Adventure Tours & Trips in Brazil
Ready for adventure across Brazil? You're trekking in Chapada Diamantina with waterfalls and caves, rafting, possibly climbing Pico da Neblina. It’s the Amazon for jungle survival experiences, Pantanal for wildlife, and Fernando de Noronha for world-class diving. Hang gliding in Rio, surfing in Florianópolis, and sandboarding in Lençóis Maranhenses dunes. The outdoor opportunities rival anywhere, and Brazilian energy makes everything more fun.

Rio de Janeiro Carnival Experience - G
Gemma • traveled in February
The guides were excellent, being local they were very knowledgeable and passionate about Rio and Brazil, the places and events we went to were amazing and well planned. The hotel was very good and in the best location for carnival. The only reason I gave it a good and not an excellent rating was they used a 3rd party for the actual samba drome event. It was disorganised and the lady running it was rude and not nice to her own staff as well as us, the intrepid tour guides that we had all week were not allowed with us which made it very difficult. Hopefully from our feedback they will not use them again. Otherwise highly recommended this tour.

What our customers ask about Adventure Tours & Trips in Brazil
When is the best time to go on an Adventure tour in Brazil?
