Take an adventure trip to Brazil and enjoy a variety of activities, which can include hiking, mountain biking, scuba diving, caving and much more. Plan well in advance and enjoy a memorable adventure in this diverse and beautiful country.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Appropriate clothing and proper equipment
  • Airline tickets
  • Trip reservation
  • Passport and visa
  1. Step 1

    Research Brazil. Look on the Internet and visit the public library for information on Brazil, including climate, geography and available adventure activities. Narrow down which regions of Brazil are of most interest to you.

  2. Step 2

    Contact BootsnAll Travel Network at (866) 549-7614. BootsnAll specializes in adventure packages to South America and can provide trips to Brazil that include boat tours, snorkeling, fishing, swimming, canoeing and rappelling down waterfalls.

  3. Step 3

    Select a date. Between December and February, many Brazilians themselves are on vacation domestically. Therefore, accommodations may be harder to come by and more expensive. If you are planning to visit the beach on your adventure trip, avoid travel from June to August when the water is cold and rough.

  4. Step 4

    Compare package prices depending on dates and activities desire. When you have selected an adventure trip package, then book your trip.

  5. Step 5

    Get travel documents and immunizations. A valid passport and a traveling visa are required for U.S. citizens to enter Brazil. In addition, visitors must have a return trip ticket. Yellow fever, typhoid and hepatitis A immunizations, as well as insect protection are recommended.

  6. Step 6

    Pack appropriately. Brazilian weather changes drastically by season and region. Use the Internet to learn about the weather for the particular parts of Brazil you are visiting to find out what type of clothing you may need. Also pack adventure equipment, medications and traveling documents. Enjoy your time in Brazil and make sure to allow extra days for relaxation and leisure time.

Tips & Warnings
  • Drink bottled water instead of tap water. Tap water is heavily treated in many areas of Brazil, resulting in a chemical taste.
  • Read the fine print before booking any travel arrangements for your adventure trip.
  • Do not wear jewelry or expensive clothing in public. Also do not carry large amounts of cash in Brazil as travelers can be targets for criminals.
