Brazil
Brazil
Brazil is a brilliant choice for families who want sunshine, energy and a real sense of “wow” from their holiday. It’s a country that feels instantly alive – from the samba rhythms drifting through Rio’s neighbourhoods to the golden sweep of Copacabana and Ipanema, where kids can splash in the waves while you watch locals play beach football. Families are genuinely welcomed here; Brazilians adore children, and you’ll notice it in the easy smiles, relaxed restaurant culture and the way people go out of their way to help. Away from the famous cityscapes, there are calm bays, tropical islands and laid-back beach towns where the pace slows right down and flip-flops are about as formal as it gets.
In terms of holidays and experiences, Brazil offers a fantastic mix. You can ride cable cars up to Sugarloaf Mountain, take a jeep tour through Tijuca’s urban rainforest and cycle along Rio’s beachfront paths, all in a couple of days. Fly up to Iguazu Falls and your whole family can stand, wide-eyed, in front of one of the most powerful waterfalls on the planet, exploring walkways and lookout points that feel like something from an adventure film. Older children will love a taste of the Amazon, with riverboat journeys, canopy walks and wildlife spotting, while everyone can enjoy boat trips around Ilha Grande or Paraty, stopping at coves for swimming and snorkelling. Add in fresh tropical juices, brigadeiro sweets, football matches and the sheer colour of Brazilian life, and you’ve got a family holiday that’s as memorable as it is fun.

Must See & Do
From the samba-fuelled streets of Rio to the roar of Iguaçu Falls and the endless green of the Amazon, Brazil is all about life lived in full colour. One day you’re sipping a caipirinha on Copacabana, the next you’re cruising the Pantanal in search of jaguars or swaying in a hammock by a remote, palm-fringed beach.
This section pulls together the experiences that really capture Brazil’s spirit – the music, the beaches, the wildlife and that unmistakable, joyful energy that seems to hang in the air wherever you go.
Gaze Over Rio from Christ the Redeemer
Location: Rio de Janeiro
Standing atop Corcovado Mountain beside Brazil’s most iconic statue is a moment that stays with you. The views sweep across Rio’s dramatic coastline, Sugarloaf Mountain and the city’s sun-drenched neighbourhoods. Come early, breathe it in and marvel at one of the world’s great panoramas.
Lose Yourself in the Amazon Rainforest
Location: Amazonas Region
A journey into the Amazon is raw, immersive and awe-inspiring. Cruise along jungle waterways, spot wildlife in the treetops and breathe in the dense, earthy scent of the world’s largest rainforest. It’s an adventure that makes you feel wonderfully small in nature’s grand design.
Dance Through the Streets of Salvador
Location: Bahia
Salvador bursts with Afro-Brazilian culture, colourful colonial buildings and music that spills into the cobbled streets. From capoeira displays to irresistible food markets, the city is a whirlwind of rhythm and soul. It’s one of Brazil’s most joyful and culturally rich destinations.
Marvel at Iguaçu Falls
Location: Paraná, Brazil–Argentina Border
On the Brazilian side, the full sweep of Iguaçu opens before you in breathtaking style. Walk the elevated pathways, feel the spray on your skin and listen to the thunder of the cascades echoing through the jungle. It’s a natural masterpiece that’s impossible to forget.
