Exotic Carnival in Brazil

Day 1

Rio de Janeiro

Arrival at Rio de Janeiro airport, meeting. Transfer to the hotel. Free time.

Rio is green hills, blue skies, rocky mountains, coves, islands, beautiful beaches... the second largest (after São Paulo) city in Brazil and, of course, one of the most beautiful cities in the world. If you arrive before dawn, you will see green hills, rocky mountains, palm trees on both sides of the road and beautiful bays on the way from the airport. At nightfall, the city is surrounded by a shimmering necklace - these are the lights of the favelas! We spend the rest of the day at our discretion. Maybe someone will want to see and feel the exuberant life of the city as soon as possible. And someone wants to be alone with themselves, then there is always a corner for this somewhere between palm trees, sand and ocean waves.

Excursion Meeting the Rivers (carried out on the way to/from the Lodge, possible only with day transfers)

You go to the meeting point of two rivers. The confluence of waters is a unique natural phenomenon that occurs at the confluence of the Rio Negro and Solimões rivers (the name of the upper reaches of the Amazon River). Locals have come up with a more romantic name for this phenomenon - "the wedding of rivers". At this point, the black waters of the Rio Negro merge with the yellow waters of the Solimões River. And it is after this place that the river is called the Amazon on all maps. It is worth noting that although the rivers merge into one, but due to the different density of water and temperature, a clear border between the waters of the two rivers is visible for about 6 kilometers. The color of the water is quite simple to explain: Solimões washes out quite a lot of yellow soil on its way, which gives it its color, and the Rio Negro flows through more rocky terrain and washes out mainly black rocks, which color it. When you move your hand through the water, you can feel the difference in water temperature.

Swimming with pink dolphins.
