Brazil Family Holiday Highlights
Tour itinerary
Rio de Janeiro – Iconic Views, Favela Art & Beach Time
Arrive in Rio and meet your private driver for the short transfer to Hotel Arpoador, a sleek boutique hotel between Ipanema and Copacabana. Spend 4 nights here in a deluxe double room with breakfast included, enjoying a rooftop pool, ocean breezes and two double beds ideal for families.
During your stay, enjoy a private full-day guided tour with Rio Cultural Secrets—ride the Corcovado train through Tijuca Forest to Christ the Redeemer, visit hidden waterfalls, and ascend Sugarloaf Mountain by cable car. Dive into Rio’s creative spirit with a visit to Projeto Morrinho, a community-run art initiative featuring a colourful miniature favela. Here, kids can get hands-on in a creative workshop using recycled bricks.
On your free day, relax on Ipanema Beach, explore Parque Lage’s artistic gardens, or enjoy sunset from Arpoador Rock. Prefer a samba class or cycling tour? Let us personalise your Rio adventure.
Manaus – Jungle Gateway & Colonial Charm
Fly to Manaus and overnight at Villa Amazônia, a beautifully restored mansion hotel near the grand Amazon Theatre. Enjoy the courtyard pool and explore the local markets. In the afternoon, we suggest a visit to the Museu da Amazônia (MUSA), where you can climb a 42-metre observation tower above the treetops and walk eco-trails through protected forest.
The price and room set-up in this itinerary is based on two children under 12 sharing with their parents. Ask us to tailor this itinerary to your children’s ages and preferences.
Amazon Rainforest – Wildlife & River Adventures
Travel by road and river to Juma Amazon Lodge for 3 nights on an all-inclusive basis in a raised 2-bed family bungalow surrounded by jungle. Your stay includes a full programme of activities: canoeing at dawn to watch the forest come alive, guided nature hikes with expert naturalists, traditional piranha fishing, and visits to local caboclo communities. Spot sloths and monkeys on riverbanks, learn jungle survival skills, and take thrilling night safaris by boat to see caimans and hear the rainforest’s nocturnal chorus. Between adventures, enjoy local Amazonian cuisine served communally at the floating restaurant, and unwind in hammocks strung beneath the canopy. Looking for something extra special? Ask us about a private wildlife photography walk or a family tree-planting experience.
Praia dos Carneiros – Lazy Days on the Coast
Fly to Recife and transfer to Pontal dos Carneiros, where you’ll stay for 5 nights in a 2-bed family beach bungalow with breakfast included. Set just steps from the sea, this peaceful resort offers a lovely pool and calm, shallow waters perfect for paddleboarding, kayaking and snorkelling in nearby coral pools.
Explore coconut groves and riverside trails by bike or on foot, or let us arrange a boat trip along the coastline to visit hidden beaches, mangrove channels, or the postcard-perfect Church of São Benedito. For a splash of culture, try a cooking class with a local chef or visit nearby Tamandaré for a seafood feast. Want to swap beach time for eco-adventures or another coastal stop? Let us build your perfect finish.
Say farewell to Brazil as you depart on your journey back home!
After breakfast, your private transfer will take you to Recife Airport for your flight home.
