In Rio de Janeiro the Deluxe option includes either the majestic Copacabana Palace, or the Fasano Hotel. Right on Copacabana beach, the Copacabana Palace is South America’s most famous hotel and has welcomed the rich and famous since 1923. The Copacabana Palace has 225 rooms and suites, 147 of which are in the main building and 78 suites in the Annex. All are individually designed with fine period furniture and original works of art.

Currently the flights from Lima to Iguazu Falls operate on Sunday, Tuesday, and Wednesday so ideal days to start this trip are Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. These can be modified to suit your schedule by rearranging the itinerary.

Recently, following UNESCO recommendations, Peruvian authorities have placed restrictions on the visitation of Machu Picchu, the lost Incan ruins. Currently, no more than 2,500 people daily will be allowed to visit the ruins. While these new restrictions are great for the preservation of the ruins, they may cause some difficulties in your ability to visit them, so we recommend booking with plenty of notice.

Note: U.S. and Canadian citizens require a Visa to enter Brazil which must be requested with plenty of notice.
