Route

Day	Travel station	Arrival	Departure
1.	Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) Departure: 18:00 Excursion tips (3)		18:00
	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.
2.	Ilha Grande (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) Arrival: 08:00 Departure: 18:00	08:00	18:00

3.	Buzios (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) Arrival: 07:00 Departure: 16:00 Excursion tips (1)	07:00	16:00
	The idyllic port of Búzios is hidden away on a peninsula in the South Atlantic Ocean. This fishing village, with its South Seas flair, free of giant concrete hotels and not far from Rio de Janeiro, is considered to be Brazil's top beach resort. Despite the varied options on offer to tourists, Búzios is far from being a Brazilian version of St. Tropez. Thanks to environmental initiatives it was possible to prevent it being developed into a faceless concrete hotel-lined beachfront - houses are not permitted to be built higher than two storeys. As a result, this once-remote fishing village has been able to retain its traditional charm.
