You bet a good Pisco Sour (Peruvian drink) will sooth the nerves.
2nd
Lima / Cusco / Sacred Valley
After an early breakfast we catch a flight to Cusco and from there we immediately go to Sacred Valley. Cusco is at a height of 3200mts and Sacred Valley at 2900mts. That’s the reason why we prefer to reach Sacred valley immediately so that we can get used to the lowered oxygen levels.
En route to the Sacred Valley of the Incas we tour by the traditional town of Chincheros and the ruins of Ollantaytambo, a well preserved, Inca site in the Urubamba Valley. Lunch is included
(1breakfast, 1 box lunch)
3rd
Machu Picchu
In the morning, transfer to the train station and board the train for a journey to the fabled 'Lost City of the Incas' arguably the most important archaeological site in South America. The Machu Picchu Citadel was built by the Incas as a favored retreat for Inca nobility, and remarkably until 1911, it lay hidden from the world amongst dense jungle covered mountains. Following a guided tour of the ruins, enjoy lunch and afternoon return to Cusco.
(1 breakfast, 1 lunch)

If you couldn't get up for breakfast don't worry, I'm sure it's time for lunch already. Start in the afternoon to get to know a little bit of this South American jewel. It’s a perfect cosmopolitan town with all that a big city offers.

We will have a lunch stopover at one of the smaller, but, pristine beaches – Toque Toque.
Do our check-in and immediately get refreshed by a dip in the Atlantic Ocean.
Ilha Bela is a beautiful city with an enchanting nightlife. So I guess we have no other option! Party anyone?

7th
Ilha Bela
Just one side of the island is accessible by vehicles. To get to the other side there is a raft ride and a 4x4 Land Rover trek cutting through the Atlantic forest, on the way back. Guaranteed fun! Also that side of the island has a lot of nearly private beaches where one can shed their shyness and be themselves, exploring the white sands, turquoise green waters and fabulous snorkeling experiences.
During the day we visit the beach of Castellanos and a couple of others.
Lunch would be on one of the beaches.
By 8pm we are back in the hotel. Have dinner and rest. Tomorrow we start our travel to Rio de Janeiro., visiting Paraty on the way

Christ awaits us with open arms. Selfie time!!!!!!!! After that we cable cart ourselves to the Sugar Loaf. Get amazed by the spectacular view that only Rio can offer.
A small tram ride to the city of Santa Terezinha, where lunch is blissful with Amazonian seafood.
On our way back after some local shopping, we stop by the most talked off beaches in the world Copacabana and Ipanema.
In the night we opt out from umpteen number of pubs, restaurants and typical botecos for bites and drinks. Tonight we sing and dance!!!

10th
Rio de Janeiro
After breakfast……..guys tighten your belts coz, we gonna hang glide over Copacabana today.
This truly is one of the most beautiful experiences of Rio you can have.
This is optional and for those easy going guys we have tons of other options like going to the center of Rio and getting to know the day to day lives of `cariocas´ (people from Rio are called Cariocas), or visit beautiful botanical gardens, museums or the local theater which has amazing colonial architecture. One great place to visit is the Botanical Gardens of Rio. Few places in the world boast of a tropical rain forest right in the middle of the city
We have all options for lunch ….like street food (Acaraje is our favorite! Its basically Brazilian vada), or any of the umpteen number of restaurants that offer the whole range of Brazilian and international cuisine.
Nothing like relaxing on Ipanema after lunch.
Head back to the hotel by 6pm coz, the nights young! Freshen up. Wear your Latin lover t-shirts and lets hit the night at Rio Scenario. One of the 100 places to visit in the world according to CNN.
This is Rio culture at its best. You will fall in love with this place.

Foz do Iguaçu
After breakfast, we bid farewell to Rio and take a flight to Foz do Iguaçu.
Welcome to Gandalf land! Oh yeah, one of the best waterfalls in the world is moaning to be explored.
After check-in in, we explore the city. It's a small but exciting place. Border town, so lots of foreigners like Argentines and Paraguayans.
We enjoy a cozy and very beautiful bird park to get closer to them Blue Macaws.
At night we have dinner at this great place where there is a wonderful show of dance and music from all 3 countries – Brazil Argentina and Paraguay. IF we can’t see carnival, at least we can get a glimpse of it.
(1 Breakfast)
12th
Iguazu Falls
Eleanor Roosevelt after she saw the Iguaçu falls exclaimed `Poor Niagra!´
Time for an aerial view of one of the `new natural seven wonders of the world´. 257 individual falls over 2.7 km.
Chalo Helicopter ride!! It is optional but I feel it’s a must do, since we have come so far.
Now that we have had a birds-eye view, why don't we get closer? Explore by foot the whole Brazilian side of the falls. The sheer energy will give you goose bumps.
Near enough......I guess we can get a bit closer. Anyone for a raft ride down the river to the falls? Ok....let's go. Be prepared to get wet……soaked rather! This will be etched in your memory forever!
Dinner at Capitão bar. Always a great crowd!!!
