Special Ideas for Your Adventurous Vacation in Brazil

Our Travel by Land tours offer unique and adventurous experiences. These tours are regionally limited so all longer distances can be covered by overland buses, trains, shuttle transfers, and boats — meaning no domestic flights are necessary.

Another insider tip for an adventurous tour is our road trip from Salvador to Ilheus in the colorful state of Bahia. We offer a varied itinerary with rafting, hiking, and culinary delights in the Afro-Brazilian and cultural heart of Brazil.

The Rota das Emocoes (Route of Emotions) is also at the top of our list. On one of the most impressive routes in Brazil, you will travel by boat, 4x4-vehicle, and beach buggy from Sao Luis to Jericoacoara. You will explore the famous Lencois Maranhenses desert, a spectacular dune landscape with freshwater pools for a refreshing dip. Finally, on a boat trip across the Delta of the Americas, you will discover unique nature and deserted beaches, and with luck spot a colony of Red Ibises at sunset.

FAQs about Adventure Travel in Brazil:

What makes an adventure tour to Brazil special?

On our adventure tours we want to show our guests an authentic picture of Brazil and its inhabitants. These tours are also off the beaten track — a world away from the usual routes and sights. These tours can be as active as you want, but of course they can also just be experience-oriented, for example having lunch with a Brazilian family or going on a historical city tour.

What is the difference between adventure and active travel?

We distinguish between these two types of travel as follows: active tours are always adventure tours, but an adventure tour does not necessarily include sporting activities such as hiking or kayaking.

Which regions are suitable for adventure tours?

Almost all parts of Brazil offer opportunities for adventure travel. But we find Amazonas, with its variety of exciting excursions; the state of Bahia, with its combination of nature and culture; the green Costa Verde near Rio de Janeiro; and Florianopolis in southern Brazil, with its unique island location, particularly suitable for an adventurous vacation in Brazil.

Which months are best for adventure travel in Brazil?

The climate in Brazil varies greatly by region and season, so travelers should ensure they choose a suitable place and time for their preferred weather and activities. We provide some information about climate and best travel times on our climate pages.
You should also bear in mind that high-season between New Year's Eve and Carnival in the Brazilian summer, and the last two weeks of July in the Brazilian winter are popular, and therefore more expensive, months for travel.
