FIRST‑CLASS Brazil TRAVEL EXPERIENCE
Brazil is the fifth-largest country on the planet, stretching from the deep Amazon rainforest — the most biodiverse ecosystem on earth — across more than 4,500 miles of Atlantic coastline. Inside its borders sit one of the New 7 Wonders of the World (Christ the Redeemer), two of the New 7 Wonders of Nature (the Amazon and Iguazu Falls), the largest wetland on earth (the Pantanal, ten times the size of the Everglades), the largest collection of Baroque and Colonial architecture in Latin America (Salvador), and Fernando de Noronha, an island whose Sancho Bay has been voted the #1 beach in the world by TripAdvisor users six separate years. Pick a destination below to start exploring — and let’s start designing your trip.
The mighty Iguazu Falls are a spectacle unlike any other, with 275 cascading waterfalls creating one of the most awe-inspiring natural wonders on Earth. Nearly twice as tall and almost three times as wide as Niagara Falls, their sheer power and beauty are mesmerizing.
Recognized as one of the “New Seven Wonders of Nature” in a global competition with over 100 million voters, they have also been declared a UNESCO World Heritage site for their ecological and geological significance.
Crashing through the heart of a tropical rainforest, Iguazu Falls creates a breathtaking natural spectacle, an unmissable destination to visit!
Rio de Janeiro has been chosen the #1 tourist destination in South America by millions of voters on Trip Advisor in 2017, and has been declared a World Heritage Site by the United Nations for its natural and artistic beauty. Also, the city has been declared the first World Capital of Architecture by the UNESCO and the Council of the International Union of Architects in 2019, as a recognition to the architectural treasures that show the city’s culture and history since the 16th century.
From the top of the Corcovado mountain, you can enjoy some of the most awe-inspiring panoramic views of the "Cidade Maravilhosa" (the Marvelous City, as Rio is commonly known) and to amaze yourself with the “Christ the Redeemer” statue, Rio’s most renowned icon and one of the winners of the "New 7 Wonders of the World" worldwide competition in which more than 100 million votes were cast. The natural setting of Rio features the largest natural reserve in the world within an urban setting, imposing mountains and lagoons, beautiful beaches, and also a quaint historic (and also hip) neighborhood that harbors beautiful remnants from Brazil’s Imperial past (Brazil was the only Empire ever in the Americas). Rio also offers world-class dining in a variety of cuisines and a vast array of delicious and exotic fruits and natural juice (arguably the largest variety in the world!).
Salvador da Bahia has been declared “Cultural Heritage of Humanity” by the UNESCO, and in 2018 it was selected by Lonely Planet as one of the top 10 regions in the world to visit. Once the largest city in Brazil, as well as its first capital, it is home to the largest collection of Baroque and Colonial architecture in all of Latin America. Having once been the largest slave trade market in the Americas (7 times more slaves from Africa have been brought to this city alone, than to the entire United States), it remains to this day the epicenter of Afro-Brazilian heritage for all things music, dance and religion. Bahia’s local cuisine is a unique and tasty blend of Portuguese, native Brazilian and African flavors and aromas that’s not to be missed.
Discover Fernando de Noronha
Exclusive haven for marine wildlife and home to the #1 beach in the world
The exclusive island of Fernando de Noronha features the #1 beach in the world, as voted by millions of travelers on Trip Advisor in 2014, 2015, 2017 and 2019; and has been designated Natural Heritage of Mankind by the UNESCO for being a haven for marine wildlife. Its unbeatable climate year-round, breathtaking landscapes and rich marine wildlife make it a unique place to enjoy beach hopping, snorkeling, scuba diving and boating. Enjoy swimming among a collection of multi-colored fish and sea turtles, admiring Spinner Dolphins (which can spin up to an impressive 7 times in a single jump!) while you witnessing a picture-perfect, orange and tangerine imbued sunset.
Discover Amazon Rainforest
The most bio-diverse ecosystem on Earth, chosen as one of the "New 7 Wonders of Nature" by over 100 million voters
The Amazon Rainforest has been elected one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature by over 100 million voters worldwide, and declared a World Heritage Site by the United Nations. The Amazon is the most biodiverse ecosystem on Earth: 20% of all birds on the planet live there, in a single hectare you can find as many different species of trees as in the entire United States and Canada, and its river has more species of fish than all the rivers of Europe combined. It is also, by far, the greatest and most valuable source of oxygen and fresh water on our planet.
In the Amazon jungle you can hike across the thick forest while learning jungle survival techniques and appreciating some of the amazing properties of unique plant species. You can also enjoy jungle navigations, surrounded by the constant cacophony of chirping and singing produced by birds, insects and animals. Also you can meet villagers and learn about their lifestyle, and embark on nighttime navigation adventures in search of caimans.
