Hello and welcome to São Paulo! We’ll kick off the next 9 days of pure Carnival madness with a Welcome Dinner with the crew.
São Paulo

We’ll get the Paraty lowdown from our Trip Manager, then the rest of the evening is open for dinner, wandering and full coastal reset mode.

Paraty
You've got another free day to do just what you please. Plus, there's an option to jump into an open-air jeep for waterfalls, Atlantic Forest views, the historic Gold Trail and a taste of local cachaça-making. Dinner’s free tonight — go wherever the cobblestones take you.
Paraty to Rio de Janeiro
After breakfast, we'll leave the cobblestones and sea breeze behind. Time to hit the road for a private transfer to Rio.Rio, we’re coming in hot. The evening’s free to find dinner, get your first feel for the city and let that Rio energy sink in.
