| Day | Destination | Description |
| Day 1 | Rio de Janeiro | Few cities can compete with Rio's dramatic setting - from the long white beach of Copacabana, to the peak of Sugar Loaf Mountain and the open arms of Christ the Redeemer. |
| Days 2-5 | Salvador | Marvel at the colourful streets of Salvador and see the living heart of the samba tradition. There is time to take an optional excursion to a sea turtle sanctuary, have a capoeira (fight-dance) lesson, witness a candombe dance ritual or take a boat out into the sparkling bay. |
| Days 6-7 | Olinda | Discover Portugese and Dutch colonial influences in historic Recife and Olinda. Experience friendly Brazilian hospitality during a relaxing couple of days in these small towns. |
| Days 8-9 | Natal | The vast expanses of sand dunes in the Rio Grande do Norte call for adventure - why not explore them by sandboarding or by whizzing around in a dune buggy? |
| Days 10-16 | Rio Grande do Norte/Ceara | Journey to the Terra da Luz, the Land of Light, so-called for the constant sunshine it enjoys. Travel through small beach towns and fishing villages in this seaside paradise. There is the option to take a cruise on a jangada, a traditional sailboat, or try windsurfing or kiteboarding for a faster pace. |
| Days 17-19 | Piaui/Maranhao | Explore the towns, sand dunes and crystal lakes of the remarkable Parnaiba Delta. Then travel to the attractive World Heritage Site of Sao Luis. |
