10-Day Brazil Tour Packages
Think ten days in Brazil means just Rio and beaches? The country's massive, so you're choosing regions. Could be Rio for Christ the Redeemer and beaches, then Iguazú Falls, maybe Amazon jungle near Manaus. Or Salvador da Bahia for Afro-Brazilian culture, Pantanal for wildlife, Lençóis Maranhenses dunes. Brazil's diversity covers jungle, savanna, beaches, and cities, so every region feels different.

10 Days in Argentina & Brazil, incl. Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro
Three major Brazilian cities come alive over 10 days: Foz do Iguaçu for the falls, Rio for Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf Mountain, plus optional excursions to Buzios or Arraial do Cabo. Accommodations include 4-star hotels with daily breakfast and guided city tours.
- Days 1-3
Buenos Aires, Argentina
Spend your first three days exploring the sophisticated Argentine capital's diverse neighborhoods. "The combination walking, bus and subway tour with Gisela was excellent - her 30 years of experience really showed in her knowledge of the city." Start in modern Puerto Madero before wandering the historic cobblestone streets of San Telmo. Consider booking a tango show at El Querandi for $92. Previous guests loved the "outstanding three-course dinner with wine and professional performance."
- Days 4-5
Iguazu Falls
Catch a morning flight to Puerto Iguazu. A tip: pack light since checked bags cost $35 per flight. Visit both the Argentine and Brazilian sides of the falls. "The Argentine side has more falls but direct sun exposure, while the Brazilian side offers better panoramic views and shaded walkways." Start with the Argentine side ($144 including lunch and border crossing) followed by the Brazilian side next day. You'll definitely get wet so bring rain gear.
- Days 6-9
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Take a 2.5-hour flight to Rio and stay near Copacabana Beach. Your full-day tour includes Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf Mountain. Going early helps avoid crowds and hazy views. Many visitors recommend adding the Ginga Tropical samba show with rodizio dinner. One guest noted: "The Arena Copacabana Hotel's location is perfect - you're surrounded by beach bars with live music, yet it feels very safe."
- Day 10
Departure
Hotels typically have 11am checkout but will store your luggage for later flights. Spend your final morning at the beach or shopping.
Discovering Bahia
Six distinct Brazilian cities unfold over 10 days, from Salvador's colonial streets to Morro de São Paulo's beaches. The tour includes 3 days in Chapada Diamantina exploring Poço Azul and Buracao Waterfall, plus 2 beach days. Featuring 9 nights' accommodation and guided activities for approx. $210 daily.
10 Days in Brazil, incl. Rio de Janeiro and Iguazu Falls
The 10-day Brazilian tour showcases 5 major destinations, from Rio's Christ the Redeemer to Iguazu Falls. Marvel at Paraty's UNESCO center, São Paulo's Mercadão market, and savor traditional Brazilian barbecues while staying in comfortable hotels.
- Days 1-3
Rio de Janeiro:
Spend three full days exploring Brazil's most famous city. Start day one in Copacabana where most hotels are located. Visit Christ the Redeemer early on day two. Take the first tram at 8:00 AM to avoid crowds and heat. Visit the Metropolitan Cathedral and Selarón Steps in the afternoon when lighting is best for photos. On day three go to Sugarloaf Mountain. Time your visit for sunset to see the city lights come alive.
- Days 4-5
Paraty:
Take a 4-hour drive along Costa Verde to colonial Paraty. Wear shoes with good grip since cobblestone streets get slippery in the rain. Walk through the UNESCO-listed historic center and join a morning schooner boat trip to quiet beaches. Praia do Sono offers great swimming spots after a 20-minute walk on a trail.
- Day 6
Transit Day:
Travel to São Paulo (4 hours) for your flight to Foz do Iguaçu. Book an afternoon flight to avoid morning traffic. End your day with a local family dinner and try the pão de queijo cheese bread appetizers.
- Days 7-9
Iguazu Falls:
Take three days to explore Iguazu Falls and the area. Start on the Brazilian side for wide views before crossing to Argentina for closer looks. A recent visitor said: "The boat ride under the falls was incredible – but bring a waterproof bag for your camera and expect to get completely soaked!" You can visit Paraguay's Ciudad del Este but allow 1-2 hours for border crossing during busy times.
- Day 10
Departure:
Leave from Foz do Iguaçu. Most international flights connect through São Paulo or Rio so plan your schedule accordingly.

The tour I took just now in Dec. 2025 was 3-day Iguazu Falls from Rio which is no longer offered. The supplier Etours was very responsive both before and during the tour making sure things were happening according to what we needed. There were a few things they (Daria and team) helped us to find alternate ways to make sure our needs were accommodated. The most impressive is that they responded to one of the situations right away when I email them and make it right. I am thankful the way they responded instantly when things were not happening as planned. There was good communication by whatsapp from each driver before the pickup. I think the overall service was very good. Margaret (Canada).
- Rio de Janeiro & Amazon Rainforest Sustainable Experience
Best trip I could have ever imagined. Accommodations, tour guides, activities were top notch. Everyone made sure we were taken care of, that we were enjoying ourselves, etc. Luciana was above and beyond before our trip, during, and even after. I can't thank her enough along with everyone else on the trip that made everything so special for you. I recommend this to every person out there.
