Top Brazil Experiences
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. Perfect for those looking for active adventures on holiday.
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! 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. Read more about also including the Argentina side of Iguazu in our slow travel holiday.

Why Book a Brazil Luxury Eco Holiday With Travel Differently
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.
Travel Brazil Fairer
Each of our luxury Brazil tour holidays contributes to supporting and engaging with local communities in order to contribute towards fairer travel. We collaborate exclusively with partners who share our commitment to sustainability and social development, ensuring that those in the destinations we visit reap the benefits of tourism.
What’s more, our carbon offset schemes go beyond environmental conservation, aiming to alleviate poverty, reduce inequality, and decrease reliance on fossil fuels. Read more about our firm commitment to responsible travel in South America.
Travel Brazil Better
When embarking on one of our Brazil adventure tours, you can rest assured that each itinerary has been carefully created to allow you to travel better. By this we mean, in a more climate-friendly, fair and slow way.
In addition to our eco-conscious approach, each of our luxury Brazil tours is fully customisable and can be tailored to your preferences. With direct contact with our founder, every client receives personalised attention, guaranteeing that your trip is uniquely crafted to meet your individual needs and interests.

You can visit Brazil year-round, with the most popular being their summer (Dec-Mar) for the warmest weather (plus Carnival), and the northern hemisphere school summer holidays (July & Aug). There are fantastic wildlife-spotting and beach-break opportunities in-between these busy periods, so there really is no bad time to travel!
