Astronomy night sky observation in Cambara do Sul: Countless starsAn astronomy night sky observation activity in Cambara do Sul, South Brazil, where you spend four hours watching planets, constellations, meteors and galaxies from a location with minimal light pollution. A professional guide trained in astronomy leads the session; the experience includes a digital photograph of your group framed against the stars, taken with professional-grade equipment. The activity runs from 4:30 p.m. in winter or 6 p.m. in summer, depends on moon phase (roughly half the month has too much lunar light), and is limited to groups of 8 to 12 people, minimum age 16.Is it for me?Book this if you're coming from a city and want the guide to handle timing, equipment setup, and photography instruction so you can focus entirely on the sky.
Paraty: Private Waterfalls 4x4 Tour & Cachaça TastingYou’ll ride a 4x4 jeep deep into Paraty’s Atlantic Forest, swim in cool natural pools beneath Pedra Branca and Tobogã waterfalls, sample local cachaça straight from a working distillery, and relax over lunch beside Tarzan Waterfall. Expect laughter with your guide and a few surprises from nature along the way.
São Paulo Airport Drop Off: Private Transfer to HotelYou're met at Guarulhos arrivals with a nameplate, driven directly to your São Paulo hotel in a private car, and charged a fixed price agreed before landing. No waiting, no negotiation, no surprises on the meter. Infant seats are available if you need them.Is it for me?Worth booking if you land late, travel with luggage and children, or simply want to avoid the taxi queue—the driver waits at arrivals and the price is set before you get in, so the transfer stops being a negotiation at the curb.
Búzios Private Boat Tour: Closed Group, BBQ & Swim StopsYou’ll float along Búzios’ quiet bays with your own group aboard Drumond 1, stopping at hidden beaches to swim or just sprawl on a floating rug. Grill lunch right on deck or opt for a custom buffet — either way, salty air mixes with laughter and music as you take in old fishing stories from your local guide. It’s relaxed and real — not rushed or staged.
Guarulhos Airport to São Paulo: Private Transfer with WiFiYou’ll step off your flight at Guarulhos Airport and find your driver waiting—no stress or confusion. Enjoy air conditioning, WiFi for quick updates, and a smooth ride into São Paulo’s heart. Local drivers share stories along the way, so your first moments in Brazil already feel connected. There’s something grounding about arriving this way.
Rio de Janeiro: Morro Dois Irmãos Hike & Vidigal Favela TourYou hike 50 minutes to the top of Morro Dois Irmãos, see Rio's largest favela and major landmarks from above, then walk through the Vidigal community with a local guide who explains its history and daily life. The motorcycle taxi ride in and the descent through neighborhood streets bookend the climb. You leave with an HD photo album and a sense of the place that doesn't come from a viewpoint platform.Is it for me?Book this if you want to see Rio's famous landmarks from an angle most tourists miss and understand Vidigal as a living community, not a photo stop — the local guide and the walk through the neighborhood are what separate this from a standard viewpoint hike.
Serra Gaúcha: Quadricycle Off Road Tour with Guide & SafetyYou’ll ride a quadricycle through Serra Gaúcha’s hills with a local guide leading the way — pausing at viewpoints like Morro Pelado for stories and photos. Expect muddy trails, real laughter, safety gear included, and plenty of moments where you forget you’re following a route at all.
Fortaleza to Jericoacoara: Private 4x4 Transfer 320kmYou get a private 4x4 transfer from Fortaleza to Jericoacoara covering 320 kilometers in about 4.5 hours on the CE 085 highway. The driver and maintained vehicle handle the route while you rest or watch the landscape change. Pickup is on your schedule, insurance and transport licenses are included, and the vehicle accommodates up to four passengers with luggage.Is it for me?Choose this if you're traveling with a small group and want to skip the hassle of renting a car or negotiating shared transport — the fixed price and private vehicle mean you leave when you're ready and arrive without detours.
Rio Historical Walking Tour: Selarón Steps, Cathedral & LapaA four to five hour walking tour of Rio de Janeiro's historic center, led by a licensed English-speaking guide, covering colonial architecture, cultural landmarks and Afro-Brazilian heritage sites from Cinelândia to the port district. The tour includes access to the VLT train system for some stops and moves at a pace suited to mixed fitness levels; children from age 12 are welcome.Is it for me?Start from Cinelândia in the center without needing a car, and the VLT train handles the longer stretches between neighborhoods—this settles the logistics if you're staying downtown or arriving by public transport and want to see Rio's colonial core and Afro-Brazilian landmarks in one morning or afternoon.
Blumenau Mozart Crystal Factory Tour: Glassblowing & LapidationA guided factory tour in Blumenau takes you through the complete crystal-making process at Mozart, a family-owned manufacturer operating since 1952. You walk the production floor to watch glassblowing, cutting and polishing, visit the museum, and leave with a personalized crystal cup. The tour runs weekday mornings when the casting process is active; weekend visits skip the blowing stage but include the same factory and museum access.Is it for me?Book the weekday morning departure (9am to 1pm) if you want to watch the glassblowing process live — that is when the furnaces are active and the casting happens. The afternoon slot (1:30pm to 4:30pm) and weekend visits show the same cutting and polishing work plus the museum, but skip the blowing stage because the furnaces close at 1pm.

