What travelling with us was actually like
-
My wife and I have always been thrilled by Brazil, but we had never dared to organise the trip ourselves. Authentic Brazil Travel planned the whole journey for us, including some destinations we did not know. The trip was superbly organised, the guides were great, the accommodations lovely and the transfers punctual. Thanks to the wonderful guides and their tips we felt safe the entire time and got to discover a lot of new things. Gladly again!

How long is a Brazil journey, and what does it cost? +
A two week route combining Rio, the Amazon and the Pantanal starts at around US$4,100 to US$4,600 per person for the time on the ground, with international and internal flights separate. Roughly US$200 to US$400 per person per day is the planning figure. Two weeks suits a first trip, three once the northeast comes in. Travelling in a larger group lowers the price per person, because the guide and the vehicle are shared.
Is a private guide included on every journey? +
Yes. Every route here is privately guided in English, with all transfers and hand picked accommodation included. We run no group departures and no fixed dates, so the pace is yours. Where a stretch is better handled by a specialist local guide, we say so and book that person instead.
How far ahead should we book a Brazil journey? +
Three to nine months ahead, depending on the route. Three to six months covers most journeys. Anything with the Pantanal in the dry season, roughly June to October, needs six to nine, because its few lodges book out early, and the same goes for December to February, New Year and Carnival. We hold the rooms as soon as your dates are firm. Shorter notice still works, it only narrows the choice of where you sleep. When deposit and final payment fall due is set out in our booking terms.
Do you book the flights as well? +
International flights are never part of our rates and we do not sell them. Brazilian domestic flights are quoted separately and usually booked through us, so they line up with lodge arrival days, boat departures and transfer windows, and so we can rebuild the day if one is cancelled.
