Brazil Coast & Islands

Travel from Rio de Janeiro to Paraty, Trindade and Ilha Grande on an eight-day trip through Brazil’s coastline and island towns. The route combines city time, old streets, beaches and ferry crossings, with a group leader to help keep the trip running smoothly. In Rio, there is time for an introductory walk and a trip briefing before the journey continues south. Paraty offers cobbled streets and easy access to the surrounding coast, while Trindade can be visited on an optional excursion for its beaches. From there, the trip continues to Ilha Grande, where you stay close to the island’s main settlement and have time for beaches, rainforest walks and boat options if you want to add them. The final days return you to Rio via Mangaratiba. This itinerary includes a mix of shared road transfers, ferry travel and free time. Conditions can vary with weather and local logistics, so a flexible approach helps on this part of the coast.
