Talk to us:

Brazil is a vast country, with a huge amount to offer the traveller, and on this trip we'll get right to its heart. Rio is our starting point, soaking up the energy and vitality of this exciting city before we head inland to the old colonial city of Ouro Preto. From Central Brazil we head into the wilds, going on safari in the wetlands of the Pantanal and visiting the ranches of the Mato Grosso. We travel into the Amazon Jungle on a boat trip that takes us up remote tributaries of this mighty river, staying in villages en route and finally ending in Manaus.
