About the itinerary

This route reveals a more intimate side of Brazil, where the Atlantic Forest meets the coast and historic towns move at a slower, distinctly southern rhythm. After the country’s great icons, the route shifts towards a Brazil of smaller places, deep forest and a coastline that still feels wonderfully removed.

Trip Highlights

  • Closer to Europe, deeper into the South: TAP’s direct Lisbon–Curitiba flight brings Europe closer to the region where Gondwana’s story began, making Paraná an even more natural part of a wider journey through Brazil

  • An 1885 railway through the Atlantic Forest: The 110-km Serra do Mar route crosses more than 41 bridges and 13 tunnels through one of Brazil’s largest continuous preserved areas of Atlantic Forest, before the landscape drops towards the Paraná coast.

  • 275 falls, 2.7 kilometres, two countries: Iguaçu stretches across Brazil and Argentina, with 800 metres of the system on the Brazilian side and 1.9 km across the border. Two national parks give clients two markedly different perspectives of the same natural wonder.
