Top Brazil Experiences

In Search of Jaguars

One of the world’s most spectacular big cats, there is nowhere better to spot jaguars 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. Perfect for those looking for active adventures on holiday. Read our expert’s guide to the best chance to see jaguars.

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.

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! Few waterfalls on Earth compare to the size and scale, 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. Read more about also including the Argentina side of Iguazu in our slow travel holiday.

Brazil holiday packages and tours: Frequently Asked Questions

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

When is the Best Month To Visit Brazil?

Brazil can be visited all year, but the best time depends on what you want to see. Jaguar season in the Pantanal runs from June to November, with the best sightings from mid-June to August, when jaguars gather along the riverbanks. December to March is warmest for Rio and the beaches, and when Iguazu Falls is at its fullest. The Amazon is rewarding all year, with higher water levels from around January to June making it easier to explore by boat. Read more about the best time to see jaguars. Want to combine Brazil with other destinations in South America? Read more about including Chile, Ecuador or Colombia in your holiday.

Is Brazil an Expensive Holiday?

Our Brazil holidays start from £2,900 per person for two weeks, up to around £6,500 for a luxury trip including the Pantanal and the Amazon. Read our guide to how much a South America holiday costs.

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. Our Brazil holidays from the UK will always be competitively priced.

Where is the best place to see jaguars in Brazil?

The Northern Pantanal is the best place in the world to see wild jaguars, with boat safaris from Porto Jofre giving a high chance of sightings in the dry season. Our Wild Brazil: Pantanal, Iguazu and Rio itinerary includes three nights there. Read our expert Sinead’s tips on the best chance to see jaguars.

How long do you need for a Brazil holiday?

Two weeks is enough to combine two or three regions, such as the Pantanal, Iguazu and Rio. Three weeks lets you add the Amazon or the Green Coast, or explore southern Brazil slowly by train and road.

Is Brazil Friendly To Tourists?

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. You can always check the status of a country for extra peace of mind, on the UK government’s foreign travel advice.
