Is rail your thing? Do you love soaking in the views while you get pampered by the crew of a luxury train? If yes, then there is a new luxury traincruise from Brazil called the Great Brazil Express. This is the first such train in South America and promises a scenic route through southern Brazil while soaking it's occupants in luxury. The Great Brazil Express consists of two carriages which are done up in colonial style and are influenced greatly by Brazilian fauna and flora. Each carriage seats 22 passengers who are pampered with amenities including: comfortable chairs and couches, big windows to guarantee maximum view, a fully stocked bar and scumptuous snacks. Overnight stays are booked at luxury hotels in the towns enroute. The train also stops at fine restaurants for major meals.

The traincruise begins in Curitiba, inn the south eastern part of Brazil, from where you chug along to the famous Iguassu waterfalls on the border of Brazil and Argentina which is the final stop and is reached in 8-9 days. The GBE passes through little towns in southern Brazil that are still very much undiscovered by tourists, like Itagi, Tibagi, Castro, Morettes and Antonina.

The train started off in April this year and offers 4 trips a month on average. The Great Brazil Express has already received the Brazil Award of Embratur (Brazilian tourist board) for being the most innovative tourist product of the 2008.
