Brazil Wildlife Viewing Trips & Tours

Gorgeous boutique inn in beautiful Paraty. The hotel was quaint and beautifully kept. The location was perfect to enjoy either the beach or the stunning town.

I don't have many words to describe this hotel other than exceptional! Every part of this hotel, the staff, the rooms, the food (the FOOD!), and the experiences were exquisite. It was our favourite part of the holiday, bar none.

Perfect location if you want to be in the heart of Rio's beach scene, with easy access to both Copacabana and Ipanema! Our family of 7 thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The rooftop pool area was incredible, the included breakfast was excellent, especially for kids, and the staff were all very friendly and helpful.

This was, by far, the highlight of our family trip! We stayed at the Caiman lodge for 3 days and it was incredible in every way. Everything felt elevated: the food was exceptional, the service seamless, and the rooms were incredibly comfortable. What made the entire experience extra special, though, is that it's first and foremost a wildlife conservation area, and the commitment to conservation shines through in every part of the experience. The wildlife encounters were unforgettable, especially thanks to Luisa and Edson, our guides, who were both so incredibly friendly, fun, and knowledgeable. We were fortunate to see not one but two jaguars on our outings, and it will forever remain a core memory for our entire family. The variety of other wildlife we saw (macaws, capybaras, giant anteaters, tarantulas, etc.) went far beyond what we had hoped for. Honestly, we could have stayed much longer without hesitation. We were also able to attend a beautiful and memorable farm-to-table outdoor dinner one evening, which was another highlight of our stay at Caiman. Stunning presentation, delicious food, & live music all under a starlit sky was such a treat to experience. We would highly recommend visiting Caiman Lodge for a truly beautiful and unique experience in the Pantanal.

Of course, this is a must-see landmark! The sweeping panoramic views of Rio are incredible, and the statue itself is beautiful and iconic. Be mindful that the crowds are equally as impressive 😬. We had an amazing guide, Luiz, who was incredibly knowledgeable and made the outing that much more enjoyable.

Our family had an incredible experience visiting Favela República in Tavares Bastos. The walking tour was not only informative but genuinely inspiring. It gave us a deeper understanding of the community, its history, and the vibrant culture that exists beyond the stereotypes. Seeing the iconic FIFA Street court in person was amazing for our kids, but what stood out most was the authenticity of the experience and the warmth of the locals who shared their stories with us. It was beautiful to see how the community is using tourism in a positive and meaningful way. The funds generated from these tours are helping create purposeful and impactful educational opportunities and support for local youth. We didn't even feel that is was so much a tour as it was a chance to connect, learn, and contribute to something bigger. We’re incredibly grateful for the experience and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Rio.

Beautiful accommodations. Very nice accommodations. Bed was super comfortable, and air condition was great. Food was amazing, and staff were so attentive

This was truly the highlight of my trip. The lodge was incredible. So organized with activities, and such a variety of activites. The animals around the lodge will melt your heart. I could have stayed a month at this lodge......The food was incredible

The only issue I had with this accommodation was that the AC wasn't working, and there is no staff after hours to fix it

Beautiful lodge...... Food was very basic, but I wasn't there for the food. The scenery was incredible

Fabulous bed, and fabulous air conditioning

The pool and the room were wonderful. The bed was sensational

Amazing experience, Be prepared to get wet, which is a lovely experience in the heat

I was somewhat reluctant to go and see the falls, because I thought it would be like Niagara Falls. Well I was astonished about how different it was. These falls are surreal. You can not describe them. There is simply no comparison to Niagara falls. You must see these falls from both the Brazilian side and the Argentinian side to experience their grandeur

Incredible experience. I saw first hand about the Favela s and the drug and gun culture. I wasn't at all afraid. It is a highly functioning society, and everyone cares for each other. You must take off your sunglasses when entering as they they are worried about cameras taking pictures and reporting to the police. You also are not allowed to take pictures in the Favela. At our resting point, we danced to the carnival music, and had fabulous views of the city. There is a lot of walking up steep hills, so you need to be in good shape physically.

Spectacular experience. Make sure you wear comfortable clothing and running shoe.......

hotel room was tidy. staff was polite. Pool is TINY. If you want a pool this is not the hotel for you. Great location, one block from cococabana beach,

Absolute perfection!

This was really fun! The guides made sure we were together and safe. Highly recommend.

Beautiful destinations, polite guide.
