Brazil with Toddlers

Did you always want to visit Brazil, but wonder if it is a good place to travel with the youngest travellers? The Brazil with Toddlers Tour is a 7-day itinerary exceptionally designed for parents travelings with small children. Rio de Janeiro and Paraty are suitable places to spend a relaxing beach holiday with babies. In case you would like to visit a bit, we have included short sightseeing escapes to wonderful places, while the babies will be staying with a professional nanny at the hotel. The good thing about Rio de Janeiro is that it is accessible directly on several international connections, therefore you skip the hassle of travelling with a baby via Sao Paulo. Spend a quality time on a beautiful beach with azure waters while we make sure all your needs as travelling parents are taken care of. The program includes accommodation at a small boutique hotel with a spa and all the needed amenities and services. Board options and an all inclusive basis can be arranged.

This program takes in a pinch of colonial history and UNESCO World Heritage Sites, hiking, snorkelling, kayaking and a lot of beach hopping.
