We will be spending the day visiting Angra, located in the heart of an island paradise south of Rio. Sail on the turquoise waves through the islands while making stops to enjoy swimming on the beautiful and crystal clear waters. You’ll have an opportunity to explore the beaches, white sand, green colors of the Atlantic rain forest, swim, relax, and take beautiful pictures. You’ll also enjoy a delicious lunch during the tour.

Later on in the evening will all catch back up to opt in for the ultimate experience of Rio’s vibrant culture – a performance that combines Brazilian samba with folklore – in advance. This will be an amazing experience, especially for first-time Brazilian visitors as it is a high-octane show that promises to deliver all of the colorful chaos of Carnival in Rio de Janeiro.

While you cook, quench your thirst with 2 mouthwatering alcoholic drinks: the world-renowned Caipirinha cocktail and a Brazilian favorite, the coconut-based Batida de Coco cocktail.
