Luxury Amazon & Pantanal: Brazil’s Wild Landscapes

Arrive in Manaus, the historic gateway to the Amazon, and settle into a characterful boutique hotel before embarking on a private river cruise. Over the next three days, travel deep into the rainforest aboard a small, well-appointed expedition vessel designed for quiet navigation and minimal environmental impact.

Daily excursions by canoe and on foot reveal the intricate ecosystems of the Amazon, from flooded forests and narrow tributaries to hidden wildlife habitats. Guided jungle walks, birdwatching and night safaris offer a deeper understanding of the region, while evenings are spent enjoying regionally inspired cuisine and uninterrupted river views.

Fly south to the Pantanal, a vast wetland renowned for its extraordinary biodiversity and open landscapes that allow for exceptional wildlife viewing. Stay within a private conservation reserve where comfort and sustainability are central to the experience.

Daily safaris by vehicle and boat focus on tracking jaguars along riverbanks, alongside encounters with capybara, caiman, giant otters and abundant birdlife. Evenings are spent unwinding in understated luxury, with thoughtful dining and stargazing under wide, open skies.

This final chapter offers a powerful contrast to the Amazon – it is less dense, more expansive, and one of the most rewarding wildlife regions in South America.
