South of Rio, the coast of Brazil is fringed with Atlantic Rainforest and soft golden sand. The glitz and glamour of Rio and Sao Paulo migrate to Angra and Buzios in the holiday season. Here sprawling private houses and remote private islands are available for some of the most exclusive private rental holidays in Brazil. Most come with boats of all shapes and sizes to navigate the many remote islands and fishing villages that spray from the mainland. Further south, the charming town of Paraty attracts a more arty, low-key crowd. The Paraty Literary Festival takes place in August, and independent shops, bars and restaurants line the old cobbled streets.
The Pantanal is the largest tropical wetland on earth. At 42 million acres, this massive expanse of waterways and marshes is one of the most biodiverse regions in the world.
From its beginnings in Peru, The Amazon River completes its 4000-mile journey in Brazil, carving its way through the world’s largest rainforest to the Atlantic Ocean. With around 1,300 bird species and approximately 2.5 million different insects living beneath the canopy, not to mention the 40,000 species of plant life, the Amazon is a nature-lovers dream.
Most of the luxury holidays in Brazil designed by our True Travel team begin or end with a visit to Rio de Janeiro. This beautiful city with its golden beaches and emerald mountains is a fantastic entry or exit point.
From Rio, the neighbouring State of Minas Gerais is for anyone keen to understand more about South America’s colonial culture. This mountainous region is also incredibly scenic and green with forests and farmland.
The North Atlantic coast of Brazil must be one of the most beautiful and untouched coastlines in South America. Visit any of our favourite beach properties in Bahia, and you will find miles upon miles of soft sand flanked by drooping palm trees and wild Atlantic waves almost to yourself.
