When a family sets out on a journey together, choosing the right tours and destinations that appeal to every member is essential. To help ease this process, we’ve curated a program that offers a perfect blend of wildlife, natural beauty, and thrilling experiences, with options to delight the entire family.
For wildlife enthusiasts, the Pantanal is a must-visit destination. As the largest continuous wetland in the world, it offers exhilarating safaris suitable for all ages, where the chance to spot diverse species like vibrant birds, caimans, capybaras, monkeys, anteaters, and even the elusive jaguar will captivate both children and adults alike.
Just a few hours away is Bonito, a haven for ecotourism located about three to four hours from a South Pantanal lodge. Here, families can explore easy interpretative trails at their own pace, unveiling stunning cascades, natural pools, and intriguing caves along the way. Embrace the local culinary scene, witness the awe-inspiring sight of macaws flocking around a massive sandstone crater, and float down crystal-clear rivers, feeling as if you’re part of a natural aquarium (with the option of a support boat). For those seeking a touch of adventure, try rappelling into a cave for a snorkeling experience amidst enchanting cave formations—a thrilling activity that requires no elite athletic ability.
Foz do Iguaçu rounds out the itinerary, catering to action-seekers and those who prefer a more leisurely pace. Marvel at the raw power of nature at the world’s largest sequence of waterfalls, strategically nestled between Brazil and Argentina—a visit to both sides is strongly recommended. The Bird Park is a family favorite, where you can wander among free-flying birds and butterflies, and encounter marmosets, alligators, and pythons. The adventure doesn’t stop there, with additional opportunities for hiking, jeep tours through the jungle, boat rides, and breathtaking helicopter flights offering unparalleled views from above.
