Helpful Planning Tips
Brazil is a huge country, so the best holidays usually focus on a few key highlights rather than trying to cover too much in one trip. Rio and Iguazu Falls are a very popular starting point.
If you want to go further, adding the Amazon or Salvador gives the itinerary a very different feel, while multi-country combinations with Argentina or Peru work especially well.
If you are not sure whether to travel independently or join an escorted tour, that is exactly where we can help. Brazil is one of those destinations where the right route makes all the difference.
Brazil holidays offer an unforgettable mix of iconic cities, natural wonders and rich cultural energy. From the famous beaches and mountains of Rio de Janeiro to the dramatic power of Iguazu Falls and the wildlife of the Amazon, Brazil is packed with variety and wow-factor. It is a destination that works brilliantly for first-time South America trips, broader multi-centre holidays and escorted cultural touring.
Whether you want to plan a classic Rio and Iguazu itinerary, add the Amazon, explore Brazil’s coastline or combine the country with Argentina or Peru, Brazil offers huge flexibility and some of the most rewarding travel experiences anywhere in the Americas.
