Ports:

Rio de Janeiro
Rio is a city of stunning architecture, good museums, and marvelous food. Take a cable car up Corcovado/ Sugerloaf Mountain (1300 ft. above sea level) for a specatular view of Guanabara Bay and the city. Stop on the way to the summit at Morro da Urca to see the statue of Christ the Redeemer, symbol of the city and of its people. Visit Parque Nacional da Tijuca, home to 2,600 species of plant life, particularly bromeliads and orchids and a wealth of wildlife, including Toucans, Tanagers, Marmoset monkeys and brilliantly-colored butterflies.

Ilha Grande
So close to Rio de Janeiro, yet so different, Ilha Grande is Brazil's relaxing, undeveloped paradise. Stepping off the ferry to the island is to disconnect from the outside world. No cars, no banks (bring your money!), no ringing phones. It's all about relaxing in the sun, sailing, swimming, disappearing into spas and reemerging for fresh seafood at one of the 30 small restaurants

Buzios
If there's a "beach economy," Buzios is its Wall Street. Its more than 20 beaches, world-class galleries, clubs and boutiques draw an elite set of travelers. Surfers love Geriba Beach, snorkelers enjoy Ferruda, hip Ossos Beach offers upscale beachside cafes and laid-back Ilhabela Beach offers a more down-to-earth Buzios experience

Paranagua
Paranagua is a city in the state of Parana in Brazil. Founded in 1648, it is Parana's oldest city. It is known for the Port of Paranagua, which serves as both the sea link for Curitiba, 110 kilometres to the north and the capital of Parana, and as one of the largest ports of Brazil.

Itajai
Itajaí is a port city in southeast Brazil. It's known for surf beaches like Praia Brava and Praia do Atalaia. At Geremias Beach, Bico do Papagaio rock resembles a parrot's head. The 1955 Blessed Sacrament Church was built in neo-Gothic and Romanesque styles. The Ethno-Archaeological Museum shows prehistoric artifacts. Set in art-nouveau Marcos Konder Palace, the Historical Museum houses items tracing the city's past

Ilhabela (Sao Sebastiao)
Ilhabela is an archipelago off the southeast coast of Brazil. The main island, Ilha de São Sebastião, is known for beaches like Castelhanos, Curral and Jabaquara. On the islands west coast, Ilhabela city is home to the white-and-blue Nossa Senhora d'Ajuda church. In vast, forested Ilhabela State Park, trails lead to Gato and Água Branca waterfalls.
