1st surf lesson
Rio de Janeiro is one of the most breathtaking cities in the world, and it will be our first and last stop on our Brazil adventure. This city is constantly beaming with life, and there are endless activities to enjoy. Brazilians are reputed for being some of the happiest people on earth, and this is quite clear when you visit Rio. Stroll along the white sand beaches and watch the locals playing soccer and volleyball in g-strings and speedos, the classic Brazilian beachwear.
Some of the highlights here are hiking up to the famous Christo statue which towers over Rio, renting a surfboard and tackling the waves, and taking a tour of one of the local favelas. We will also be flying high over the city as we hang-glide our way from the mountains onto the beach. Be sure to save some energy for after dark, because Rio's nightlife is unbelievable, and the clubs here will keep you dancing until dawn, literally.
1st stop: Rio & it's beaches
This small fishing village differs from our other travel destinations as despite it's natural beauty, crystal clear waters and friendly locals, it remains widely unknown to foreign travellers. Trinidade is place to relax and profit from brazil's beauty and the warmth of it's peoples. Whether you want to spend the day snorkelling, horseback riding, hiking to waterfalls, or just baking on the beach, Trinidade has it all to bring you into a state of complete bliss and relaxation, just be sure not to tell anyone about this gem!
Rafting day
An island first used as a hideout for pirates and smugglers, this island boasts some of the regions most beautiful beaches. The main town is dramatically set behind a beach underneath the islands highest peak. In the morning fisherman can still be seen heading out to get their catch, as even though the island has undergone a tourist boom in recent years, the inhabitants have not yet lost it's charming way of life. This island is a hotspot for young travellers, it's amazing weather, gorgeous beaches, fun night life, make it a favorite, and certainly a must see when travelling the Brazilian summer! We could go on all day about this little paradise, which is one of Brazil.s best kept secrets.
Live music in a Rio favela
Settled first by pirates and European slave traders, this picturesque fishing village set along the beautiful coast of Cabo Frio, just a few hours north of Rio de Janeiro, became a hot spot for the city's upper class following it's "discovery" by Brigitte Bardot in the 1960's. Today it's incredible natural beauty, secluded beaches, rustic charm and elegant architecture attracts tourists from all over the world. It still serves as an escape for the city's upper and middle class, and as such boasts an amazing array of nightlife, often host to some of the world's best club dj's. During the day head to one of the many nearby beaches to sunbathe or snorkel with the country's beautiful people, in the summer, Buzios is still the place to be and be seen. The Beach Travellers concept is that this is your trip and you can make what you want of it, so you're always free to do your own thing. There are endless discoveries to be made on these journeys, so feel free to explore.

Standing up on the 1st day. Good work.
We return back to our first location for a few last nights together before we all go our separate ways. It.s always sad to see everyone leave, but the memories and new friendships we have all built along the way remain with us for years to come.
