Flights & Holidays to Brazil

Brazilians take partying seriously. Watch the glittering pre-Lenten spectacle of Carnaval in Rio de Janeiro, relax on golden beaches or join locals for caipirinhas cocktails in a small Bahian town. For modern architecture go to the capital Brasília or visit the cultural centre São Paulo. The Amazon jungle is mostly uninhabited, and its great river is best explored on boat trips and lodge visits.

The northwest of Brazil is dominated by the enormous Amazon rainforest, where the Amazon River runs from Manaus out to Belm on the coast. In the northeast you’ll find Chapada Diamantina National Park, with its tabletop mountains, underground caves and azure lakes. The swampy Pantanal is great for spotting tapir, giant otters and monkeys, while the border with Argentina is the site of the spectacular Iguazu Falls.
