Brazil Tours

Brazil Tours

Covering half of South America, Brazil is a giant, crammed with experiences and cultures found nowhere else on earth. The sheer size can be daunting, but our expert tour leaders can show you their country, from the best views at Christ the Redeemer to the top spots to sip cachaça like a true Brasileiro, and the secrets of the remote Pantanal wetlands and Amazon Rainforest.  

For a highlights-packed adventure, join our Discover Brazil trip, which starts with the wonders of Rio de Janeiro, before moving to the jungle-backed coastal town of Paraty and the majestic cascades of Iguaçu Falls. It finishes with an immersive stay in the remote Amazon Rainforest, living among an indigenous community by the Rio Negro. 

Alternatively, head into the wild Pantanal region, the world’s largest tropical wetland. Here lives more than 700 bird species and 300 different mammals, including tapirs, anteaters, and (the star of the show) the elusive jaguar. 

The largest and most elusive feline in the Americas is notoriously tricky to spot in the wild. But since we’ve been running our Land of the Jaguar trip to the northern Pantanal, our groups have had a 90% success rate in spotting these amazing cats.  

In focus: Jaguar spotting in the Pantanal

Wild and remote, the Pantanal extends from the Amazon and is the world’s largest tropical wetland, straddling the borders of Brazil, Paraguay and Bolivia. Its plains and low scrubby forests are home to over 1000 species of bird and 300 different mammals, including tapirs, anteaters, jabiru storks, the striking hyacinth macaw and, of course, the jaguar.

The largest and most elusive feline in the Americas (and the third-biggest cat in the world after tigers and lions), it’s notoriously tricky to spot in the wild. But since we’ve been running tours to the northern Pantanal, our groups have had 100% success rate in spotting these amazing cats. Jaguars are solitary predators, formidable opponents on land, and strong swimmers known to frequent the waterways we will explore on our Brazil tours to the Pantanal. We divide our time here between a houseboat and a lodge, journeying deep into the region…
