What makes this trip

Uncovered Brazil: Rio & Pantanal

Uncovered Brazil is a 9-day tour combining the country's finest wilderness with its most iconic city. The first half is spent in the Pantanal, the world's largest tropical wetland, with three days of guided dawn expeditions to spot jaguars, giant otters, capybaras, and a wealth of birdlife. The journey then continues in Rio de Janeiro, featuring the Sugarloaf cable car, Christ the Redeemer atop Corcovado, and a tram tour through the historic neighbourhoods of Santa Teresa, Lapa, and Cinelândia. Private transfers, comfortable accommodation, daily breakfast, full board in the Pantanal, and permanent local assistance are all included.

Day by day

Itinerary

9 Days / 8 Nights

  1. Landing in Campo Grande feels like stepping into a different Brazil — quieter, greener, and closer to something ancient. Our representative will meet you at the airport and transfer you to your hotel.
    Tonight, rest. Tomorrow, the wilderness begins.
    Overnight in Campo Grande

  2. Breakfast at the hotel
    Your specialist wildlife guide meets you at the hotel, and the journey into the Pantanal begins — the world's largest tropical wetland, a vast, extraordinary ecosystem that makes every nature documentary you have ever watched feel like a rough draft.
    The drive-in is already a wildlife experience. Your guide knows exactly where to stop, when to slow down, and what that movement in the reeds actually is. By the time you reach Pousada Pequi — your home for the next three nights — you will already have seen things worth talking about. Check in, breathe the air, and prepare for days that will redefine what you think wildlife means. Overnight in Pantanal

    Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, & Dinner

  3. Look forward to full days of photographic adventure across both water and land. You'll set off at dawn, when wildlife is most active and the lighting is simply stunning, pausing for an outdoor breakfast along the way. The tour continues until around 10 a.m., when you'll head back to the hotel to relax and enjoy lunch. The rest of the day is yours, with plenty of activities available at the pousada.

    Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, & Dinner

  4. Enjoy full days of photographic expeditions that combine aquatic and terrestrial environments. Activities begin at dawn, when the chances of observing wildlife are highest, and the lighting is at its best. Breakfast is typically served outdoors, and the tour continues until approximately 10 a.m. You'll then return to the hotel to rest and have lunch, with the remainder of the day free to enjoy the activities offered by the pousada.

    Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, & Dinner

  5. Breakfast at the hotel
    The Pantanal gives you back to the world this morning — or rather, it sends you to Rio, which is arguably the most spectacular city in the world and therefore a reasonable destination after three days in the most spectacular wilderness.
    Transfer to Campo Grande airport, fly to Rio, and let our representative take you to your hotel. The Atlantic is out there. The mountains are already visible. Overnight in Rio de Janeiro

    Meals: Breakfast


  6. Breakfast at the hotel


    Full Day: Sugarloaf Mountain and Corcovado by Train
    Rio does not hold back on its first full day.
    Two cable cars carry you to the summit of Sugarloaf — the bay below, the city spread in every direction, the kind of view that makes you reach for your camera and then forget to take the photo because you are simply looking. A proper Brazilian churrascaria lunch follows before the train winds up through the Atlantic rainforest to Corcovado.
    Christ the Redeemer is one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World. In person, with the city visible far below and the clouds occasionally drifting past at eye level, it earns every word of that description. Overnight in Rio de Janeiro

    Meals: Breakfast & Lunch

  7. Breakfast at the hotel


    Half Day: Santa Teresa, Lapa and Cinelândia with Tram Tour
    Forget the postcard version for a morning. This is the Rio of artists, bohemians, and people who have been living here for generations and show no signs of leaving. The tram from downtown rattles across the Arcos da Lapa and climbs into Santa Teresa — colourful, creative, and genuinely lovely. Along the way: Parque das Ruínas with its panoramic bay views, the famous Selarón Steps, the elegant Confeitaria Colombo cafe, and Cinelândia's faded grandeur. The afternoon is yours. The beach is close. So is everything else. Overnight in Rio de Janeiro

    Meals: Breakfast

  8. Breakfast at the hotel
    Rio rewards the traveler who slows down — who walks an extra street, sits at a different café, takes the long way back from the beach. No schedule today. No transfers. Just the Marvellous City, and however you want to spend it. Overnight in Rio de Janeiro

    Meals: Breakfast

  9. Breakfast at the hotel
    Eight days ago, the Pantanal was an idea. Now it is a memory that will take a while to fully process — the jaguar at dawn, the giant otters, the sunrise over the wetland. And Rio, which turned out to be exactly as extraordinary as everyone said it was.
    At the right time, our representative will transfer you to the airport.
    The best Brazil trips always end with the same thought: when can I come back?
