Between activities, there is time to relax by a pool, at a local café, or in shaded gardens, with accommodations chosen to minimise travel and maximise enjoyment. The tour ends in Angra dos Reis, known for its serene bays and islands, where families can explore or relax at their own pace.

During your visit to Rio da Prata, your guide will take you to a naturally formed sinkhole where you will have the chance to see a range of bird species, including the squawking macaws. It’s a great opportunity to experience nature in Brazil and appreciate the variety of wildlife that lives there. Children enjoy this part of the visit as they can try to spot the species of macaw featured in the animated film Rio. The area is also known for its peaceful surroundings, making it a calm and enjoyable stop for all ages.
