What you'll do on day 4
- After breakfast, you will have a free day to discover more about the city on your own or ask for our optional tours.
- Botanical Garden
- The Rio de Janeiro Botanical Garden is a worth-visiting magnificent 137-hec (338-acre) garden over 200 years old featuring a 750-meter (half-mile) avenue of 134 impressive palms and more than 7000 types of plants.
- There you can see orchids, bromeliads, cacti, huge bamboos, and carnivorous plants. Among many others the most famous one is Victoria, a huge water-lily floating on the water that can sustain a 5-year old kid on it! Monkeys are sometimes visible during the visit, and there are always plenty of birds flying over the trees (the more recognizable ones are toucans). (Duration 4 hours)
- Tropical Islands Tour
- The town Itacuruça situated on an island 1,5 hours away from Rio de Janeiro, in Mangaratiba, is active in fishing, tourism and agriculture. The town has small fishermen houses. In order to get there you need to cross the Sepetiba Bay in the Saveiro schooner. During the trip you will enjoy the romantic views of the tropical green islands. You may have the luck to see dolphins, huge fish, parrots, turtles and poisonous stingrays. On the way the vessel will stop for you to take a bath in the ocean.
