POUSADA PICINGUABA, BRAZIL – SAVE 10% ON ROOM RATE
NEW ENTRY IN HIP HOTELS
It’s official, Sunday 30th March heralds the start of British Summer Time, but don’t get too excited as it won’t be an invitation to stow the woollies and slip into something a little more summery! However, Latin American specialist, Trips Worldwide, has an invitation you can’t refuse – a stay at Pousada Picinguaba, an idyllic hideaway on Brazil’s Atlantic coast, which has just been selected by author Herbert Ypma as one of the best 80 Hip Hotels of the world, part of a longer 14-day itinerary combining Brazil and Argentina. Travel in April and receive a special 10% discount on the normal room rate at Pousada Picinguaba – departures from London available daily.
Get off to the perfect start with 3-days in Rio de Janerio, dramatically set between the mountains and the sea, with long sandy beaches, scantily clad locals and a buzzing nightlife. From Rio, fly to the border of Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina, and transfer to Iguazu Falls, arguably the world’s largest and most spectacular falls. Here, guests are accommodated at La Aldea de la Selva Lodge in Parana Rainforest, a new property for Trips Worldwide, close to the falls. A stay here offers a unique luxury rainforest experience, including a jungle tour and Iguazu Falls excursion. Return to Rio and transfer by road to Paraty and stay in a delightful hotel close to the harbour. Spend the final 4 nights at Pousada Picinguaba, situated in a calm and peaceful bay in the sleepy fishing village of Picinguaba, midway between São Paulo and Rio. With its whitewashed walls and traditional façade, Pousada Picinguaba is a romantic reminder of Brazil’s Portuguese heritage and a worthy new inclusion to Herbert Ypma’s Hip Hotels publication. The hotel has its own 40-foot schooner which guest may take out to picnic on a deserted beach or watch schools of porpoise at play.
The holiday costs from £2,725 p/p (discounted room rate included) including all flights, transfers, all accommodation with breakfast, jungle tour and Iguazu Falls excursion at La Aldea de la Selva Lodge and dinner at Pousada Picinguaba.
