Tour Description

The 5th largest country in the world is host to countless natural wonders. But, without a doubt, one of the most defining features of Brazil is the Amazon rainforest.

Starting your tour in Rio de Janeiro also referred to as the "marvelous city" by locals, you will get a taste of lush rainforest vegetation from the top of the hills overlooking the idyllic beaches of one of the most beautiful urban settings in the world.

Penetrating the heart of the continent, you will explore the breathtaking jungle of the Amazon, the largest tropical rainforest in the world, home to a plethora of unique ecosystems thriving in this incredible environment.

There, the vegetation works tirelessly to turn carbon dioxide into oxygen which is why the Amazon rainforest is often called the "Lungs of the World". As a matter of fact, about 20% of the oxygen on Earth is produced there.

Counting among the New Seven Wonders of Nature, the Amazon rainforest never ceases to amaze the curious visitor and it will leave you with exhilarating memories to bring home.

Important notes

If necessary, it is imperative to get your yellow fever vaccine at least ten days prior to departure. 

Weather conditions in the Amazon rainforest vary greatly depending on the two seasons: the wet season from December to May and the dry season from June until November. Regardless of the season, you have to be prepared for rain throughout the year, although it rains a lot less during the dry season. 

We recommend avoiding travel to the Amazon from December to February.
