It's easy to fall for Brazil. With the best carnival in the world, the coolest beach life and arguably the world's most beautiful people, this country is captivating and infectious - just like the Brazilians themselves. Covering half of the landmass of South America, Brazil has the lot: endless beaches, the wildlife-rich marshland of the Pantanal, the Amazon, lovely colonial cities and, how could we forget, Rio de Janeiro.
 

Rio
Impossibly beautiful setting between mountains and the sea, gregarious, gorgeous people, potent caiprinhas: Rio really does live up to the hype.
Beaches near Rio
Just three hours from Rio is Buzios, and with 25 beaches to choose from you should be able to find your own in hip and happening Buzios. To the south are picturesque Parati and the beautiful beaches and coves of Angra. Those in the know take a villa and stay for weeks…
Amazon
Hot, steamy and so rich in plant and wildlife that many species have been classified; the Amazon is the great unknown that everybody’s heard about. Do it in style and charter a yacht to explore at your own pace.
Pantanal
Wildlife lovers should head to this vast wetland that teems with birds and animals: 30 million caiman share this area roughly half the size of France along with anacondas, anteaters, jaguars, capybaras, macaws, jabiru storks and much, much more.
Lencois Maranhenses
Vast national park just outside the Amazon basin of undulating sand dunes that in the rainy season fill with freshwater lakes of gorgeous blues and greens. Stunning landscapes, totally undiscovered.
Bahia Beaches
The cultural melting pot that is Salvador da Bahia is your gateway to some of the most beautiful beaches Brazil has to offer. We love trendy Trancoso - and so do the Brazilians - or escape to one of our favourite hideaways and find your own beach to play on.
Fernando de Noronha
Remote archipelago off the northeast coast, its azure waters rich in marine life. Gorgeous beaches, luxury accommodation and a must for divers – this is the number one spot to dive in Brazil.
Pipa
Voted one of the top ten beaches in Brazil, Pipa Beach has long been a hit with surfers. Nature lovers may also spot turtles and dolphins off this lovely shore.
