Brazil doesn’t follow a single rhythm.
It shifts from city to rainforest, wetland to island, slow river journeys to pulse-quickening wildlife encounters.That variety is part of its appeal, but it can also make knowing where to begin harder.
Whether you want to maximise time on safari, travel somewhere few others reach or plan a family trip that combines real adventure with time to unwind, our Specialists can shape Brazil around you.
Below are four ideas to get you started, each offering a different way into this vast and varied country.
The Island Brazil Keeps Quiet
Off Brazil’s north-east coast, Fernando de Noronha is a protected marine reserve of clear waters, coral reefs, caves and shipwrecks. This UNESCO-listed archipelago offers some of Brazil’s best snorkelling and diving, with turtles, sharks and more than 200 species of fish. Take the opportunity to visit Project Golfinho Rotador to learn about vital spinner dolphin conservation.

A Family Journey With Bite
Begin in Rio, where Sugarloaf Mountain rises above the city, forest and sea. Continue to Iguacu Falls, walking rainforest trails and feeling the spray from the thundering cascades. Then head north into the Pantanal, looking for jaguar, caiman and capybara. For families with more time, add an Amazon cruise or a stay at Cristalino Lodge for a wild finale to an already remarkable family adventure.

From Snow to Samba
Pair Brazil with Argentina on a 15-day journey of sharp contrasts and natural spectacle. Hike among the glaciers and mountains of Patagonia, stand before the Perito Moreno Glacier and experience the energy of Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro. Between them, Iguazu Falls brings both countries together in a thunderous meeting of water, forest and borderland.
