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.

What people love about 10-day Brazil tours
- Brazil and Argentina with Iguazu Falls 4 Star
Overall, I had a good experience with this tour and would recommend the agency, although I believe there is still room for improvement. The hotels in Buenos Aires, Iguazu, and Rio were all clean, comfortable, and located in convenient areas within walking distance of restaurants, grocery stores, or shopping mall. They also included complimentary breakfast, which was a nice bonus. While the rooms were on the smaller side, they were well maintained, and I enjoyed staying at each hotel. The flights were well organized, with direct routes between destinations, making travel easy. I also appreciated that airport pickups and drop-offs were arranged and went smoothly. The only issue I experienced was with one flight where I had prepaid for two checked bags, but only one was added to my reservation. As a result, I had to pay an additional $50 at the airport. That reimbursement is still under review. Communication with the tour agency was excellent throughout the trip. They responded promptly to questions and ensured all of the travel logistics were handled well. The included tours were enjoyable, but there were some areas that could be improved. In Buenos Aires, the included four-hour city tour featured knowledgeable guides who covered the highlights well. However, the schedule was very strict, with no opportunity to stop for lunch or spend extra time at any location. Once the tour ended, it ended promptly. I also chose to purchase an additional tango dinner show, which was a great experience. In Iguazu, the itinerary included the Brazilian side of the falls. I paid extra to add another day so I could also visit the Argentine side, which I highly recommend. The guide in Iguazu was friendly and attentive, but his English was limited. While he answered questions when asked, there was very little detailed commentary about the history, culture, wildlife, or significance of the falls. The tour focused mainly on guiding us through the different circuits rather than providing an in-depth educational experience. In Rio de Janeiro, the included full-day tour covered downtown Rio and Christ the Redeemer. I also purchased the optional Sugarloaf Mountain cable car excursion, which was well worth the extra cost and fit nicely into the day’s itinerary. Overall, the tour provided a convenient and enjoyable way to visit three incredible destinations. The accommodations, transportation, airport transfers, and customer service were all strong points. While I would have appreciated more flexible tour schedules and more informative guiding in Iguazu, I was very satisfied with the overall experience and would recommend this tour agency to others.

Tourradar is a reliable and trusted tour operator. My entire Holiday trip (about 25 days) engagement with Tourradar was smooth from Airport pick up and return. The tour guides was experience and knowledgeable and friendly to Conduct the tour though we had met the first time. One more point to Note, the booking staffs are professional to arrange the tour base on your needs in the planning process. I certainly would use them again in my future trip.

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.
