Get your last-minute Rio trip off the blocks

Air Partner - 12 Aug 2016

The action in Rio kicked off with a bang on Friday, and the event is now in full swing. However, for all of you who have spent the last few days glued to your TV screens, it is still not too late to experience the action in person. Scheduled flights may have been booked up months in advance, but Air Partner can still get you there.

What’s more, through our relationship with luxury concierge company Flag in the Sand, we can even help you find somewhere to stay. And not just anywhere – we are talking the crème de la crème! If that wasn’t enough, we have also asked our friends over at Flag in the Sand what other activities they would recommend in Brazil. Just in case you need a little bit more encouragement to make that last minute trip….

Amazon Cruises

According to the experts over at Flag in the Sand, the best way to enjoy the Amazon is by boat, as it’s an excellent way to fully appreciate the river, the rainforest and the abundant wildlife. But there’s no need to worry, this doesn’t mean you have to skimp on the luxury – they arrange cruises on large, well equipped boats with private cabins and motorised side-boats for fishing. And for those that prefer keeping their feet on dry land, there are well-equipped luxury jungle lodges, located deep in the rainforest. This means you can customise your trip exactly the way you want it, so you can relax and explore in measures to suit your taste. Easily accessible from Rio de Janeiro itself, what could be better than taking a break from the hustle and bustle of the city to experience some of the world’s most stunning natural scenery?

Iguazu Falls

Surrounded by a spectacular setting of lush and dense vegetation, an amazing 275 falls cascade down into the mighty Iguassu River. Straddling the Brazilian-Argentinian border, the falls – the largest waterfalls system in the world - are without doubt one of the highlights of any South American journey. Impressive throughout the year, the experience is very different depending what country you are in: from the Brazilian side you are rewarded with an amazing panoramic view, while if you cross over into Argentina you will be able to walk above, next to and almost under the falls. With a number of superb resort options in the area, including a stunning pastel pink colonial hotel and a luxury resort with sprawling grounds and facilities, the Iguazu Falls are simply unmissable.

Ponta Des Ganchos

Located near Sao Paulo, this incredible resort is recommended very highly by Flag in the Sand, as it’s the perfect choice for anyone looking to relax on the beach and take in breathtaking views. There is certainly no shortage of facilities and activities for guests to enjoy, including a spa, private dining on a deserted island, incredible trails and beaches, golf, fishing trips, snorkelling, canoeing, dinner on the beach - and much more besides. Can you imagine a more perfect or rejuvenating way to round off a busy Rio trip?
