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.
Day 6-8: Amazon
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. Your award-winning lodge staff will guide you through the local flora and fauna, by canoe, jungle hikes, boat trips, and up into their canopy observation towers. You will also learn about their impressive and crucial conservation work, blending both cultural and environmental needs.

Continue your Jaguars, Jungle & beach Brazil holiday.
