Luxury Travel in Brazil
From the magnificence of the Igazu Falls to Rio’s pristine beaches and soaring mountains, Brazil is undoubtedly one of the finest jewels of South America.
Larger than the continental United States and occupying nearly half of South America’s landmass, Brazil is immense. Home to the largest rainforest, longest river and greatest biodiversity on the planet, it’s a simply dazzling destination.
The fabled golden beaches of Rio, Bahia and a hundred other places are no lie. The easy-going lifestyle is every bit as seductive as you’ve been told. Venture deeper, and the wonders keep coming. You can track jaguars, tapirs and giant anteaters in the Pantanal wetlands, which hold the greatest density of wildlife in the Americas. Explore lush island archipelagos from a yacht, stopping off at secret snorkelling spots and ‘in the know’ restaurants. Travel up remote Amazonian tributaries to spend time with indigenous rainforest communities. Or drive a 4×4 across vast sand seas whose hollows miraculously fill with water every year.
"Wherever you go, whatever you do during your time in this utterly magnificent country, it’s impossible to return from Brazil unchanged."
Travelling to Brazil with Explorations opens up a world of unprecedented access and style. Our black book contains luminaries of gastronomy, music, conservation and more, all of whom we can bring into your itinerary to elevate your experience. Explore the markets of Belo Horizonte with a top chef before cooking up a storm in a private masterclass. Create your own carnival costume with a celebrated fashion designer before taking part in the Champions’ Parade. Track some of the planet’s most endearing (and threatened) monkeys with a leading primatologist.
On our books are everything from Brazil’s most jaw-dropping private beach retreats to remote jungle lodges and chic fishermen’s cottages. Getting around such a huge country seamlessly can present a logistical challenge at times, especially when you travel off the beaten path. Our long experience working in Brazil means we are perfectly placed to offer bespoke time-saving solutions such as using a light aircraft or chartering a private expedition yacht. Navigating Brazil’s complex climates also takes some doing, and we can ensure that you’re never in the wrong place at the wrong time of year.
Lovers of adventure, architecture, art, botany, design, fashion, food, music, ornithology, sport and so much more will all find rich ground when travelling in Brazil. And then there’s the indigenous people, whose knowledge and understanding of their environment simply defies belief. Their rock art has adorned remote caves for thousands of years. Their customs and traditions are immeasurably rich and valuable. Brazil has natural resources beyond count, and one of the world’s fastest-emerging economies, yet the disparities in wealth and power are often startling. Chic villas stand cheek-by-jowl with desperate slums. Indigenous rainforest tribes are driven off their ancestral lands by big agro.
There are no easy solutions, but there’s no doubt that an effervescent spirit, music and the great unifying force of football are effective ways to escape, if only for a moment. Wherever you go, whatever you do during your time in this utterly magnificent country, it’s impossible to return from Brazil unchanged.
