Our editor stayed incognito at a stylish boutique hotel and one of Rio's most storied addresses — with mixed results.
The beautiful beaches, unspoiled villages and vibrant cities drew us to Bahia, as did three hotels, in Trancoso and Salvador.
A private tour took our writer to see the natural side of Rio, including a beach club, a coastal lagoon and Sítio Roberto Burle Marx, a UNESCO site.
High-end restaurants in Rio often serve either Italian, sushi or steaks. Instead, we found three that feature ambitious takes on Brazilian cuisine.
Salvador's culinary offerings explode with bold flavors and textures, whether in street food or fine dining. Here are three eateries we enjoyed.
The languages, religion, food traditions and music of West Africa flourish in Brazil. An in-depth tour of Salvador gave us a look at those influences.
In the laid-back town of Trancoso, you'll find hidden beach clubs and top-notch cuisine, and maybe even a barefoot billionaire eating beside you.
