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.

Relaxed touring. Good value. All went smoothly
Green Coast: Rio, Paraty & Ilha GrandeIt was an amazing trip. I managed to enjoy a lot of what I wanted to see in Rio, and it was a lot of fun.
Wonderful RioI had an amazing experience on the Carnavals tour! All the tourguides were very nice and helpful and I loved the activities we did. It didn't matter which activity you wanted to do, there was always a guide with you. It was a really really great tour, I would definately recommend this to others!
