Fly over Rio in a helicopter

There are few more spectacular places in the world to take a helicopter ride than in Rio de Janeiro. Most flights will last for around ten exhilarating minutes and sweep over the bay before circling the world-famous statue of Christ the Redeemer. It will undoubtedly be a highlight of your holiday to Brazil!

Take a walking tour in Salvador

Salvador is a beautiful town with a rich heritage and fascinating history that draws on a variety of cultures and influences. A half-day walking tour with a local guide will give you a unique insight into the city and its past.

Visit the pink river dolphins in the Amazon

You may not associate dolphins with the Amazon Rainforest, but there is a species of dolphin that calls the Amazon River home and we highly recommend a visit to the pink river dolphin sanctuary to meet these friendly mammals. You will have the opportunity to feed them and learn more about the important conservation efforts taking place in the Amazon.

Go on safari in the Pantanal

As the world's largest wetland, the Brazilian Pantanal is one of the best places in South America to spot wildlife, and a safari here is a must! Wildlife includes caiman, howler monkey, giant otter, anaconda, capybara, ocelot, marmoset, tapir, peccary and, if you are lucky, the jaguar. There are also over 500 species of birds!

Dance at the Carnival

Carnival in Brazil is one of the most amazing times to visit the country. While Rio is the centre for most of the carnival celebrations, you will, in fact, find carnivals happening all over the country. It's true that you will pay a premium to visit during Carnival, but if you have ever been even slightly tempted, we can promise you that the extra cost is well worth it!

Rio de Janeiro

Often referred to as the "Marvellous City", we love Rio de Janeiro for its vibrant atmosphere and beautiful setting. You can soak in some of the best views in the world from the statue of Christ the Redeemer in the morning, then head to iconic Copacabana Beach in the afternoon for some sun, sea, cocktails… and some of the best people-watching you'll have ever enjoyed! Go to Rio >

Amazon Rainforest

Brazil is home to the mighty Amazon Rainforest, the largest – and most famous – rainforest in the world. You can stay at a jungle lodge and explore the rainforest with the expert guides or, if you would like to get even further off the beaten track, an Amazon river cruise offers itineraries from three days to one week. Whichever you choose, it will be an experience you'll never forget! Go to Amazon >

Pantanal

The world's largest wetland, the Pantanal is one of the best places in the world for spotting wildlife – more so even than the Amazon! A wildlife haven awaits you, where you can spot caiman, howler monkey, giant otter, anaconda, capybara, ocelot, marmoset, tapir, peccary and, if you are lucky, the jaguar. Go to Pantanal >

North-east Brazil

Northeast Brazil is home to some great destinations, including the enchanting city of Salvador with its gorgeous historic centre, brightly painted buildings, cobbled streets and lively atmosphere. This is also one of the liveliest regions of Brazil, and up and down this stretch of coastline you'll find gorgeous beach spots, charming colonial towns, lively street parties and many friendly locals. Go to Northeast >

Belmond Copacabana Palace, Rio

It's one of the most iconic hotels in Rio de Janeiro and, arguably, the world! If your budget can stretch to the opulence of the Copacabana Palace, then a stay in this fabulous hotel with such a rich history is definitely worth it! Classic décor, white-glove service and a view over one of the most iconic beaches in the world make this our no.1 choice for Rio.

Go to Copacabana Palace > 

Hotel Santa Teresa, Rio

If the bright lights of Copacabana Beach sound a little too much, we highly recommend the Hotel Santa Teresa. Situated up in the hills of Rio, this former plantation building tells of the country's fascinating Portuguese roots. It is now a little oasis of luxury with a great pool and a fantastic restaurant.

Go to Santa Teresa > 

Araras Eco Lodge, Pantanal

Araras Eco Lodge is rustic and friendly, and we think it's one of the best places to go for spotting wildlife in the Pantanal. As one of the original lodges in the area, it has been heavily involved in the conservation of the region and shows guests the very best of the region's wildlife time and time again!

Go to Araras >

Anavilhanas Jungle Lodge, Amazon

Staying in the Amazon doesn't have to mean roughing it in a wooden jungle hut (though many of us enjoy that too!). Anavilhanas is a luxury lodge in the Amazon that offers a great range of excursions each day and a little more comfort upon your return, including a great pool area with views of the amazing Amazon River.

Go to Anvilhanas > 

Chili Beach Resort, North-east

If you are looking for that hidden beach that is off the beaten track, then we have found it for you at Chili Beach. It is quite the journey to get here, but worth it for this six-room boutique hotel that sits on one of Brazil's best beaches, near to the funky town of Jericoacoara.

Go to Chili Beach > 

Casa Turquesa, Paraty

Casa Turquesa is a chic and contemporary guesthouse centrally located in the colonial town of Paraty. The façade of the building is an 18th-century colonial townhouse, while on the inside it's a stylish and serene retreat. It's a great base from which to explore Paraty.

Go to Casa Turquesa >
