Brazil for Holidays
Brazil, the largest country in South America, is also one of its most colourful; from the stunning costumes of the carnival dancers in Rio de Janeiro to the rainbow feathers of a scarlet macaw in the Amazon rainforest. Due to its size, it offers a whole host of unforgettable experiences, which are made even more special by the friendly people, interesting mix of cultures and traditions, excellent food, and the ever-present rhythms of samba.
This year, we recommend you experience the three most famous sights in the south of Brazil on a tour that combines beaches, city, and wildlife. In Rio, visit the legendary statue of Christ the Redeemer as well Sugar Loaf Mountain, where you will get wonderful views of the whole city. Then, enjoy the experience of seeing the roaring Iguassú Falls from both the Brazilian and Argentine sides then depart for the Pantanal, the world’s largest wetlands. Spending three nights in Caiman Lodge, you will get the chance to go off-road, caiman spotting and join nocturnal tours.
