✧ Chapter One: Rio de Janeiro, Art Deco Elegance and Beachside Glamour
Begin in Rio, Brazil’s most iconic city, where golden beaches meet lush granite peaks, and samba pulses through the streets. But this isn’t just any visit to Rio—it’s a stay at the Belmond Copacabana Palace, the hotel of choice for everyone from Princess Diana to the Rolling Stones. Nestled right on Copacabana Beach, this century-old gem blends old-world elegance with tropical grandeur.
