U nder 12 hours’ direct flight from London, Brazil is one of the easiest South American spots to reach and the ideal place for starting an adventure. It’s got big cities, song worthy sands, iconic waterfalls, and abundant wetlands. Then there’s the little matter of around 60% of the Amazon rainforest being here. A holiday to Brazil is a carnival of experiences, and a sensational first step for a continental expedition. Most journeys in Brazil begin in Rio de Janeiro, one of the world’s most vibrant cities. Its twin landmarks, Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf Mountain, stand proud above colourful hillside favelas, overlooking household-name beaches from Copacabana to Ipanema. And once you’ve sampled the city that loves to samba, the Earth’s fifth-largest country is at your feet. See the planet’s biggest waterfall system at Iguazu. Ride on horseback through the marshes of the Pantanal. Sail from the mansion-lined avenues of Manaus to where the Rio Solimões and Rio Negro meet, forming the Amazon River as clashing coloured waters slowly merge. Choose a carefully designed escorted tour or plan your custom, multi-stop trip. However you go, Brazil always puts a spring in your step.
