Days 1-3
Two nights in vibrant Rio de Janeiro

Days 4-6
Three nights in historic Paraty
In pretty Paraty with its cobbled streets and white washed buildings you’ll be surrounded by gorgeous beaches and a wealth of wildlife. Take to the sea in a speedboat to venture along Paraty’s pristine Costa Verde with its deserted coves, tiny islands and fringe of rainforest, before experiencing a sustainable farming tour of Fazenda Bananal.

Where you could stay
Sustainable farming tour of Fazenda Bananal

Tour this sustainable farmhouse, with its rammed earth walls and stone columns made with whale oil. Explore the plantations, orchards, vegetable gardens and the various corners of the farm and unveil the history of the key elements of Brazilian food, including sugarcane, sugar and cassava flour.
Here, you can explore the Fazenda Bananal vegetable garden, which covers an area measuring half a soccer field, where they produce about 60 different products throughout the year, including leafy greens, vegetables, fruits and herbs/spices. The techniques used to produce food are aligned with the principles of agroecology, without the use of pesticides and chemical fertilisers, seeking a balance between productivity and respect for the environment. The products are harvested daily, always in the morning, so that their quality and flavour are maintained, straight from the field to the restaurant table.
Accompanied by an ornithologist you will also walk the trails through the farm and observe and identify birds from the Atlantic Forest.
Days 7-10
Rural beach life in Trancoso
Next up is Trancoso, where you’ll spend five days of combining relaxing days by the beach, with activities and discovery in the likes of the Pau Brazil National Park, following rugged cycling trails, spotting abundant birdlife or heading on a kayaking voyage along the water. For a more cultural experience, you can also take time to visit an Indigenous Pataxó Village, to learn more about the people who have been here since the 16th century.

Day 11
A final night in Rio de Janeiro
Fly back to the city of Rio de Janeiro for the final night of your family holiday, where your trip will come full circle, and you can relax before returning home.
