Brazil Holidays
A holiday to Brazil is a holiday to festivity and amazement! Consider Brazil holidays for unforgettable time of life.
Brazil is undoubtedly one of the most captivating destinations on the globe. A dynamic country of mystical rain forests, soft, white beaches and pulsating cities it is surrounded by rapid waterfalls and the most dreamlike tropical islands engulfed in ecosystems of plants and species like no other.
Brazil offers something for every type of traveler: escapade, luxury, beaches and trails alike. For the adventurous, activities like kayaking the Amazons’ forests, horseback riding in the Pantanal and climbing the cliffs to indulge in unrivaled views all beckon.
Tourists can even go whale-watching off the Brazilian coast, snorkel the crystal-clear reefs and rivers and catch some amazing breaks on the surfboards off the vibrant beaches.
Carnaval is the most famously celebrated event in the country and has locals and tourists flocking to the towns and cities filled with enticing samba, spectacular costumes and absolute abandonment.
The party takes place for a week in either February or March each year and almost emulates the complete way of life for Brazilians: music, dance and a lust for life. Dance and music are inherent parts of the culture and from Rio to Salvador and Sao Paulo too, dancehalls, clubs and bars pulsate with the rhythm. Every lady in the party looks fabulous while wearing some elegant dresses similar to these burgundy dresses for homecoming 2024. Additionally, they enhance their style with these Greek accessories collections here.
The country boasts a few of the world’s natural wonders. The Amazon Rainforest in the North is home to more than 2.5 million species, 40 000 plants and close to 2200 types of fish, birds and mammals respectively.
The Atlantic Forest is an area of both tropical and subtropical forest and also houses an array of vegetation along with some endangered species like marmosets and woolly spider monkeys.
Just about the whole coastline is adorned with stunning beaches – a lifestyle that plays a major role in the local’s culture. Rio de Janeiro is the epitome of this and tourists can revel in an extremely laidback lifestyle as can they in Copacabana and Ipanema.
One of the world’s largest tropical wetland, Pantanal comprises mostly floodplains that are submerged in the rainy seasons. The country can also brag incredible waterfalls that are found amongst the many hiking trails throughout Brazil. Many cities show reminders of bygone days with beautiful monasteries, churches, barracks and forts still in their original form.
Shopping is a popular past time in this South American destination and the hand-crafted jewelry, Havaiana sandals and even cotton woven hammocks are popular keepsakes for travelers. The souvenirs are relatively inexpensive and are best found at supermarkets. The unique and vibrant dress sense of the locals suggests visitors arrive with empty suitcases and indulge in some serious retail therapy to boast of back home. Local brands are inexpensive and worth looking around for.
Brazil is well-known for its strong coffee and in fact the coffee is so popular that it is often added to the names of meals. Cafezinho is a small cup of strong, sweetened liquid which is typically served after a meal. Mate is a type of tea with a high volume of caffeine and a chilled version is popular throughout the country.
The food and nightlife are another reason Brazil is a must-visit. Rio is popular for the nightlife and festivities and nearby Buzios and Angra are great options for good dining, discos and bars. One exotic dish that has to be tried is feijoada – black beans simmered in an assortment of meats. The dish is served with a bean sauce, white rice, kale, oranges and manioc root. This dish is actually obligatory on Saturday nights.
Brazil has a number of different climate zones but largely it has two seasons: rainy in the summer and dry in the winter. For visitors to the Amazon, Northeast or Rio, the rainy season, December – March, is essentially the best time to visit. The showers only last an hour or two and then the sun is out to embrace the country in all its festive glory.
Our Brazil Holidays will definitely etch themselves on your memory.

Just a few lines to say a great huge big THANK YOU for organising another wonderful holiday for us! The cruise was excellent. The whole experience was stress free which is a major factor for me! The taxis all turned up on time which was amazing. We also thought the hotel in Barcelona was excellent, so thank you again Tim. You really are a star.

I thought we'd just let you know what a wonderful time we all had aboard the Adventure of the Seas, and thank you for your part in the arrangements, we enjoyed every minute, no doubt probably our best cruise to date. Also I would say that disparaging remarks or criticism were totally unfounded, we gave all the staff, food, cabins, entertainment, weather and the ports of call, 10 out of 10, its a great ship, managed by a fine Master and very dedicated crew. We may have to give next year a miss to build up the bank balance, but we will come back to you for your expertise, as our Cruise Connoisseur.

Thank you so very much for the trip you arranged for us, it was everything we wanted. The hotel was lovely and we thoroughly enjoyed just relaxing in the shade watching the world go by.

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for organising our trip to Verona last weekend. This was a very emotive trip for my wife & I, as it was our first trip to Italy since my wife's cancer diagnosis 2 years ago. Italy is without a doubt our favourite place on the planet and we were not sure if she would see it again. Thanks to you, she has regained, what I call her Italian smile, it came across her face the minute we touched down. Money cannot pay for that smile!The hotel at Gatwick was literally a 2 minute bus ride from the airport, front row seats on the flight over and chauffeur driven limo to meet us at the airport was an amazing start to the weekend. When you said we were staying in a 3 star hotel, I was, if I'm honest, a little nervous, generally speaking, 3 star hotels in Italy means you are sleeping in a cow shed. Not at the Hotel Milano, what an amazing hotel, slap bang in the centre of Verona, with views of the arena, excellent breakfast, towels changed twice daily, good size bedrooms and very comfortable beds! The air con worked superbly, which was just as well with temperatures in the 30's every day. Thank you for making this trip memorable for both of us.

