Mata Atlantica Tours & Trips
Ever heard of Brazil's other rainforest? The Mata Atlântica (Atlantic Forest) once covered Brazil's coast but now exists in fragments. What remains has incredible biodiversity, with golden lion tamarins, toucans, and thousands of endemic species. Visit reserves near Rio, possibly Serra dos Órgãos for hiking, or further south near São Paulo. The forest feels different from the Amazon, with more mountains, different species, easier access from major cities.

It was an amazing experience. It’s something you have to do once in your life. The agency Bamba did take care of our security seriously and made sure everyone has fun with respect to their different preferences in the activities.
Brazil Carnival Full Experience 6D/5N (Rio de Janeiro)Both Thallis and Guilherme were absolutely amazing. From the first moment to the very last one I felt like I have now friends for life. They took such good care of me on the other hand giving me the much needed space as I booked the tour alone and wanted this as a meditation adventure.
