Luxury Brazil Family Trips made for you
Wild places, warm seas and the rich contrasts of Brazil for families
Brazil’s wonderful variety makes it a fantastic place to bring your family for a trip. Be amazed by the nature of the Amazon Rainforest, the stunning sight of Iguassu Falls and the country’s many beautiful beaches. We can help you make the very most of your time, including selecting curated experiences to spot wildlife, learn about Brazilian culture or enjoy a balance of both.
In Fernando de Noronha, families can explore the archipelago, stopping to swim, snorkel, spot dolphins and spend time on some of the country’s most beautiful beaches. In Salvador, private experiences can introduce you to the city’s Afro-Brazilian heritage through music, cuisine and local history. One of our favourites is a chef-led culinary experience that begins in a local market and ends with a traditional Bahian meal.
In the Amazon, see another side of Brazil. Enjoy the chance to head out after dark to spot nocturnal wildlife in the forest. And when you want more cultural connection, visits to local communities are a great way to learn about local traditions and daily life.
Our Latin America travel designers have years of experience creating tailor-made family trips to Brazil. You’ll be assigned a dedicated travel expert who takes care of the detail, the pacing and all the planning behind the scenes. So you can simply enjoy your family vacation from the start.

When to visit Brazil
Brazil’s summer runs from December to March, and winter falls between June and September. Summer can be hot, humid and rainy in many parts of the country, which makes the cooler shoulder seasons a good time to travel. The Amazon stays humid year-round, even in the drier months. Carnival is a brilliant time to visit Rio, but it’s one of the busiest periods of the year, so it’s worth booking well in advance.
