Immersed in the Amazon Rainforest
The Amazon leg of the journey begins with cultural visits to the iconic Amazonas Theatre and the Museum of the City of Manaus. Visitors will stay at the extraordinary Uiara Amazon Lodge, a unique floating structure suspended over the river waters. The thrilling itinerary also includes navigating the tranquil Lake Salvador in small boats and witnessing a traditional pirarucu fishing demonstration at the famous Meeting of the Waters, where the dark Rio Negro and the sandy Solimões River spectacularly converge.
Trails and River Floating in Brazil’s Midwest
The adventure then heads to the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, featuring unforgettable activities in the cities of Campo Grande and Bonito—Brazil’s premier ecotourism destination. Guests will walk 300 meters and descend 300 steps to explore the Blue Lake Cave (Gruta do Lago Azul), a stunning limestone cavern plunging 80 meters deep. The region’s agenda also invites travelers on a two-kilometer trek through untouched primary forest, culminating in a magnificent 2.5-kilometer snorkeling and river floating experience down the crystal-clear waters of the Rio da Prata.
Wildlife observation takes center stage in the Aquidauana Pantanal, with guests hosted at the charming Pousada Aguapé. This vibrant ecosystem is a sanctuary for biodiversity, boasting records of 698 bird species, 260 types of fish, and 80 large mammal species. Expeditions to photograph this rich wildlife last up to four hours and are conducted in specialized 4×4 safari vehicles or traditional regional boats.
This grand Brazilian tour concludes in the Federal District with a route dedicated to the striking modernist public architecture of Brasília.
