A country as vast as Brazil takes a lifetime to fully explore; sadly, reality binds many of us to a handful of visits, so it’s crucial to consider what matters most to you before you go. Do you dream of lying on the white-sand beaches of Rio? Blazing a trail through the Amazon? Horseback riding and wildlife-watching in the Pantanal? Or surfing perfect breaks in Florianópolis?
Perhaps none of the above. Doing nothing in Brazil – apart from sipping caipirinhas at a beach bar while letting the laid-back culture wash over you – is equally tempting, and just as valid. Luckily, there’ll be plenty of time for that when you travel with Culture Trip on a small-group adventure designed to showcase the very best of your chosen destination.
In São Paulo, discover the vibrant subcultures of the mega-metropolis’ many trendy neighbourhoods, before heading out to the luscious countryside of Paraty Bay. Explore the gorgeous cobblestone streets of Paraty town and the glorious waters of the bay, before heading to Rio de Janeiro, where you can throw yourself into the samba-fuelled nightlife, watch the locals play football on Copacabana beach, climb Sugarloaf Mountain and stand at the feet of Christ the Redeemer.