First of all thank you for helping our son & daughter to organise such a great surprise trip for us. The only cruise I've wanted to do and it certainly came up to expectations. It really was fantastic and made a wonderful golden wedding present with all the immediate family with us - a rare occasion! A really big thank you for the wonderful bouquet of roses which arrived in our cabin. I was really touched by such a kind thought, they were beautiful and very much appreciated.

There aren't many people I can say this to, but you've totally impressed my mother-in-law. Seriously, thank you for all you hard work in arranging the cruise on board Serenade of the Seas for my in-laws and four other guests. Not only were your clients located in in three corners of the UK, but you had to deal with very late booking alterations, various medical requirements, special dietary requirements and not to mention 6 very experienced cruisers.All arrangements were completed by you with professional calm and flourish and, due to your personal intervention and attention to detail, everything was perfect from beginning to end. The whole party, who have much cruising experience between them, were totally impressed and will undoubtedly be booking with you again.

Congratulations - you are just brilliant at your job, as we knew you would be. We have just returned from the most amazing holiday. Everything went like clockwork and we cannot thank you enough.The itinerary you gave us was perfect. If we had done Shamwari early on as our companions on the drives were doing then the impact / climax would just not have been the same. The President Protea was a perfect start for us - good swimming pool & very adequate 3 star. Lots to tell you about one day. Terrible drought there, but we just squeezed in before they tightened up. Thank you again so much.

Just back from a fantastic holiday. Everything went really well with your arrangements. The Centurion Palace was great and I would strongly recommend it. It is a great location, very comfortable & very attentive staff. Venice was a trifle hot but lovely all the same and now competing for our favourite Italian city. All went well with the ship, again thank you for picking it for us; a perfect choice. Staff were great, cabin very comfortable and what was so nice is that there was no forced seating. We could eat in a choice of restaurants and there was always a table for two if we wanted it. The food choices were outstanding. The itinerary was very interesting particularly Kotor in Montenegro. We easily got a train into Florence and were bold over by Barcelona. A big thank you from us both for organising this trip, and believe it or not, we both came back a few pounds lighter!

I had never used a Travel Consultant before. Daniel was recommended to me at a number of networking events & when I was thinking of planning a holiday I contacted him. From here I noticed a different level of service than I had experienced with other travel sales channels.2 things stick out; 1. Daniel jumped on my request immediately. I was impressed by how he communicated at every step of the way & acted with pace. This created trust very quickly. 2. Daniel always left a next move. This is a very skilful approach to sales. I was never boxed in, always had an alternative & had options.I recommend Daniel & will be using him for all my future travel needs.

Hello JillOnce again we would like to thank you very much for giving us such a terrific service. Our recent holiday to Spain with Great Rail Journeys was not quite as straight forward as we had hoped partly because there were days added and two couples - one British and the other Australian.Thank you Jill for filling in all the missing paperwork for taxis. You must have spent considerable time sorting out that problem. For the four of us, nothing could have been more simple. Lovely, executive cars arrived at each designated meeting place with superb drivers.It was pure pleasure to be picked up and delivered so efficiently. There were absolutely no hitches. Thanks must also go to GRJ for providing such excellent transportation.

Not long back from our 3rd holiday of the year all booked by Jackie, Jackie is excellent at finding great hotels at fantastic prices. firstly we booked a holiday in Mexico at the Occidental Grand Excaret on the Riviera Maya. For the May bank holiday weekend we asked Jackie if she could find us something in the UK with a hot tub for a relaxing break, Jackie quickly replied with a few options and we ended up booking Conifer Lodges at Newton Stewart in Dumfries and Galloway. The price through Jackie was cheaper than what we could of booked it ourselves. Lastly we have not been long back from Kardemeana in Kos, this one proved a bit more difficult to find as we'd been spoilt in Mexico, Jackie spent a lot of time finding us exactly what we asked for and yet again managed to find us a fantastic hotel at a brilliant price. I look forward to booking next years holiday's with Jackie as I know she'll exceed our expectations for what we want.

I have just come back from a fantastic week in Kos which Jackie booked at very short notice for my daughter and myself. I was a little nervous about travelling alone with my 7 year old for the first time as my husband was working and, to compound matters, I had an injured shoulder. Jackie arranged everything to make the holiday as easy for me as possible. The hotel was lovely and just what we wanted - we had a great break.Before contacting Jackie I had already wasted almost a full day trawling the internet and tying myself up in knots. Jackie did all the research, gave me loads of suggestions and had the whole holiday booked and organised in just a few hours. All I had to do was pack and turn up for the flight. Next time I'm not going to even think about searching online - I'll get straight in touch with Jackie and ask her to sort it out for me! Thanks Jackie! xx
