Brazil Tour Overview

Everyone passes through Rio de Janeiro, one of the world’s great cities, with Copacabana and Ipanema beaches, old-world glamour mixed with a funky, easy-going vibe. Don’t miss the sunset on Sugar Loaf mountain for the instagrammable shot of the city and Christ the Redeemer statue. Brazil’s other cities to add on a tailor-made tour include Salvador, where you can feel like you’re in West Africa one minute and Portugal the next, it’s a town of music and passion.

Few places in the world match Brazil for natural highs. In the Amazon rainforest, we recommend a few nights cruise to appreciate the huge river and getting away from the modern world. Iguazu Falls in the far south bordering Argentina are we think the best waterfalls in the world. You need two days to see them. Pantanal is certainly less known, but it is the premier area for wildlife. A vast protected wetland offering safari Brazilian style. A perfect starting point would be A Big Trip to Brazil

Brazil Beaches

Brazil has South America’s best beaches. It’s undisputed! For a nice relaxing end to a big trip or a slowdown pure beach stay, there are some ultra-cool and purely Brazilian resorts stretched along 4,500 miles of coastline.

Some of the best beaches are found in the tropical north, those long cliched stretches of white sand. We’ve put a variety together on Brazil Honeymoon and Beach Hopping. There’s Trancoso in Bahia state and in the far north Jericoacoara and the paradise islands of Fernando de Noronha. In the south not far from Rio de Janeiro, there are resort towns like Buzios and colonial Paraty as well as Angra dos Reis, all with stylishly Brazilian boutique hotels. Further south by Florianopolis you find upmarket resorts making a great base for whale watching. South America Travel Specialist can help you find the right beach for you, whether it be at the end of a full tour of Brazil or a tailor-made city and beach mini-adventure.
