São Sebastião Tours, Brazil

Brazil tours can be fully guided or partly guided, depending on how much structure you want day to day. Fully guided trips usually include a tour leader throughout, while partially guided itineraries typically use local experts for key visits and leave more independent time in between.

You can reserve Brazil as either a group tour or a private tour. Group tours are shared with other travelers on a set departure, while private tours are arranged for your party, although some scheduled tours and transfers may still be shared.

Many tours include Rio de Janeiro, Foz do Iguacu and Iguazu Falls, Manaus and the Amazon, plus the Pantanal and highlights along the coast such as Salvador, Ilha Grande and Paraty. Depending on the itinerary, you may also see Sao Paulo, Brasilia and beach areas like Praia do Forte.

Many Brazil tours include Foz do Iguacu so you can visit Iguazu Falls from the Brazilian side, which is particularly strong for wide-angle viewpoints. Some itineraries also travel into Argentina, but the Brazil section generally focuses on touring and viewpoints within Brazil.

A city explorer tour is based in one location, with day trips that return to the same accommodation each night. In Brazil, this style can work especially well for Amazon stays from Manaus, combining guided excursions with downtime at the lodge.

Accommodation depends on the tour and can range from city hotels to lodge stays in the Amazon or the Pantanal, with the exact standard shown in the trip details. If the planned property is unavailable, an alternative of similar quality may be used, and some itineraries offer upgrade options on request.

Meal inclusions vary by trip, so it’s best to check what is listed for your chosen itinerary. Some tours include breakfast only, while others add lunches and dinners, particularly on Amazon and Pantanal stays where most activities operate from one lodge.

Many Brazil tours are graded easy and focus on gentle walking, viewpoints and straightforward nature excursions. Longer or more remote itineraries can be more demanding, so review the fitness grade carefully before you reserve.

Many tours include transfers between key locations, and some itineraries also include internal flights to reduce overland travel time. Where flights are not included, this will be clearly indicated, so it’s worth confirming exactly what your tour covers.

Many trips are operated by trusted local partners, and some departures may be shared with travelers from other brands. This approach helps create efficient itineraries, while also bringing local knowledge and experienced guides for included sightseeing.
