Brazil is the land of the carnival! Home to the seaside city of Rio de Janeiro, it is a place that can teach the world how to party. A visit during the Rio Carnival or on New Year's Eve will be a celebration that you will treasure for a lifetime. A trip to Rio can't be complete without taking in the view from the top of sugar loaf mountain and the statue of Christ the Redeemer.
Our holidays to Brazil start from £2,280 per person,
Beyond the buzz of Rio and the charms of Copacabana beach, there is a vibrant and exciting country waiting for you to explore. Brazil has been recognised as the world's top wildlife destination, home to the vast Amazon Rainforest and the rich wetlands of the Pantanal, the incredible range of wildlife you can see here includes jaguar, caiman, capybara, harpy eagles, toucans and scarlet macaws.
Brazil's beaches are spectacular. Its coastline has everything from secluded islands like Fernando de Noronha, to bustling cities like Salvador, and dreamy historic fishing villages like Paraty and Buzios. Brazil's beaches are a little taste of paradise, a great spot to relax, unwind and enjoy the fresh sea breeze and warm tropical waters.
A tour of Iguazu Falls is a real must. These thundering cascades sit on the border between Brazil and Argentina and can make for a convenient crossing point if you wish to continue your tour of South America in Argentina.
Choosing what you want to pack into your Brazil's holiday can be a little overwhelming. This is where Latin Routes can help as all of our holidays to Brazil are tailor-made around you.

Fly over Rio in a helicopter
There are few more spectacular places in the world to take a helicopter ride than Rio de Janeiro. Most flights will last for around 10 exhilarating minutes and sweep over the bay before circling the world-famous statue of Christ the Redeemer. It will 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. 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
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 also find carnivals all over Brazil. It's true that you will pay a premium to visit during Carnival but if you have ever been tempted, the 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.

Amazon Rainforest
Brazil is home to the Amazon Rainforest, one of the largest rainforests in the world.

Pantanal
The best place for spotting wildlife in Brazil is the Pantanal. 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 >

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 a 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 sounds 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.
Preferred Hotel Benefit: Latin Routes clients will receive a welcome drink & 10% off of food and beverages.
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 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 best of 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 lodge (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 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 6-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.
