Brazil Honeymoon Itinerary: Day by Day
Day 1-4: Amazon Rainforest
Your honeymoon to Brazil starts in Manaus, the gateway to the mighty Amazon Rainforest staying at Juma amazon Lodge. Relax and get settled in, ready for some incredible wildlife adventures. Spend your time in the Amazon with your guide, getting out and seeing the wonders of nature. Small boats take you to the Meeting of the Waters, where the dark Rio Negro and sandy Solimões run side by side, then deep into the rainforest. Explore on foot and choose from a range of nature hikes with varying lengths. Go kayaking, learn fishing and feel the thrill of a rainforest night walk. With the sun setting, evening bird-song, the wind in the trees and wildlife all around you… this is a really magical experience.
Our experts can include as much luxury and upgrades as budgets allow. It’s your honeymoon after all, some special touches and delicious meals in the jungle will turn this into a special trip.

Day 5-7: Iguazu Falls
The Iguazu Falls needs to be seen to be believed. After a flight from Manaus, your honeymoon adventure will cover both the Brazilian and Argentinian sides of the mighty falls, so you get to see it all. The 275 falls of the Iguazu River spread out into a 2,700-metre semicircle, right in front of your eyes. There are several viewpoints and walks to choose. We recommend in particular the Devil’s Throat, to truly feel the colossal power and intensity of this natural wonder. Covering the Argentina side means there are even more trails, boardwalks and panoramic views to be enjoyed.
Our guides will go out of their way to find you some quiet spots away from the crowds to take in this once in a lifetime sight.
Day 8-10: Rio de Janeiro
Colours, music, food, history, culture, effortlessly cool locals…Rio de Janeiro might just be one of the best cities on earth. A perfect addition to your Brazil honeymoon, Rio de Janeiro is an awesome place to explore and immerse yourself into. Our Rio highlights tour will cover the classics; Corcovado and Christ the Redeemer, Santa Teresa with cobbled streets and colonial charm. Take the cable car to Sugarloaf Mountain for some of the best views.
Relax on Copacabana beach, see a volleyball game, grab a cold beer and soak up the unique atmosphere. There are some world class restaurants in Rio, as well as delicious street bites and places to enjoy cocktails. Do things differently by taking a private ocean kayaking trip. Paddling round the rock of Sugarloaf Mountain with Rio as your backdrop is a real highlight.
Day 11-14: Beach
Time for some well-deserved down time, on some of the most beautiful beaches in South America. A private drive takes you to Buzios, a charming town blessed with sandy beaches, cute cafes, quaint bars and amazing seafood restaurants. Relax and do as little as you like, or set off on a schooner tour to hidden islands, where you can swim, snorkel and discover secluded spots away from crowds.
Our Brazil honeymoon is designed to pack a punch with amazing wildlife activities and nature adventures… but also give you time to relax and catch a breath after a busy wedding period. We will suggest a gorgeous boutique hotel to really unwind, nearby to some lovely places to eat and explore. Looking for more honeymoon ideas? See our 9 best honeymoons in Latin America.

When to Go
Best time for a Brazil honeymoon
The best months for this honeymoon are May to October, when the Amazon is drier for walks and wildlife, Iguazu is still impressive, and Rio and Búzios are warm and sunny without the peak summer crowds. December to March is hottest and busiest on the coast, and when Iguazu Falls is at its fullest. Ask us which month suits your wedding date.
