A giant with a thousand faces
Brazil unfolds its contrasts across an immense territory, where São Paulo's skyscrapers stand alongside the golden beaches of Ipanema and the winding waterways of the Amazon. Rio resonates with tropical music while Salvador vibrates to the rhythm of Afro-Brazilian drums. Iguazu Falls thunder at the Argentine border, the equatorial forest rustles with a thousand species, and the fazendas of Minas Gerais cultivate the world's finest coffees.
Each region reveals a distinct facet of this mixed nation, between Portuguese colonial heritage, indigenous traditions and African influences. A tailor-made trip allows you to navigate between these worlds according to your desires: urban immersion in Rio, ecotourism in the Amazon or cultural discovery of the Northeast.
What to absolutely see in Brazil?
Rio de Janeiro captivates with its legendary beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema, dominated by Sugarloaf Mountain and Christ the Redeemer. São Paulo reveals its cosmopolitan face between contemporary art museums and bohemian neighborhoods. Iguazu Falls offers a striking natural spectacle, while the Amazon unveils its exceptional biodiversity from Manaus. Salvador enchants with its colonial historic center and vibrant Afro-Brazilian culture.
What type of trip should you choose?
A tailor-made trip to Brazil requires 15 to 21 days to grasp the country's diversity. Lovers of urban culture will prioritize Rio and São Paulo, complemented by Salvador. Nature enthusiasts will opt for the Amazon, the Pantanal and Iguazu. Budget to plan: €2,800 to €4,200 per person depending on the level of comfort and regions visited.
