Self Drive in Brazil

We offer three very diverse self-drives: the Brazil colonial cities tour from Rio de Janeiro to Belo Horizonte which takes you through the hill country and past colonial gold towns to Ouro Preto. Our romantic self-drive trip Coconut Palm and Fishing Villages takes you along the coastal route from Salvador to Recife or vice versa. Our self-drive trip to the Pantanal which begins and ends in Campo Grande is perfect for families. Along the way, you can go river snorkelling or horseriding. We’ve intentionally kept the total driving distance per day short so that you don’t have to spend entire days driving. In doing so, you’ll have some time to look around when you arrive at a new location.
