Top Brazil Experiences

Leopard

In Search of Jaguars

One of the world’s most spectacular big cats, there is nowhere better to spot Jaguar’s than in Brazil’s Northern Pantanal. In recent years there has been a very high success rate of finding these creatures on dedicated boat safaris from Porto Jofre, with the help of the outstanding local guides. If you picture the Amazon when thinking of Jaguar-spotting, forget it, the Pantanal is the place to go.

Green coast

Discover the Green Coast

Just a few hours’ drive from Rio de Janeiro, you will find paradise beaches, dramatic coastal scenery, mangrove forests, waterfalls, and ample opportunity for hiking and kayaking.

Stay on stunning Ilha Grande, in the colonial seaside town of Paraty, or Saco do Mamangua, the only tropical Fjord in Brazil. Or even better, combine all three (with Rio) for an unforgettable two-week deep-dive into adventure travel in Brazil.

Waterfalls

The World’s Mightiest Waterfalls

We often like to suggest off-the-beaten-track things, but in the case of the famous Iguazu Falls, we just can’t resist! No other series of waterfalls on Earth compares to the size, scale, and mesmerising beauty of this place.

Nestled amidst lush rainforest, you’ll also have the chance to spot an array of wildlife including Capuchin Monkeys, Toucans, Aracaris, Agoutis, and Coatis (jaguars have also been spotted, but are very rare). With so many incredible sights on offer, Iguazu Falls holidays are always a good idea.

Brazil Eco Holidays: Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at info@traveldifferently.co.uk if you cannot find an answer to your question.

As a year-round destination where temperatures rarely sink below 20°C, there is never a wrong time for tours to Brazil. December to March, however, is often hailed as the best period to visit the country as these are the warmest months. Temperatures hover between 27°C and 33°C, offering the perfect conditions for Brazil beach holidays.

Renowned for its world-class adventure tourism, Brazil is indeed one of the pricier countries to visit in Latin America. However, exploring Brazil remains considerably less costly compared to popular destinations in places like Europe and the United States.

While our tours to Brazil include visits to major cities such as Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, where expenses may be higher, we also venture into rural areas where prices are lower.

Brazil is generally a very friendly country to tourists. The country is known for its warm and welcoming hospitality, with locals often eager to help visitors and share their culture. We believe that luxury holidays in Brazil are never complete without engaging with the local communities, so we create opportunities for our travellers to get to know those living in the areas they are visiting.

Travel Brazil Greener

Our adventure holidays in Brazil have been specially designed to help our clients take a greener approach to exploring the country. We do this by exclusively collaborating with environmentally friendly and sustainable properties and activity providers.

We also recognise that many of our clients travel from far afield for our luxury Brazil holidays. We offset the carbon emissions of every trip that involves a flight by 150% of their calculated value. In doing so, we hope to ensure that each of our trips has a net positive impact.

Travel Brazil Slower

Travel Differently was founded on the idea of slow travel which is why we do not offer tours lasting fewer than 12 days. In doing so, we encourage our clients to fully experience everything the country has to offer.

By offering longer trips, we aim to reduce emissions from future flights. Our Brazilian tours also involve travelling by land wherever possible rather than flying. This initiative not only helps reduce air travel emissions but also ensures that the benefits of tourism are spread across a wider segment of society, contributing to the local economy and community development.

What’s more, our carbon offset schemes go beyond environmental conservation, aiming to alleviate poverty, reduce inequality, and decrease reliance on fossil fuels.
