Trekking in Brazil

Trekking in Brazil provides challenges for all abilities.  Covering the majority of South America, Brazil is a vibrant melting pot of cultures concocted from the influences of the surrounding countries as well as its many visitors. Brazil’s inhabitants are friendly, welcoming and they know how to party!

There are two options for trekking in Brazil; The Brazil Amazonas Expedition and the Brazil South Expedition, both of which provide opportunities to explore the rich biodiversity and wild scenery the country has to offer.

Trekking in Brazil: The Brazil Amazonas Expedition

This option for trekking in Brazil provides the best of both worlds with opportunities for mountain and jungle treks.

Brazil trekking The damp and humid jungles are home to an astonishing range of wildlife.  Teams can be rewarded with sights such as sloths, six foot lizards, unusual insects and colourful birds.  As you make your way through the dense vegetation consider the dangers that are threatening the world’s rainforests and feel privileged to be able to experience the beauty and tranquillity of such a stunning natural environment.

The main phase of the trekking in Brazil trip is flexible to meet your needs but could involve following the unique Amazonian ecosystems along the river.  Meet the aquatic inhabitants as you venture deeper and deeper into the jungle, sleeping in hammocks and developing your survival skills along the way.  Alternate treks in South Brazil include medium to challenging treks into the mountains through stunning national parks where you will be rewarded with dramatic panoramic views.

Trekking in Brazil: The South Brazil Expedition

For those looking to spend more time trekking in the mountain of Brazil, this expedition provides opportunities to reach altitude and visit the impressive Iguaçu Falls, one of the seven natural wonders of the world, whilst still providing numerous wildlife spotting opportunities.

While acclimatising to the area, visit national parks made up of alpine meadows and rainforests and trek up mountains to reveal stunning coastal views.

Trekking in Brazil There are many options for your main trekking in Brazil experience depending on the skills and abilities of your group.  Gentler treks take you from extinct gold mines down to the coast through beautiful scenery and forests, passing waterfalls and remote farms on the way.  If your group is more adventurous then you might choose to visit the Serra dos Orgaos National Park which contains over 118 sq km of mountainous terrain perfect for more challenging treks and climbs. 

Trekking in Brazil - project work

Whichever trekking in Brazil expedition route you take, after all that adventure you will be ready for your next challenge.  There are many valuable projects taking place in Brazil offering cultural exchange opportunities and your help can make a difference.  You can work in schools, community centres, orphanages or on environmental projects in either the Amazon or South Brazil. Gain work experience, learn new skills and make lifelong friends with the locals. 

Trekking in Brazil – rest and relaxation
