Rio de Janeiro

Copacabana Beach, Ipanema Beach, Carnival—these Rio de Janeiro institutions have made the Brazilian metropolis one of the world’s most popular party destinations. But Rio is more than a fiesta. High above the city is the mountaintop Christ the Redeemer statue, named one of the New Wonders of the World. Hike to the top or take a rainforest tram to enjoy a panoramic view of it all.

• Cultural icons: Visit the opulent, carefully restored Municipal Theater, where ballet companies and symphonies still perform, or see Brazilian and international works at the Modern Art Museum.
• Tijuca National Park is the world’s largest urban rainforest. Along the way, you might find colorful flora, waterfalls, and the Pedra de Gávea, which has a human-like face on its vast vertical surface and an ancient inscription carved at its base.
• Live in the moment by embracing the locals’ laissez-faire attitude while dancing the samba or sipping a caipirinha in an open-air bar.

Salvador

You’ll head up the coast to Salvador, a city that dances to the rhythm of a few different drums—both literally and figuratively. The city is known for its daily drum circles as for its tropical coastline, its prismatic assortment of pastel 18th- and 19th-century buildings, and bold culinary restaurants.

• The Pelourinho neighborhood is its historic city center, where cobblestone walkways feed into spacious city squares flanked by colorful colonial buildings and ornate baroque churches.
• Porto da Barra Beach: The sight of Bahia’s first European settlement, this surfer-friendly beach is known for its calm waters, gorgeous sunset views, and bustling vendor scene.
• Museu Rodin Bahia: This museum is entirely devoted to acclaimed French artist Auguste Rodin (of “The Thinker” fame). The building itself can almost be considered a work of art, blending classical architectural elements with striking modern flourishes.
