SMALL GROUP ADVENTURES IN BRAZIL

Looking for that sweet spot between independent backpacking and a package holiday?

Travelling as part of a Small Group tour has its perks.   There are local expert tour leaders to take the hassle out of travel arrangements and show you the sights, plus a group of like-minded travellers to share the fun with.  All you have to do is turn up with a smile and a passport

Groups are small, normally 8-16 people, meaning the trips aren’t disruptive to the places you visit, and a smaller number creates a good group dynamic; you’ll get to know a range of people from different backgrounds with a shared interest in travel.

Got the urge for adventure, but no-one to do it with? Over half of the travellers on Small Group trips are travelling solo.

Brazil is full of contrasts. The colours, the sights, the smells, the wildlife, all your senses will be wide awake!  There is something different about Brazilians, their hedonism no doubt aided by a lush land and steamy climate. They are the most diverse country in Latin America and a former Portuguese colony. One of the largest countries in the world, Brazil certainly has plenty to see – the Amazon and Iguassu Falls spring immediately to mind – but more than anything it's the Brazilian passion for life, epitomized by Rio's Carnival celebrations, that will make you fall in love and want to return again.

• Hear the loud call of the Howler monkeys, and spot panthers, piranhas and pink dolphin from your boat in the lush forestry of the winding Amazon
• Sample authentic Brazilian barbecue -  Picture open fire pits tended in the fields of Rio Grande do Sul by Gaúchos
• Party at the most famous and celebrated carnival festival in the world
• Relax with the stylish locals at the world's largest beach at 7,500m long
• Climb up to the spectacular viewpoint of the colossal Christ the Redeemer statue
• Taking a cable car up the iconic Sugarloaf Mountain for panoramic views of the stunning coastline
• Feel the spray from Iguazu Falls - These magnificent waterfalls are simply awe-inspiring up close
• Explore the cobblestone streets and colourful doorways of colonial Paraty
• Snorkel off the beaches or hike the remote trails of the island paradise, Ilha Grande,

World Class Adventures has access to the best tour operators and will tailor the perfect holiday just for you.

BRAZIL HAS SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE

Brazil proudly holds several records for its wildlife numbers and diversity, as a result of the urgent need to preserve endangered natural treasures.  This effort is making it possible for more travellers to enjoy Brazil sustainably and preserving the best of Brazil for local communities.

• See the South American ‘Big 5’ Brazilian tapir, giant anteater, maned wolf, giant river otter, and of the course the elusive jaguar
• Explore the wildlife nirvana of the Pantanal wetlands on foot and by canoe, searching for animals including toco toucan sloth, capybara, caiman, armadillo, anaconda and over 600 bird species
• Explore Saco do Mamanguá, a tropical fjord, by kayak
• Discover marine wildlife – turtles, sharks and rays along the never-ending coastline

With 30 years of adventure travel experience, I select operators who deliver the best possible holidays for my clients. I remain independent and have the flexibility to provide you with the best package to suit your specific needs and budget. I search the whole market to find the best deals for every aspect of your trip so that you don’t have to, providing honest and impartial advice.

Some small group tours are run by the operator I book and some are contracted to a specialist small group operator. Either way, I ask for locally owned accommodation and local guides where the tour allows, and I follow my Animal Welfare Policy on wildlife experiences. When the holiday includes flights, a payment to Sustainable Travel International is part of the price shown, with no opt-out, and I keep a record of each payment. My Traveller’s Pledge and full approach are on my Responsible Travel page.
