Tailor Made Brazil Holidays 2025 & 2026 

Best known for carnaval, samba, football, beaches and the Amazon, Brazil is a vast, vibrant country, with a huge diversity of people, culture and picturesque landscapes. 

 

Rio de Janeiro, famed for its carnaval, is a buzzing coastal city that truly never sleeps. With Copacabana and Ipanema; the statue of Christ; Sugar Loaf Mountain; shops and bars galore; and the Atlantic rainforest surrounding the city, a stay here will leave you with an array of incredible memories. 

 

Endless palm-fringed beaches and colonial fishing ports can be found along the length of the Atlantic coast. The city of Salvador is at the heart of Afro-Brazilian culture in the north-eastern state of Bahia, where you will find candomblé religious ceremonies and capoeira martial arts, as well as the unmistakable samba and bossa nova, amidst beautiful old colonial buildings. For some well-preserved Baroque Portuguese colonial architecture and cobblestone streets, head to Ouro Preto, once one of the main areas of the Brazilian gold-rush era. 

 

A stay in a remote jungle lodge in the Amazon rainforest is a hot, steamy highlight of many a trip to Brazil, where you can learn about the fragile ecosystem and its many diverse tropical plant and animal species. The Pantanal wetlands, with their fascinating, unspoiled waterways, are a hotspot for nature enthusiasts, being home to the elusive jaguar, as well as hyacinth macaws, capybaras, anteaters, caiman and tapirs. The spectacular Iguaçu Falls, on the border with Argentina, and surrounded by a subtropical nature reserve, are a sight not to be missed. 

 

Whatever you are looking for in a holiday, you will find it and more in this beautiful, lively, welcoming country.
