  1. Day 1
    Arrive Rio de Janeiro
    Golden swathes of famous coastline, tropical landscapes, and a certain joie de vivre will welcome you to one of the world’s most vibrant cities, Rio de Janeiro. Energy pulses through every pore of this passionate and fun-loving city, flooding from the favelas to the football fields and culminating in nightly parties where the caipirinhas are free-flowing and the samba rhythm is infectious. Rio may be best known for its annual Carnival, but visiting here you’ll realise that every day is cause for celebration. Settle into your hotel before meeting up with your Travel Director this afternoon. Then perhaps hit the sands of Copacabana to watch the sun set whilst you sip your first cachaça.Accommodation: Windsor Plaza Copacabana

At the top of Mount Corcovado, take in the awe-inspiring 30-meter Christ the Redeemer, an icon of Rio and one of the New 7 Wonders of the World. After soaking in panoramic views of the “Marvelous City,” it's time to hit Rio's famous beaches—Copacabana and Ipanema.

    Rio de Janeiro – Iguassu Falls
    Leaving the colorful costumes and infectious rhythms of Rio behind, this morning you’ll head to the airport to catch your flight to Iguassu Falls. Words can’t really describe the magnificence of the world’s largest series of waterfalls (275 to be exact), which straddle the border between Argentina and Brazil and are surrounded by lush expanses of national park. Settle in to your hotel this afternoon and spend the evening relaxing, no doubt bubbling with excitement for the natural spectacle that tomorrow will bring.Accommodation: Viale Cataratas Hotel

You’ll be venturing down to the ominously named and utterly exhilarating Devil’s Throat, the tallest and most impressive of Iguassu’s waterfalls. Remember that raincoat? Now’s the time to use it! This afternoon keep the adrenalin levels high on a choice optional experience where you'll take an open-air tram through the jungle to the Macuco Falls, and then board a custom designed inflatable motorboat for a high intensity ride to the base of the falls. If keeping things a little more relaxed is more your style, opt to visit a bird park on a Make Travel Matter® Experience where you can spot more than 150 different species of birds.Accommodation: Viale Cataratas Hotel

The Argentinian side offers equally impressive views, giving you a fresh perspective on this natural wonder. Hop aboard the open-sided Ecological Jungle Train, a peaceful and scenic ride that takes you to Devil’s Throat for another jaw-dropping encounter with the falls.

I would not book with CostSaver again. The hotels were outdated and some where noisy, much of the tour incured additional fees to see sights. A good amount of the optionals were canceled, with no replacement options. I scrambled to find tours on my own. The tour guide was not very professional and did not really give a tour. We stayed on the bus and she gave us a VERY brief and short information--no history, nothing about Rio/ Brazil and seemed more interested in getting us to spend money to fuel the Brazilian economy. One restaurant we were not told did not include drinks, these drinks they charged us high prices and was a surprise to all guests on tour. The Argentinian part of the tour was amazing because they hired out another guide who pointed out sites, we even were able to step out to visit it and learn about the history and culture--what a tour should be about! She even told us to beware of pickpocketers, how to be safe in Argentina, and even tips on avoiding unnecessary costs, to what is and is not included. She was friendly and informative, unlike our primary guide, Gio. The third hotel we stayed in by the Igasu Falls was terrible and service was very bad, they ripped everyone off charging 4times the price of water down the street at the market and lied to us saying there were not grocery stores around when it was a short 10 minute walk.
