Brazil
From its vast swathes of tropical rainforest to its energetic coastal cities, Brazil is loud, vivacious, and colourful.
The largest country in South America, a luxury holiday to Brazil could take you anywhere from the Amazon Rainforest to its colonial cities, experiencing the country’s spectacular natural landscapes and vibrant culture. Our Central & South America specialists will show you the very best parts of Brazil, whether you’re looking for a family holiday adventure or an action-packed honeymoon.
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil’s most popular city, is where you can find the famous Copacabana and Ipanema beaches, Christ the Redeemer, and Sugarloaf Mountain, as well as experience the world-renowned Carnaval, one of the largest festivals in the world known for its exuberant samba parades. Head further north and visit Salvador de Bahia, characterised by its Portuguese colonial architecture, tropical beaches, and Afro-Brazilian cuisine.
The wilderness areas of the Amazon Rainforest and the Pantanal promise the opportunity to stay in unique lodges and discover extraordinary wildlife. The Pantanal, the largest tropical wetland in the world, is home to a wealth of creatures including jaguars, capybaras, and giant anteaters, whilst the Amazon, with its sheer biodiversity, is where you can see pink river dolphins, ocelots, and a myriad of exotic birdlife. Travel south to the Argentinian border and witness the might of Iguazu Falls, one of the most spectacular waterfalls in the world, with Iguassu National Park deemed a UNESCO World Heritage Centre.

The largest tropical rainforest in the world, the Amazon is known for its biodiversity, with 10 percent of the world's known species calling this complex ecosystem home. Approximately 58 percent of the Amazon Rainforest is found within the borders of Brazil, with wildlife including jaguars, black spider monkeys, pink river dolphins, and ocelots.
Situated on Brazil's Atlantic coastline, Rio de Janeiro's lively atmosphere and beautiful beaches make this one of the most visited cities in the Southern Hemisphere. Visit during Carnaval and watch vivacious samba parades; relax on Ipanema or Copacabana beach; climb to the top of Sugarloaf Mountain; view the impressive Christ the Redeemer.
The largest tropical wetland area in the world, spanning more than 42 million acres, the Pantanal is one of Brazil's most spectacular natural regions. Home to wildlife including toucans, caimans, and jaguars, as well as an impressive array of flora, this pristine environment is considered a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and is definitely worth a visit when in Brazil.
Situated in Brazil's north-eastern state of Bahia, Salvador is known for its Portuguese colonial architecture, cobbled alleys, and baroque churches. The city has a vibrant Afro-Brazilian culture that is reflected in its aromatic cuisine and brightly-coloured buildings, and boasts a tropical coastline with golden sand beaches.
On the Argentinian and Brazilian border, Iguazu Falls is an impressive waterfall system that combined together is the largest in the world. Explore the lush Iguassu National Park before arriving at the falls, where, on the Brazilian side, you'll be able to view the imposing Floriano fall to the Devil's Throat.
