Brazil needs no introduction. Its 8.5 million square kms are home to fantastic landscapes and immense cultural diversity. Our challenge takes us beyond the beach and into tropical forest and Serra da Bocaina National Park. Once we’ve conquered the trekking challenge, it’s into our sea kayaks to paddle between the Bay of Paraty and Saco do Mamangua. The Bay is dotted with more than 60 islands, as well as some 300 picture perfect beaches which will provide our accommodation at night. Once the hard work is over, we head to the party city of Rio to soak up the sun and the sights, including Christ the Redeemer.
This challenge far exceeded my expectations - with the split between trekking and kayaking you are privileged so see different parts of the beautiful country of Brazil i.e. the rainforest and the amazing coastline, the challenge then finishes in Rio with a visit to Christ the Redeemer statue which is breath taking. I have met people who I will remain friends with for life and I am already thinking about the next challenge I would like to embark upon!

The challenge of the trek/kayak was well worth it when we reached Rio and saw Christ the Redeemer.

Great experience and Rio was a great finale! The restaurants we were taken to were really good. The statue of Christ the Redeemer was amazing as was Sugarloaf Mountain and the cable cars.
