Amazon & Pantanal bite-sized trips

Time to tick an iconic destination off the bucket list! The Amazon is the largest and most species-rich stretch of tropical rainforest in the world and is known as the ‘lungs of the world’. During this trip you’ll travel from Manaus into the heart of the Amazon where you’ll sleep at a lodge surrounded by the sights and sounds of this famous rainforest.

Our Amazon river cruise is an adventurous alternative to staying in a rustic jungle lodge on the banks of the river. As you sail along the mighty Amazon River, you’ll have your own comfortable cabin with a shower and toilet.

Get behind the wheel as you travel to the relaxed town of Bonito and the southern, less visited part of the Pantanal – one of the best places in the country to spot wildlife. You’ll spend time snorkelling in the crystal clear Rio da Prata, spotting wildlife on boat and jeep safaris, fishing and horse-riding. If you’d rather not self drive, this trip is also possible with private transfers.

Head to the southern, less-visited region of the Pantanal, where the wildlife is abundant. With your own rental car and our detailed directions, you’ll venture into this vast, untamed wilderness and discover why the Pantanal is considered one of the top spots for wildlife sightings. If you’d rather not self drive, this trip is also possible with private transfers.

Located in western Brazil the Pantanal wetlands is a natural habitat half the size of France. This is Brazil’s cowboy territory and there are several large working cattle ranches in the area. This bite-sized trip visits the northern part of the Pantanal, that’s accessible from Cuiaba.

Deep in the heart of Brazil lies the nation’s capital and UNESCO World Heritage Site, Brasilia. This new, modern city was built deep in the country’s interior 50 years ago and replaced Rio de Janeiro as the capital of Brazil. If you enjoy seeing interesting architecture, then you should include a visit to this unique city.
