Sunday 16 Sep - Arrive in the morning and check in to my hotel. Afternoon free. Evening meeting with fellow travellers.
Monday 17 Sep - Leave Rio and head down to the colonial town of Paraty, and spend the afternoon exploring the cobblestone streets and cafés.
Tuesday 18 Sep - The day is free to enjoy island-hopping from beach to beach in the Ilha Grande Bay, snorkelling or a visit to a typical fazenda or farm to sample local cachaça.
Wednesday 19 Sep - Depart Paraty in the morning to Sao Paolo, the fastest growing city in the world and the largest in the Southern Hemisphere, where we change to an overnight bus, arriving in Foz do Iguazu the following morning.
Thur, Fri, Sat 20/21/22 Sep - Spend the next two days plus exploring this tri-border region where Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay meet at the junction of the Parana and Iguazu rivers. The focus is, undoubtedly, the magnificent Foz do Iguaçu, or Iguassu Falls.
On Saturday late afternoon we travel by overnight bus to Bonito.
Sun & Mon 23/24 Sep - Arrive in Bonito by breakfast time. Explore nearby underwater caves and waterfalls, go rafting or snorkelling down the crystal clear Rio de la Prata, visit macaw nesting spots, or simply spend a lazy day by the river.
Tue & Wed 25/26 Sep - We make our way to the Pantanal, an immense wetland area famed for its profuse wildlife, where we take a two-day wildlife excursion to fully appreciate the area’s beauty and bounty. Accommodation is basic but unique - we stay in a large tent and sleep in hammocks.
Thursday 27 Sep - Fly back to Rio for another night in paradise.
Friday 28 Sep - Full day to explore Rio.
Saturday 29 Sep - Most of the day free to explore Rio before a night flight back to Canada via Houston. Arrive back in Whitehorse 9pm on 30 Sep.
Should be a beautiful, amazing journey.
