Adventure Tours in Brazil
With white sand beaches galore, hoppin’ metropolitan cities from north to south, the vastness of the Amazon, and sport teams donning all colors of jerseys, Brazil is land of contrasts and discovery. One day you can be floating down a river in a jungle, and then the next, chilling on a beach with a caipirinha in hand. There are also opportunities to go bungee jumping, scuba diving, and dune buggying in Brazil. And last but not least, ever heard of sandboarding? If not, it’s time to try sliding down 500 foot sand dunes! Larger than the continental United States and home to the world’s largest rainforest, Brazil is ripe with adventure.

In addition to the mysterious and hugely-popular Amazon, Brazil is buzzing with adrenaline-filling adventures around every corner. From mountaintops to deep ocean plunges (and everything in between), your heart will beat rapidly at new altitudes.
In the north of Brazil is the world’s largest rainforest and one of the most biodiverse regions on the planet, the Amazon. From gigantic, rushing rivers to towering trees that seem as if they’re straight from the set of Jurassic Park, the Amazon rainforest should be on every adventure traveler’s bucket list. As one of the most popular places in the world to travel to, there are many different types of adventures in the Amazon for you to choose from. Most organizations offer very customizable itineraries, so adventurers can decide the ratio between swimming with river dolphins and marching on survival quests through the rainforest.
One of the most well known-cities in Brazil, Rio de Janeiro is a metropolis full of famous beaches (can anyone say Copacabana?), renowned soccer stadiums, and the Christ the Redeemer statue. Whether it’s surfing or coaching kids sports, Rio has a lot of adventure opportunities for travelers who are looking to get into the Carioca culture while enjoying a big city. Did we forget to mention the 2016 Rio Olympics!?
Unique from the rest of the country in the fact that it was largely colonized by Germans and emulates a lot of northern European architecture, southern Brazil’s main highlight is the city of Florianopolis. Usually, foreigners coming to Florianopolis work on projects concerning environmental conservation and community youth development. But there are also some epic canyons and waterfalls to hike through, and the scenic Serra Verde train to hop onto.
