Hop off the plane and hit the ground running as you drop off your suitcases in a luxury hotel overlooking the hustle and bustle of Copacabana Beach. Natural wonders like Sugarloaf Mountain, the soft sands of Copacabana and the lapping waves of Ipanema set the stage for your time in Rio de Janeiro. Combine beachside relaxation with cultural immersion in some of the city’s trendiest neighbourhoods. At some point during your four days here you’ll have the opportunity to explore the hidden gems of Santa Teresa and the city centre with a private local guide before heading up Corcovado to take in the mighty sight of Christ the Redeemer.
Now that you’re well-accustomed to the Latin charm of South America, it’s time to jump from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Disembark in the Chilean capital of Santiago, an effortlessly cool metropolis that marries mountainous Andean scenery with laid-back urban charm. Hang up your hat for two nights in a chic neighbourhood and spend one full day experiencing the highlights of the city on a private tailor-made tour. Make sure to stop in a wine bar or two to sample the fine wines that pour in from the nation’s prestigious vineyards.
Your next destination takes you to the shores of one of the world’s most mysterious slices of South America: Easter Island. It’s here that you can see the moai – gigantic statues fashioned from volcanicrock – that the island is famous for. Your home for the next four nights is a quaint family guest house which is the perfect homey base as you spend the next few days criss-crossing the island with a knowledgeable driver-guide in search of iconic sites such as the extinct volcano of Rano Kao, the abandoned stone village of Orongo and the archaeological complex of Vinapu, as well as the city of Hanga Roa and its museum.
Back on the continent, it’s the colourful hillside city of Valparaiso that opens its arms to you. Two days here is enough to take in the best of the city: ride the cable cars for panoramic views across the port and ocean, head out with a local art enthusiast to discover the city’s thriving street art scene and get your final fill of Chile’s fantastic food and wine before swapping continents.
Rise and shine in a completely new part of the world as you step foot on Australian soil. Your first destination is, naturally, the trendy coastal city of Sydney, where you’ll stay for five nights in a contemporary hotel. Hit the streets with a local guide to discover some of the city’s coolest spots before marvelling at the modernist architecture of the iconic Sydney Opera House.
After a few days here, swap Sydney’s bright city lights for the remote wilderness of the Australian outback. Your home for two nights here is a cosy hotel in the Red Centre, the perfect base for admiring the ochre hues of Uluru and Kata Tjuta — domed rock formations considered sacred to the Aboriginal people.
The final leg of your journey takes you right the way around the southern hemisphere to the golden plains of South Africa. Disembark in Johannesburg and settle in for two nights in a historic propertyin an upscale neighbourhood. Once again, you’ll be following in the footsteps of a knowledgeable local guide as you immerse yourself in the life and culture of a new city and country. The next fournights are yours to spend exploring the great natural landscapes of South Africa at your own pace asyou set off in a hire car.
Your next stop is the immense Blyde River canyon, a 16-mile fracture between the Highveld andLowveld plateaus. Explore by boat and bike and marvel at the towering cliffs that characterise this nature reserve. Round off your adventure in high-octane spirit as you head out to see the legendary creatures that roam the private reserve of Balule, your home for two nights and the final stop on this epic continent-hopping adventure.
