The Amazon, Rio's Carnaval, Iguazú Falls, Salvador's music, and some of the world's greatest beaches.
Brazil is enormous — the second largest country in the Americas and it feels it. The beaches, the Amazon, the cities, the food, the music scene, and the energy of a place that genuinely loves being alive. Budget carefully — it's not as cheap as its neighbours.
Each region has a completely different character. Here is what to expect.
Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf at sunset, Lapa arches at night, Ipanema and Copacabana beaches. Favela community tours with operators that return money to the community give essential context.
The African heart of Brazil — the Pelourinho district (UNESCO), Capoeira in the streets, candomble ceremonies, and moqueca fish stew in local restaurants.
River boat journeys from Manaus to Belem take 4-5 days (hammock, meals included, £30-50). The meeting of the Rio Negro and Amazon — dark and brown water flowing side by side without mixing for kilometres.
The world's largest tropical wetland — vastly better than the Amazon for wildlife spotting because the flat open landscape means you can actually see the animals. Jaguar sightings more reliable than anywhere else on earth.
Brazil varies enormously.
Rio and Sao Paulo £40-60/day.
Northeast and Amazon region £25-35/day.
Buses are the budget backbone.
Street food (pao de queijo, acai bowls) £1-2.
Choose Amazon ecotourism lodges certified by ABETA. In Rio, favela tours should only be booked with operators employing local guides who return at least 50% of revenue to the community. Pantanal: choose operators who support Jaguar conservation projects.
