Summary:
No Brazil expedition is complete without Iguaçu Falls; this two-and-a-half-mile-wide cataract is our introduction to this spectacular country. Also, included in our Brazil adventure travel tour is the massive Pantanal, the planet’s largest seasonal wetland area. We meet the capybara, the world’s largest rodent; view nocturnal mammals in their natural habitats; and glimpse jaguars, ocelots, and tapirs.

While our South America adventure travel tour is not overly strenuous, participants should be reasonably fit and capable of moderate exercise. There will be several opportunities for jungle hikes during the Brazil tour that will entail walking, unaided, over rugged trails with occasional inclines—the reward being glimpses of rare primates and abundant birdlife. Many of the days on our itinerary will require lengthy bus journeys along rough roads. Our Brazil expedition is best enjoyed by those who relish natural history and who travel with a sense of humor, flexibility, and a true spirit of adventure.
