel Aedens, Luxury Travel Advisor
