Bite-sized trips

Amazon & Pantanal

North & East Coast Brazil

The Amazon and the Pantanal are where Brazil’s wildlife really comes into its own. Sleep at a jungle lodge outside Manaus or cruise upriver, then head to the Pantanal wetlands to look for caiman, capybaras and jaguars on boat and jeep safaris. Nearby Bonito adds snorkelling in crystal-clear rivers, and Brasília makes an interesting stop if you love architecture.
