Open your eyes wide and hold your breath! The nature and wildlife of Brazil will bewilder you.
Our journey starts in North Pantanal. Considered a World Natural Heritage and Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO, the Pantanal concentrates one of the largest diversity of fauna and flora on the planet. About 250 species of fish, 80 of mammals, 50 of reptiles, and over 650 of birds live there in perfect harmony. It is a feast for the eyes, and our tours are the opportunity for great encounters.
From there we take a transfer to a nearby destination, but with a completely different scenery: Chapada dos Guimarães. Its majestic natural landscape boasts waterfalls, rugged cliffs, plunging canyons, and has granted the area a national park status.
In the southern Brazilian Amazon, not only will we be immersed in the forest, but in one of the best spots for animal watching: the Cristalino Lodge. The lodge is located in the middle of the first private natural heritage reserve of this region, on the banks of the majestic Cristalino River, with its clean and calm waters. The property has several jungle trails, as well as two observation towers, from which special creatures of the Amazon are sure to be spotted.
For a lovely ending, Rio de Janeiro is nothing if not exhilarating. Surrounded by gorgeous mountains, white-sand beaches, and verdant rainforests facing the deep blue sea, Rio spreads out across one of the most spectacular natural settings of any metropolis in the world. Beaches, forests, and local culture with plenty of options for all tastes.
