Route

Day	Travel station	Arrival	Departure
1.	Flight with Lufthansa (Zurich - Sao Paulo)* *Additional airports available

2.	Santos (Sao Paulo, Brazil) Departure: 18:00		18:00
	Santos is the largest and busiest port in Latin America. Opulent facades are a reminder of the era of the coffee traders in the 19th century. The city's aquarium on the wide Avenida Bartolomeu de Gusmao has tropical fish, turtles, eels and sea lions. Even today, Santos is the largest coffee export port in Brazil.
3.	Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) Arrival: 09:00 Departure: 20:00 Excursion tips (3)	09:00	20:00
	The metropolis of Rio de Janeiro lies nestled in beautiful countryside with a view of islands and paradise beaches. The city's landmarks are Copacabana beach and the Sugar Loaf Mountain, which gives the city its unmistakable silhouette. Opposite, on Corcovado hill, stands the world-famous statue of Christ. Historic churches and monuments compete with modern architecture; typical traditional street markets stand directly beside ultra-modern shopping centres. A trip in a cable car to the peak of the Sugar Loaf, which is over 700 m high, promises a truly breathtaking view of the city. Sights include: Metropolitana Cathedral, the municipal theatre, the city palace Paco Imperial, the National Historical Museum, Sugar Loaf Mountain and the statue of Christ.
4.	At Sea

5.	Ilhéus (Bahia, Brazil) Arrival: 09:00 Departure: 19:00 Excursion tips (1)	09:00	19:00
	The historic city of Ilhéus is in the federal state of Bahia and has a population of approximately 250,000. Built in the 15th century it has been exposed to a strong European and Arabic influence. In addition to the traditional cocoa cultivation, Ilhéus also boasts a large number of attractions. The cityscape is dominated by numerous churches, museums and squares. The wonderful sandy beaches and coastal areas mean Ilhéus is one of the most popular holiday destinations in Brazil!
6.	Salvador de Bahia (Brazil) Arrival: 07:00 Excursion tips (3)	07:00
	Salvador da Bahia, the 'black heart of Brazil', lies on the North-East coast. In the 16th century it was the largest city in the entire southern hemisphere. Today, Salvador is a melting pot of cultures and the centre of African culture. The city at "All Saints Bay" is probably the most exotic and eccentric city in Brazil. Two thirds of the population are the descendants of African slaves. African rituals, cults and religion can thus be found at every turn. In the historic old town, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, baroque buildings are a reminder of colonial rule. Lots of churches and a market for arts and crafts are also to be found in the town centre. A pure, exotic atmosphere, happy people, palm-lined beaches stretching several kilometres, music and the Afro-Brazilian culture are ever-present.
	Flight with Swiss from Deputado Luis Eduardo Magalhaes Intl Airport
