The core 8-day Secret Brazil Adventure is comprised of two main experiences:

1) Remote Jungles with Crystal Blue Springs & sand dunes

Day 1: Arrival in  Brasilia as our meeting / stopover point, and the first time meeting your new adventure family! Cities are always a good way to crash-course your way into a new destination, but now it’s time to go deeper into the depths of Brazil, the same evening we take a domestic flight to the side that many visitors never get to see:

Day 2-4: We’re headed to the gateway to the amazing Tocantins state. We’ll swim in the natural, crystal clear blue natural pools surrounded by tropical banana and palm trees called “Fervedouros”, climb sand dunes, and visit a Quilombola community. That includes seeing their golden grass handicrafts – their pride! And we would be missing out on this region if we didn’t do some waterfall chasing at the Cachoeira da Formiga, and swimming in the Bernstein colored fresh water rivers to cool down from the Brazilian sun. 

You will also get to try the less processed, closer to the roots version of the Brazilian superfood export: açaí!

— experience tropical fresh water natural pools surrounded by banana & palm trees “Fervedouros”

— climb dunes and cross rivers 

— chase waterfalls, swim in crystal clear rivers 

— try local açaí right at the source

2) Living with Indigenous People in the Amazon

Day 5-8: This is the part of the trip where we finally step deep into the Amazon rainforest. We will be meeting the Shanenawa people to learn more about what life is like in this part of the world. Jungle walks, body painting and engaging in handicraft workshops will allow us to feel as if we were part of their community too.

What I love most about this particular community, is that they’re run by women – they’re entrepreneurs, keepers of their culture, and total badasses. You will also have a translator with you to be able to communicate with them well, and ask any questions about their culture - and in return, them about yours.

For 3 days, we’ll be fully immersed in the Amazon - learning about their traditions, art and what makes their way of living so unique and in harmony with nature. This is the opportunity of a lifetime to meet and interact with people who have been part of one of the most diverse ecosystems in the planet for generations. 

— meeting the Shanenawa people of Brazilian Amazon, in the remote state of Acre

— workshops for bead making 

— walks in the forest to collect herbs and learn about their special connection to nature 

— body painting in a traditional way 

— translator for fluent communication

White Sand Oasis: June 9-12

The very north of Brazil hides a paradise that most people outside of Brazil have still never seen or heard of: a vast landscape of bright, white sand dunes, that only during this time of the year fill with clear fresh water after the rainy season - the perfect playground for adventure! We'll go on a jeep tour around the dunes to visit the natural pools, and as an optional activity you can take a scenic flight to see this landscape from above, among other experiences. 

Experience Rio: June 12-15

Spend the last few days exploring one of the most vibrant and famous cities in the world: Rio de Janeiro. We’ll be driving right into the favela culture, doing some climbing for the best views of the city, and for those seeking even more adrenaline: there is an optional helicopter ride.
