Experiences

What kind of trip is this?

Most people know how they want a trip to feel before they know where it goes. These are the six shapes ours usually take. They combine, too. Almost nobody picks just one.

  • A jabiru stork in the Pantanal
  • Cacao pods opened by hand in Bahia
  • A 4x4 running along the beach near Jericoacoara
  • A narrow channel through flooded Amazon forest
  • Oyster farming in Florianópolis
  • An oasis settlement in the Lençóis dunes
  • Giant otters on a Pantanal river
  • Snorkelling at Lagoa Azul, Ilha Grande
  • Vineyards in the Vale dos Vinhedos
  • A canoe in a Bahian mangrove channel
  • A jaguar photographed in the Brazilian wetlands

    Wildlife & wilderness

    Jaguars on the rivers of the northern Pantanal. Giant otters and hyacinth macaws. The Amazon by boat and on foot. These trips bend the itinerary around what the animals are doing.

    Pantanal · Amazon · Bonito · Chapada dos Veadeiros

  • Sunset over a Brazilian beach

    Beaches & islands

    Car-free islands off the Costa Verde. The reef pools of the Northeast. Fernando de Noronha, and the 42 beaches of Florianópolis. Somewhere in Brazil has warm water in every month of the year.

  • A capoeira roda by firelight in Bahia

    Culture & cities

    Salvador and Afro-Brazilian Bahia. The baroque gold towns of Minas. São Paulo for food and art, Rio for all of it at once. We use guides who belong to the culture, not visitors to it.

    Salvador · Rio · São Paulo · Minas Gerais

  • Trekking across the dunes of the Lençóis Maranhenses

    Walking & expeditions

    The multi-day crossing of the Lençóis dunes. The Vale do Pati in Chapada Diamantina. The Rota das Emoções by 4x4 and boat. Longer, harder, and the trips people talk about afterward.

  • Cacao being roasted over a fire in Bahia

    Food & drink

    The cacao coast of southern Bahia. Oyster farms in Santa Catarina. The wine valleys of Rio Grande do Sul, Amazonian cooking in Belém, and eating your way through Minas.

    Bahia · Minas Gerais · Serra Gaúcha · Belém

  • A quiet beach on the Costa Verde near Paraty

    Slow & quiet

    Fewer stops, longer stays, and places most itineraries skip. For people who would rather know one corner of Brazil well than rush through six of them.

    Costa Verde · Alter do Chão · Praia do Rosa · Atins

Five of these are already written up in full, day by day, below. The rest live on the regional map for now, and the planning page gets you a straight answer about any of them.
