Tour Overview
Craving adventure that speaks to your independent spirit? From the rhythm of the samba to the rumble in the jungle, this Independence by Globus vacation in Rio de Janeiro and the Brazilian Amazon is a step in the right direction. And, while it takes two to Tango, it only takes you to choreograph the perfect way to spend your day with the I-time you deserve. Start the fun with a trip to the wilds of the Brazilian Amazon. Touch down in Manaus, gateway to Brazil's Amazon, for a private, guided sightseeing tour with a local expert to envision the rubber boom days. Stand at the “Meeting of the Waters” where the chocolate-hued Rio Negro flows side by side with the amber Rio Solimões. Meet monkeys, catch piranhas, and explore a native caboclo village in the breathtaking Brazilian Amazon. Next, discover how Rio sizzles with Brazilian barbecue, beaches, and bustling nightlife, and a breathtaking view atop Corcovado Mountain where the iconic Christ the Redeemer statue stands watch. With the freedom to fill your free time with Latin flair and adventure, you’ll be swaying to the samba in no time!
