Quick Itinerary
Paraguay to Brazil 14-day Itinerary
Days 1-2 UK - Asuncion
On Day 1, you will depart the UK on your overnight international flight to Asuncion, where the afternoon will be spent discovering the city’s highlights. A combination of modern and colonial architecture, Asuncion has plenty to offer. See the National Pantheon of Heroes, the final resting ground of some of Paraguay’s greatest historic figures, and the Museo Casa de la Independencia, an unassuming 18th century house filled with colonial era furnishings, and the base for important conspiracies that led to Paraguay’s independence from Spain in 1811. Also visit the historical 19th century train station housing antique railcars and the oldest locomotive on the continent.
Day 3-4 Encarnacion
Depart the city and head south to Encarnacion, located on the banks of the Paraná River. Paraguay’s most southerly city is known as 'the pearl of the south' and your first afternoon will be spent discovering why. Visit the Plaza de Armas, the Stairs of San Pedro, the Sanctuary of the Virgin of Itacuá and the waterfront, a hub for locals enjoying water sports and pretty sunsets.
On your second day visit the Jesuit ruins of Trinidad del Paraná and Jesús de Tavarangué, some of the best examples in the country. Founded in 1706, Trinidad was one of the most important and ambitious mission complexes of the 30 established along the Rio de la Plata. Continue to Cuidad del Este, on the border with Brazil and Argentina for the night.
Day 5 Monday Falls & Itaipú Dam
Meaning 'stolen water' in the native Guaraní language, Monday Falls is often overshadowed by nearby Iguazu Falls, but this series of cascades, dropping 45m and surrounded by forest, is stunning and well-worth visiting. In contrast to this natural wonder, Itaipú Dam is considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern Technological World. This impressive dam produces an enormous amount of renewable energy and is an incredible feat of engineering. Your journey then continues across the border into Brazil.
Day 6 Iguazú Falls
Enjoy a full-day tour of the Argentinian and Brazilian sides of Iguazu Falls and discover one of the world’s most beautiful waterfalls. Follow walkways, get up close to the thundering water, and appreciate the magnificence of this natural wonder from its many different panoramic vantage points.
Days 7-9 Rio de Janeiro
You will fly to Rio de Janeiro for three nights in the 'Marvellous City'. On your second day, take a train ride up Corcovado Hill, home of the iconic Christ the Redeemer statue, and cable cars up Sugar Loaf Mountain for fantastic views over the city. With the rest of your time, you could visit the historic downtown area, and the beautiful Botanical Gardens, or simply kick back and relax on Copacabana Beach with a caipirinha in hand.
Days 10-12 Búzios
A few hours’ drive east of Rio is the small town of Búzios. Located on a peninsula and home to over 20 stunning beaches it is the perfect place to end your trip relaxing in the famous Brazilian sunshine or perhaps take a snorkelling trip out into the bay.
Days 13-14 Rio de Janeiro - UK
You will be transferred back to Rio de Janeiro to the airport where you will catch your flight back home.
