The Amazon and the Pantanal, two of Brazil’s premier ecotourism destinations, recorded a 20% increase in visitors in 2024, according to data from tour operator Pinto Lopes Viagens. This surge is driven by a growing global interest in immersive nature travel, featuring activities such as canoe expeditions, wildlife observation, and hiking through beautifully preserved environments.
In Manaus, the gateway to the magnificent Amazon rainforest, tourists are captivated by the iconic Amazonas Theatre and the breathtaking Meeting of Waters between the Negro and Solimões rivers. Meanwhile, in the Pantanal wetlands, the Aguapé Lodge in Aquidauana offers thrilling photographic safaris and horseback riding, drawing nature enthusiasts from all over the world.
The region of Bonito, world-renowned for its crystal-clear waters and stunning caves like the Blue Lake Cave (Gruta do Lago Azul), continues to shine as a top destination. Snorkeling in the crystalline currents of the Olho d’Água and Prata rivers remains one of the most sought-after experiences, allowing visitors to swim alongside vibrant fish and lush aquatic flora.
The tour operator emphasizes that blending rich cultural experiences, such as visiting the modernist capital of Brasília, with the exploration of Brazil’s unique natural ecosystems has become a major draw. This perfect combination provides international travelers with an unforgettable, well-rounded Brazilian adventure.
