Rio is discovered from above before being lived at sea level. The Sugarloaf cable car rises over Guanabara Bay, and from Corcovado, beneath the open arms of Christ the Redeemer, the whole city unfolds between forest, beaches and mountains that plunge into the ocean.
All seven nights are spent at the same hotel in Copacabana. The downtown tour reveals the cone-shaped cathedral, Flamengo Park and the Municipal Theatre. The rest of the time, Rio is yours: Copacabana's mosaic promenade, coconut water drunk straight from the fruit, sunset in Ipanema facing the Two Brothers. A guided visit to a favela ends around a feijoada to the sound of a trio of musicians.
A semi-escorted stay in French, with an escort you can follow around town or let go, depending on the mood of the day.

Travel insuranceSynergia network group departures
Advisors in the Voyages Synergia network build their own escorted group departures every year, with limited places. These are trips born of a passion rather than a catalogue: fishing in Guatemala, safari in East Africa, guided expeditions. The list above changes with the seasons.
What sets these departures apart
- A Quebec tour leader who knows the destination and travels with the group
- A restricted number of places, often a few dozen, sometimes fewer than ten
- A clear theme, built around one activity rather than a destination alone
- Fixed dates: you join the departure, you do not build it
How to book
Each departure has its own responsible advisor. Choose the trip that interests you in the list, then reach us through the contact page for remaining places and terms. These departures often fill months ahead.
Other ways to travel as a group
If no date suits you, two other routes exist: organized trips, already built and sold by tour operators, and a custom group, built around your own participants. Voyages AquaTerra holds Quebec permit 702703.
