Description of Tailor made holiday in Brazil
This tailor made holiday in Brazil follows a carefully crafted itinerary that allows you to take in the famous sights of Rio and some of the country’s most magnificent landscapes. Starting in Rio you will head out along the Green Coast. Enjoy a few days in Rio first, sipping caipirinhas on Copacabana or taking a guided tour up to Sugar Loaf Mountain. You will have experienced driver guides with you throughout.
After the excitement of this great city, your next coastal destination is Paraty, a laid back colonial town with magnificent sea food restaurants, boutiques, cobbled streets and a wonderfully arty ambience. You can also take boat trips from here out to bays around the town, or go kayaking among coastal mangroves. Or just enjoy time chilling out at a stunning seafront pousada, in the heart of the Serra do Mar Natural Park.
Continuing on you will reach the pristine beach hideaway of Picinguaba. A stay at Pousada Picinguaba allows guests to disconnect from the outside world by encouraging guests to leave their internet-connected devices in the lobby while they explore the gorgeous surroundings. Guided excursions offered by the pousada range from jungle trekking to a day out on the water with local fisherman and with several days spent soaking up paradise, you get a real impression of all the region has to offer.
Your itinerary takes you inland next to Latin America’s fastest growing metropolis of Sao Paulo, where we recommend a day to explore before taking a flight to Cuiabá. This is your gateway town to the sprawling Pantanal region, the largest wetlands in the world—roughly equivalent in size to Washington —and an ideal place to leave the outside world behind. You will explore the region by travelling by boat and foot in and around your remote, yet exquisite pousada, where birds, butterflies and some stunning rare mammals form the majority of the population. This includes the elusive jaguar, monkeys and a plethora of birdlife, including hyacinth macaws.
This Brazil holiday ends in style, flying south again to Iguaçu Falls which actually consist of over 270 falls. We take you to both sides of the falls, which create a natural border with Argentina, giving you the best all round experience.
We believe that the best time to go to Brazil, following this particular itinerary, is between April and September, so that you can catch the dry season in The Pantanal. This is when wildlife emerge in search of water and are much more visible. The climate generally will be pleasant elsewhere on your itinerary, cooler than at other times, but dry.

Planet and people
Refúgio Ecológico Caiman is home base for the Blue Macaw Project, which was devised by Neiva Guedes of UNIDERP (The University for the Development of the State and Region of the Pantanal) and inaugurated in November 1998. They collect young birds rejected by their parents and raise them until they are strong enough to be released into the wild, collect data on this endangered species and monitor existing nests. Since the project began and the Refugio Ecologico Caiman began educating residents in the area about preserving the wildlife as opposed to hunting it, the numbers of hyacinth macaws in the area have dramatically increased.Since its creation, biologists from several different countries as well as students from Brazil's most important universities, have take part in the Hyacinth Macaw Project. Along with the support provided by the project base, the Blue Macaw Project also receives assistance from many other foundations and enterprises. Some of these include the Hyacinth Macaw Fund, which provides funds through the California Community Foundation, the Smart Family Foundation, Toyota Motor Co., Parrot Society, Ibama and the Manoel de Barros Foundation.
Along with the normal planned activities, Caiman guests can also watch the work of the Blue Macaw Project up close by visiting the base during their stay.
