Within an area larger than that of the continental U.S., Brazil’s varied landscapes encompass deserts, mountains, beaches, plains and forests. The only Portuguese-speaking nation in the Americas has a population of 175 million people, and like its landscapes Brazils cultures are equally varied: from cosmopolitan and chic urban centers, to rural estancias, to indigenous jungle villages. Brazilians are well-known for their enthusiastic passion for life and influences from Indian, African or European heritages are manifested in the unique traditions of each region.

Amazon Rainforest Cruise aboard the M/Y Tucano
The Amazon River is 7 miles wide near Manaus. It drains a 2.3 million square mile basin that contains the earth's largest tract of tropical forest. 60% of this region, known as Amazonia, lies within Brazil, and has beckoned explorers since the Spaniard Orellana first navigated the river in 1542. Using an air-conditioned, 18-passenger riverboat as our base, we watch for birds in the treetops, study plants in the forest, swim off of white sand beaches, fish for piranha in black water streams, search for caiman at night, and visit local river communities. view details Length: 11 days / 10 nights Season: March - December Rating: Grade I Land Cost From: from $3,185
