New Voyage Privé

Carefully selected by our experts especially for you

If you're looking for a change of scenery, get ready to discover a country full of contrasts. For foodies who want to try some local dishes, I recommend the Churrascaria Palace in Copacabana (book a few days in advance), Via Sete in Ipanema will be perfect for lunch and dinner, or ‘la Garota da Ipanema’, in Ipanema - this is where the famous song ‘The girl from Ipanema’ was written by Vinicius de Moraes.
