Detailed Brazil Itinerary
Day 1-3: Pantanal
Begin your Jaguars, Jungle & beach luxury Brazil adventure in the breathtaking Pantanal. During your time here, explore the huge diversity of flora and fauna by river boat, canoe, walking trails, 4×4 jeeps and horseback. Among the biodiversity are 35 species of mammals (including the jaguar), 352 species of birds, and over a mighty 10 million caimans!
If you are especially keen to see jaguars, we can arrange an extension to Porto Jofre where sightings are very common.
Day 4-5: Chapada dos Guimarães
Driving north from your Pantanal lodge, take the time to go off-the-beaten-track amongst the Savannah Tablelands. Chapada dos Guimarães is a national park of dramatic views, rocky canyons, crystal-clear waterfalls, refreshing river swims and calming birdsong. Return each evening to your boutique pousada and take a short walk to witness the stunning sunset over São Geronimo Peak.

Travel by plane, car and boat to the deep Southern Amazon, a million miles (metaphorically) from the tourist crowds that head to Manaus further north.

You will also learn about their impressive and crucial conservation work, blending both cultural and environmental needs.
