Exclusive eight-day journey combines VIP access to the world's greatest celebration combined with the natural wonder of Iguazu Falls.

Abercrombie & Kent (A&K), the global leader in luxury travel, announces Rio Carnival to Iguazú Falls: An Inspiring Expedition by Geoffrey Kent, a once-in-a-lifetime journey that brings travellers into the heart the world’s greatest celebration like no one else. Personally hosted by Geoffrey Kent in February 2027, and limited to just 16 guests, this eight-day adventure offers unrivalled access to two of Brazil’s most dazzling sights: Rio’s legendary Carnival and the thundering spectacle of Iguazú Falls.

"Brazil is my second home, and I am thrilled to welcome guests to experience it in the way I love it most,” says Geoffrey Kent, Founder of Abercrombie & Kent. “From an exclusive on-field moment with a soccer star and soaring by helicopter around Christ the Redeemer, to diving into the energy of Carnival with exclusive VIP access, this journey captures the very soul of Rio. Then we’ll continue on to Iguazú Falls, exploring both the Brazilian and Argentinian sides with privileged access and another spectacular helicopter flight, for a perspective on this natural wonder that few others will share."

Every moment of the journey reflects Geoffrey Kent’s signature style of travel: immersive, exclusive and effortless. In Rio, guests enjoy behind-the-scenes access to Maracanã Stadium after the crowds have gone, to join a Brazilian football icon on the pitch, then take a helicopter tour over the city before ascending by private cable car to Sugar Loaf Mountain for an evening set against Rio’s most iconic views. A welcome dinner in a private estate in the Santa Teresa neighborhood sets the tone for a week of celebration, complemented by a stay at Philippe Starck-designed Fasano Hotel overlooking Ipanema Beach.

Total immersion into Carnival begins with all-access passes to stroll the red carpet and attend the Copacabana Palace Magic Ball, Carnival’s most exclusive event. The next day, guests receive special access to a samba school to learn the secrets of the Samba parade. The experience culminates in a night at the Sambadrome, to witnessthe elaborate floats, whirling dancers and pounding drum corps from the comfort of private lounge reserved exclusively for the group.

The journey continues by private charter flight to Iguazu Falls, where guests stay three nights at the Belmond Hotel das Cataratas, the only hotel inside the national park. Before-hours access to the falls, a helicopter flight over the cascades and an exhilarating boat ride to the base of the thundering water provide multiple perspectives on this UNESCO-listed natural wonder. The adventure concludes with an elegant farewell celebration beside the falls.

Every detail is seamlessly handled so guests can simply enjoy every moment. With fully inclusive dining and imaginative cocktail events, Travelling Bell Boy® luggage handling and laundry service throughout, the attentive support of an expert Tour Director and local guides, and a dedicated photographer capturing and sharing the journey in real time and beyond, A&K anticipates the guests’ every need.
