COMING SOON INQUIREWe've created a once-in-a-lifetime adventure to the lively and breathtakingly beautiful Brazil. Here, we'll indulge in the natural and cultural wonders of this incredible South American country. We'll take in the iconic views of Rio from the top of Corcovado Mountain and marvel at the majestic statue of Christ the Redeemer. We'll relax on the soft, white sands of Ipanema, sipping on caipirinhas and soaking up the sun. We'll also satisfy our shopping urge at Rio's lively markets and boutique stores. Then, we'll decamp into nature, delighting in cascading waterfalls and lush foliage beyond the city, a tranquil escape from the bustling streets. We'll indulge in delicious and authentic Brazilian cuisine, full of savory flavors and delicious fresh ingredients. Why not extend your stay and explore the Amazon? Here, we'll immerse ourselves in the natural beauty of the world's largest rainforest. For three days, we'll venture into the heart of the jungle, canoeing through winding waterways, spotting caimans, watching the sunrise over the canopy, hiking in the jungle, and learning from the local community. This is an opportunity to profoundly connect with nature and experience the wonder of the Amazon. Join us for an extraordinary journey to the heart of Brazil, where adventure and cultural immersion wait at every turn!

The trip officially starts on July 17th, but if you are traveling across an ocean to get to Rio, consider arriving a day early so you have time to relax. If you do decide to arrive early, please let us know, and we will take care of booking your room and ensure that you are kept in the same room as you will be in when the trip starts.
We will have a zoom call about 6 weeks before the trip starts to discuss all that information and give you a packing list. Here is a great website that we love that will help you with packing and travel trips. Don't forget your bathing suit since there will be pools at all the hotels and you'll be kayaking on the river.
Our trip starts with temperatures around 77°F in Rio De Janeiro (with lows of 60°F at night). Daytime highs are hotter (though still reasonable), and the nights could be considerably cooler.
