This trip combines Brazil´s natural beauties with a lot of history and culture, visiting
the most important UNESCO World Heritages Sites of Brazilian Colonial Architecture.

Rio de Janeiro, the 'Marvellous City' as its inhabitants, the Cariocas , call it, is indeed
one of the most beautiful and exciting cities in the world. Uniquely situated on a narrow
strip of land between the green mountains and the deep blue sea it is surrounded by
granite based mountains, coves and white sand beaches. 

Founded in 1660, the colonial jewel of Paraty has elegant colonial Portuguese churches
and houses in a relaxed, laid-back atmosphere of a town trapped contentedly in a time
warp, surrounded by beautiful, rugged beaches, numerous islands off the coast, parks
with bromeliad plantations and waterfalls. 

On the old times, when the state of Minas Gerais was the most important extract area
in Brazil, all the gold and diamonds had to be transported to the ports on the coast.
Villages started to grown with very particular baroque architecture, traditions and culture,
along this route. The old royal route includes the historical colonialo town of Ouro Preto,
the first Brazilian town to be declared as a World Heritage Site,  Diamantina, which used
to be a center for diamond mines and Tiradentes, known for its cobblestone streets,
churches, arts, nice restaurants and small familiar pousadas.

Vibrant and colourful Salvador, capital of Bahia, situated in a landscape of green tropical
hills and endless beaches in the “Bahía de Todos los Santos” has over the years witnessed
the mixing of several cultures. Salvador presents some of the most beautiful and well-
preserved buildings of Brazilian 18th century architecture and is also considered the
cultural capital of Brazil, being an explosion of colors, rhythms and fun.

On a hill overlooking the Atlantic and Recife sits Olinda an open-air treasure. Charming, 
picturesque, historic, artsy, fun and friendly, Olinda is full of galleries, artisans' workshops, 
museums and music, and there's always some kind of celebration in the works. 

The historical city of São Luis, funded by French settlers in 1612, the city was conquered
by the Portuguese a few years later. Itmaintains a charming and well preserved colonial
quarter, famous for its typical Portuguese architecture and delicate glazed tiles. A visit  to
the surreal Lençóis Maranhenses, wonderful dunes and lagoons that create an incredible
scenery.
