Finding Paradise is an 8-night passage through Brazil’s most astonishing and least-visited natural wonders. From São Luís’ pastel colonial streets to the shimmering dunes and turquoise lagoons of Lençóis Maranhenses, this journey reveals a side of Brazil that few travelers ever experience.

You’ll explore the vast white-sand desert of Lençóis Maranhenses, a landscape of wind-sculpted dunes and rain-fed pools, meeting the remote communities who preserve traditional ways of life amid this surreal terrain. Nights are spent in a nature-immersed eco-camp on the edge of the park, where sunsets paint the dunes in gold.

Then the adventure shifts to Fernando de Noronha, a fiercely protected volcanic archipelago 350 km off Brazil’s coast. With crystalline waters, pristine beaches, and thriving marine life, Noronha remains one of South America’s last true paradises. Days unfold with beach hopping, private diving, sunset canoeing, and quiet moments overlooking the turquoise sea from your secluded boutique hotel.

This itinerary reveals Brazil at its purest: remote, soulful, untouched, a paradise still hidden from the world. As always, it can be fully customized to suit your travel style.

Highlights

  • Swim in the turquoise rain-fed lagoons of Lençóis Maranhenses, hidden between endless white dunes.
  • Hike to sweeping dune viewpoints where the landscape resembles billowing white bedsheets.
  • Meet remote families who preserve traditional lifeways deep inside the Lençóis Maranhenses region.
  • Spend three days on Fernando de Noronha, a pristine island sanctuary of beaches and wildlife.
  • Explore Noronha’s underwater world on a private scuba or snorkeling excursion.
  • Stay in boutique eco-retreats immersed in nature, from dune-side chalets to ocean-view bungalows.
