Day 1
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Granite peaks rise above Guanabara Bay; the city reaches toward the Atlantic. From the port, the landmarks are unmistakable: Sugarloaf Mountain guards the bay, and Christ the Redeemer watches from Corcovado. Balance the grand views with street-level pleasures: Copacabana, Ipanema, and the leafy avenues of the South Zone. Choose one or two sights, then leave room for a long lunch and the city’s beach culture.

Day 10
Praia
Praia is Cape Verde’s capital, set on Santiago, the largest island in the archipelago. Begin in the Plateau, the hilltop centre, where pastel façades, shaded squares and the Presidential Palace recall Portuguese rule. Then visit Sucupira market for everyday island life and Creole flavours. Just west, Cidade Velha’s UNESCO-listed fort and cathedral ruins mark Cape Verde’s first Portuguese settlement. Praia rewards travellers who look beyond the waterfront.

Day 14
Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain
Santa Cruz de Tenerife is more than an island gateway. This Atlantic capital rewards a closer look. Browse the stalls at Mercado de Nuestra Señora de África, then follow the old streets towards Plaza de España. Its broad avenues, shaded plazas and market cafés make wandering pleasantly straightforward. Modern landmarks include the sculptural Auditorio de Tenerife, while palm-lined parks offer a welcome pause. Mount Teide rises inland; the golden sands of Las Teresitas lie within reach.
