Brazil, a country renowned for its pulsating rhythm and vibrant hues, offers an intriguing blend of cultural richness and breathtaking natural beauty. From the majestic landscapes of the Amazon to the rhythmic beats of Samba in Rio de Janeiro, a visit to Brazil promises a feast for the senses. As you dive into crafting your perfect itinerary or selecting Brazil vacation packages, here are some of the best places and experiences that should make the cut.

Rio de Janeiro: The Heart of Brazil

Begin your exploration in the heart of Brazil, Rio de Janeiro. Known for its iconic landmarks, the city is home to the Christ the Redeemer, which stands proudly atop Mount Corcovado. The views from the summit are mesmerizing, offering a panoramic vista of the city, beaches, and verdant peaks. Don't miss a walk along Copacabana Beach, where the ocean meets the vibrant buzz of beach-front cafes and vendors. This is undoubtedly one of the most popular places to visit in Brazil, resonating with endless energy and festivities.

The Amazon Rainforest: A Natural Wonder

No journey to Brazil would be complete without venturing into the mystical Amazon Rainforest. Embark on guided tours from Manaus to delve into the world’s largest tropical rainforest. Here, you'll witness the unparalleled biodiversity that Brazil prides itself on. Whether you're navigating down a colossal river or tracking wildlife among the trees, the Amazon offers a humbling experience of nature's grandeur. Your exploration will offer insights into indigenous cultures, enhancing the allure of these enchanting landscapes.

Iguazu Falls: Nature’s Spectacles

Feel the raw power of nature at Iguazu Falls, a marvel straddling the border between Brazil and Argentina. As one of the best places to visit in Brazil, the falls manifest in a series of thunderous cascades, embracing the surrounding subtropical rainforest. Whether viewed from the Brazilian side's Devil's Throat or from panoramic trails, the spectacle of over 270 falls presents a memorable plunge into nature and serenity.

Salvador: The Cultural Melting Pot

Venture into Salvador, a city that narrates the story of Brazil’s diverse cultural tapestry. This vibrant city is famous for its Afro-Brazilian culture, colonial architecture, and delectable Bahian cuisine. Stroll through the cobblestone streets of Pelourinho, where coloured facades and historic churches stand as testaments to a rich past. Engage with capoeira performances and indulge in moqueca, a savoury seafood stew that tantalizes the taste buds.

Lençóis Maranhenses: Surreal Landscapes

For an otherworldly experience, visit the Lençóis Maranhenses National Park. Unlike anything you've seen before, this unique desert landscape is interspersed with crystal-clear lagoons, especially vibrant after the rains. Trek through the rolling dunes and swim in the freshwater pools for a truly surreal adventure. It’s one of Brazil’s hidden gems that assures a spectacular addition to your Brazilian journey.

The essence of Brazil lies not only in its attractive destinations but in its ability to weave tales through its landscapes, people, and cultures. Whether you're selecting Brazil vacation packages or crafting your unique adventure, these destinations offer a mesmerizing blend of sights, sounds, and stories. Through every samba rhythm, rainforest echo, and waterfall roar, Brazil invites you to immerse yourself in a world where nature and culture dance in harmony.

Brazil is great to visit all year round, but December to March is ideal for experiencing the vibrant summer energy and major events like Carnaval. For those who want to search for wildlife in the Amazon & Pantanal, I would suggest April to October

Travellers must plan for diverse weather as the country ranges from tropical in the north (Amazon rainforest -with high humidity and rain) to temperate in the south, with hot, dry inland areas and a semi-arid Northeast region experiencing less rain.

Everything was expertly planned, from the drivers to the hotels to the tours to the flights. We particularly enjoyed Hobart and the animal sanctuary, Adelaide and the trip to Kangaroo Island, Melbourne and the evening tour with dinner and drinks, and Sydney with the private boat cruise of the Harbour. We will definitely use Goway again.SARA Wiebe

There were 4 travelers on this trip. All of us were in our late 70's. We started planning this trip 6 months prior to our travel date and had a lot of questions regarding this trip. Our Goway Travel Specialist, Karen Larrota, always answered our questions in a timely and complete manner. We traveled to Quito, Ecuador, the Galapagos, The Sacred Valley in Peru, Machu Picchu, and Cusco in Peru. Not only were the destinations and accommodations excellent, but every tour guide and driver were beyond excellent. The entire trip went smoothly every step of the way, which was amazing given the fact that there were numerous flights and hotels included in our package. We found out that the tour company that Goway used, Condor Travel, checked on us with our guide to make sure we were doing OK which we thought was very nice but also amusing as we are fairly fit older adults. Would also like to mention that we did a cruise thru the Galapagos on the Galapagos Legend which was arranged thru Go Galapagos - Kleintouurs. This portion of our tour was also excellent as were the wildlife guides and staff. We continue to discuss how wonderful this trip was with our family and friends and how wonderful this experience was. Would definately use Goway for our travel needs in the future.Dianne

After spending some time with our agent, we felt that she understood exactly what we had in mind as far as the level of service, etc, we were hoping for. The trip exceeded our expectations. Lori kept us busy(not too busy!) and we had many, many very exciting experiences. Bruce Belshaw

Aylin is an exceptionally proficient advisor. Coordinating my clients simultaneously often feels like herding cats, but she has remained patient and accommodating through every modification and delay. Goway continues to be my go-to for complex itineraries, and they never disappoint.Nick Cron, ACC

My daughter and I had a wonderful 2 weeks in New Zealand! The country is so beautiful and the people so friendly. Our destination specialist did a great job with planning and organizing the itinerary, choosing our hotels, and organizing transportation. The hotels were absolutely beautiful and we had great views. We felt right at home and found all of the staff to be friendly and accommodating. There were no issues with our itinerary and our excursions we were always on the list. Our transportation was always ready and waiting for us. We want to thank Goway Travel for their hard work and patience with us in planning this trip. Any changes that needed to be made were communicated timely. We also want to thank you for the beautiful weather during the entire 2 weeks it was perfect every day 😀. It was a memorable trip that we will never forget and we will think of Goway when we plan our next adventure. Because it was not just a vacation; it was an adventure!Connie Wenhardt

Brigitta Fuller is Amazing! She was my group coordinator. She understood the assignment and all the nuances I was trying to achieve. The itinerary she curated was fantastic. If you want someone who truly cares about her group and what they are trying to achieve. I will always reach out to Brigitta first for Europe groups. Kathryn Walker

My clients had a wonderful time on their trip to Easter Island. They were very pleased with the Hare Nua Hotel Boutique and especially noted the warmth and hospitality of the hotel staff as well as their excellent breakfasts. Jaime Vargas-Hendandez was an exceptionally gracious and knowledgeable agent, who went out of his way to ensure that my clients had the best possible experience. I will definitely contact him for future bookings and will recommend him to my colleagues.Alethea Kardas
