Travel to Brazil

Carnaval in Rio

Rio de Janeiro

Angra dos Reis

"Brazil has rediscovered itself…" and it's not just its President, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva who thinks so. The largest country in South America has always been a land of contrasts - the rich Amazonian rainforest versus the thrilling, vibrant excitement of the cities - but today it has found a new equilibrium which is attracting visitors from all over the World.

The fifth largest country in the world has many diverse attractions to offer, but with our Brazilian partner we create itineraries that unpeel the layers of Brazil to bring you the most fascinating, relaxing and luxurious aspects of this vibrant region. A visit that adds a relaxing dimension to a trip to Peru or the Galapagos Islands, or simply a luxury break in itself.

Rio de Janeiro

Seeking vibrancy - Rio de Janeiro and São Paolo

'A Cidade Maravilhosa', the Marvelous City, Rio is synonymous with nostalgic glamour, the spectacular scenery and, of course, the Carnival. This is a place where you can experience the real 'Carioca' lifestyle. By all means, visit the museums and galleries with our specialist, erudite guides, but why not take a samba lesson at a renowned samba school or learn the distinctive Rio percussion style at a percussion school?

There is a new buzz in Rio with the newest Fasano hotel opening at the end of July. Designed and decorated by Philippe Starck, we highly recommend you stay here while in Rio.

For a contrast, visit the design capital of South America, São Paulo. This cosmopolitan, vibrant city has a strong cultural, arts and musical and gastronomic heritage. To see the best of the city specialist guides - erudite experts in their fields - will take you around the museums and galleries. Follow this up by tasting the best that the city has to offer choosing from its wide range of speciality cuisines of Italian, Japanese, contemporary Brazilian and barbecue.

Cruise the Amazon in style

If you are looking for an Amazonian adventure, but not at the expense of luxurious accommodation and exquisite cuisine, we can arrange a five day cruise on a beautiful yacht built for pleasure and privacy. Ranging from five to eight cabins, some of the yachts have a jacuzzi, sauna and a home cinema theatre on-board. You will be accompanied by a specialist guide, a host, a chef and of course the crew.

Spend your days exploring trails deep within the forest, visiting areas and communities that can only be reached by boat, and dining by candlelight on a secluded beach. You can charter a hydroplane for a magical airborne view of this amazing land. Or you could hire a top Brazilian chef to spoil you with innovative blends, delicious regional dishes, or simple to cater for your every whim. You can even try (or chance) your hand at piranha fishing.

Other Brazilian highlights:

Pantanal

Bahia

Lençóis

Pantanal

The Pantanal is the largest wetland/floodland area in the world. The wildlife here is privileged and the safari experience an unforgettable one. We have recently re-accessed our itinerary to enhance the opportunities for wildlife spotting.

Chapada Diamantina

Bahia

Bahia is a State full of history and culture, seeing as Salvador, its capital, was once the country´s capital as well. We recommend visiting this city as well as the beaches along the southern coast, including Trancoso which is the epitome of "barefoot luxury" in the country. There are great pousadas and incredible private villas in the area we could work with. It is the destination for many of the jet-set and high-profile crowd, national and international.

Chapada Diamantina is inland and another area we recommend highly. This canyon area is dotted with waterfalls and incredible views. We can develop trips catering to the more adventurous types, individuals or groups, as well as families. Lençóis is the town at its heart, another beautiful colonial spot, doused with history. Accommodation is in pousadas here.

Lençóis

We have a new freshly developed itinerary in this region which is great for those who are willing to venture into this sand dune reserve in the North-East of the country. This trip is incredible!
