See Do Stay
Go deep into the city that glitters
Tropical landscapes and samba dancing until
dawn ensure Rio de Janeiro is the Brazilian
tourism capital. With a rich history and
culture, all tastes are sated. From carnival
to Corcovado, vibrant colours and
breathtaking vistas showcase Rio at its best,
with Christ the Redeemer its crowning jewel.
Be awed by nature
The Iguazú Falls are the most impressive
sight in Argentina and Brazil. Considered a
natural wonder, they’re made up of a chain of
hundreds of waterfalls across three kilometres.
Discover their power up close or from a
private helicopter, then encounter a rainforest
teeming with colourful flora and fauna.
Explore the wetlands
Brazil’s Pantanal is the world’s largest
freshwater wetland. Here myriads of exotic
plants and the biggest concentration of large
animals in the New World meet. Jaguar, giant
otter, anaconda and caiman are just some of
the unique resident species. Planning is key,
the weather and seasons dictate daily life.
See two cultures converge
Take part in a capoeira class and start a
journey to the point African heritage meets
Brazilian history, culture and traditions.
This martial art is a skilful dance, performed
to the berimbau (a bowed single-stringed
instrument) and is considered a complete
workout for the body and soul.
Sail Brazil by schooner
From Rio, cruise along the coast or to one of
Brazil’s many deserted islands with a tropical
mimosa in your hand. Revel in beautiful,
vivid landscapes from Guanabara Bay,
including views over the city’s skyline,
lush green hills and the unmistakable
silhouette of Sugarloaf Mountain.
Shadow the elusive Jaguar
With its iconic strength, beauty and skill,
the jaguar is deified by many native South
American cultures. Now isolated to specific
areas of the continent, lucky spotters may
strike gold in the beautiful freshwater Pantanal
wetland. Our private safari leads you in search
of this elegant and majestic creature.
Belmond Copacabana Palace
Planted on the golden sands of Rio’s most
famous beach, this Mediterranean-style,
Joseph-Gire-designed Art Deco wonder has
epitomised Brazilian seaside glamour since
1923. It houses three of Rio’s finest restaurants,
– Pergola, Michelin-starred MEE and
Restaurant Hotel Cipriani.
Belmond Hotel Das Cataratas
Exclusively positioned in the Brazilian Iguazú
National Park, this hotel relishes tropical
nature. A recent refurbishment reinforces
Portuguese interpretations of local flora and
fauna by Brazilian artist Ludmilla de Montes,
alongside traditional and bespoke azulejos or
‘painted tiles’.
Ponta dos Ganchos
This 25 freestanding-suite resort sits on a
privately owned peninsula, surrounded by
the Emerald Coast and is one of Brazil’s most
exclusive hideaways. Laze in a luxury cabana
with a hammock overlooking the sea or head
to Arvoredo Marine Biological Reserve, one of
Brazil’s best scuba-diving spots.