The itinerary moves through three distinct stops, each with time for photos and swimming.Is it for me?Book this if you're based in Maceió without a car—the guide drives you to three beaches in one day, and hotel pickup means you start when the van arrives, not when you've sorted transport.
João Pessoa: Praia do Jacaré Sunset & Boardwalk TourYou get hotel pickup, a professional guide, and two hours at Praia do Jacaré during the sunset, with Bolero de Ravel playing as the light changes.

The buggy ride is the centerpiece—steep terrain and freshwater lagoons make it the most famous in Ceará—but the day also holds swimming, raft rides and leisure time at the beach facility.Is it for me?Pick this if you're hotel-based without a car—the included pickup gets you there, and you decide on-site whether to ride the dunes or stick with the pools and restaurant.
Pomerode Dinosaur Park: Family Adventures & Dino WorldYou walk into a dinosaur-themed park in Pomerode where attractions, games, and learning happen together across accessible grounds. Your day includes entry to all attractions, access to the cafeteria and family facilities, and the chance to move at your own pace without separate tickets or hidden costs. It's designed so adults and kids both stay engaged, which is what makes the difference between a trip and a memory.Is it for me?Book this if you want a place where both you and your kids stay engaged without managing separate activities or paying extra for different zones — the dinosaur park in Pomerode is built around families playing together, which is what makes a few hours here feel different from the usual outing.
Rio de Janeiro: Yup Star Ferris Wheel 88m with Unlimited RidesYou buy one ticket and ride as many times as you want during your visit, with each lap lasting 20 minutes. The 88-meter wheel offers views of Sugar Loaf, Christ the Redeemer, Guanabara Bay, and the Rio-Niterói Bridge from enclosed cabins. A café and shop are on-site, and the location in Porto Maravilha puts you near the Museum of Tomorrow and AquaRio. Plan your arrival around the park's closing time to fit in multiple rides.Is it for me?A good fit if you want to see Rio's main landmarks from one vantage point without committing to a fixed schedule — the unlimited-ride model means you can stay as long as you want and ride again if the light changes or you spot something you missed. Plan to arrive early enough to fit in at least two or three rotations before closing time.
Natal Arena das Dunas: Stadium Tour & VIP Access TicketYou’ll step inside Natal’s Arena das Dunas with a local guide, exploring player-only areas like locker rooms and warm-up tunnels.

The tour runs 8 hours with pickup from your hotel and an accredited guide who speaks Portuguese.Is it for me?Hotel pickup from Fortaleza means you don't need a car or a rental to reach Cumbuco—the transport is arranged, and the guide handles the route and the timing, so a full day of dunes and lagoons works even if you're staying in the city without wheels.
