A TASTE
OF BRAZIL
March 6th – 18th, 2008 & Oct 23rd – Nov 4th,
2008
I must admit that I knew very
little about Brazil prior to my visit. But what I found was a
fascinating culture, friendly people and damn tasty food !
Highlights of the
Tour:
Rio de Janeiro:
We will of course see the city's most loved attractions, but we go
behind the facade to drink with the locals, visit Monasteries ornate with
gold, discover the 17th C elegant, bohemian charms of Santa Teresa, as
well as sample the sophisticated Cafe culture reminiscent of Vienna.
Belo
Horizonte: capital of the
state of Minas Gerais.
Amazing cultural centre. The hub for outings to
deserted Gold Mines and the beautiful colonial town of Ouro Preto. (UNESCO
World Heritage site)
Salador,
Bahia:
Afro Brazillian roots. (The country was born here in the 16th C)
Markets just like I saw in Zanzibar, plus historical Pelourinho
(UNESCO World Heritage site) with its magnificent churches, and the finest
colonial buildings anywhere in Brazil. Or as my
Brazillian friends would tell you '' Vocę tem que ir lá "
YOU JUST HAVE TO GO THERE.
My sincere thanks to Laura Jane Coelho for her local help and advice in
making this tour possible. Also Peter M. Wilson
for insisting I meet him for a beer in Rio !
Price per
person $3800, including lodging, breakfasts and internal airfares.
International airfares not included.
