Day 1 - Delving into the Delights of Rio Grande

Our adventure kicks off with a stunning morning view of the Iligo River while enjoying a delightful breakfast. Sip on local coffee blends that are sure to invigorate your senses. Next, we'll make our way to Museu Oceanográfico, the largest museum of its kind in Latin America, where we'll become intimate with the varied species that call the depths of the Southern Atlantic Ocean home. On the quest for food after the museum? Worry not! We'll be making a stop at a local restaurant where you'll get to feast on traditional Brazilian cuisine. Trust me when I say this, their barbeque, or churrasco as locals call it, is a must-try! As the day draws to a close, imagine yourself basking under the setting sun on the waterfront Píer do Porto. It is as stunning as it sounds!

Day 2 - Discovering the Mighty Marshlands

Imagine hopping into an off-road vehicle waiting for you post-breakfast, ready to whisk you away to a journey through the famous Taim Ecological Station's marshlands. Ever dreamt of seeing capybaras gamboling and pink flamingos gracing the water surfaces? Well, here's your chance! The afternoon will give you a taste of the city's past with a visit to the Cidade do Rio Grande Museum, hosting centuries-old artifacts. Later, surrender yourself to the magic of a seaside evening at the Cassino Beach, Brazil's longest beach. Dine at a cozy seaside shack, relishing the divine Brazilian shrimp stew, or moqueca. Star-lit sky, melodious waves, and delectable food -what could make a better closing for the day?

Day 3 - Savoring the Salty Wind and Seaside Markets

On our final day, we'll become early birds and stroll the morning market at Fenadoce, famous for its assortments of local crafts, seafood, and, of course, the divine Brazilian sweet treats. Post breakfast, brace yourself for a boat ride to the picturesque Ilha dos Marinheiros. The afternoon would be led by a hearty luncheon featuring local dishes such as dried meat and pumpkin, and exploring the island's breathtaking nature spots. What's in for the evening? Well, we'll cap off our splendid adventure in Rio Grande with an enchanting sunset cruising back to Rio Grande city. Don't say I didn't warn you; this might just be a trip to remember for life!
