Luxury Private Brazil Tours made for&nbsp;you

Caiman Ecological Refuge is the most comfortable lodge in the Pantanal and offers a truly wonderful and unique experience. The lodge is set in the grounds of a working cattle ranch and despite the strong human influence in this area, there is still plenty of wildlife to see. Capybaras, hyacinth macaws, caiman, jaribu stalks and lots of other wildlife are all seen regularly in the immediate surrounds of the lodge. Activities are shared with other guests (a maximum of 12) and are tailored to the less active traveller, with hikes generally of a shorter length and cycling on relaxed trails

The Pantanal

Casa Caiman

Actually inside the national park on the Brazilian side, this luxury property is ideally located. Walking out from the lobby one can hear the thunder of the falls and the hotel is surrounded by lush tropical rainforest. The hotel has been recently refurbished throughout to a high standard and in keeping with the colonial mansion style of the hotel’s original design. The hotel has large rooms with high ceilings, hard wood flooring and period style furniture. There is a large pool area in the rear to relax at with a drink after a day exploring the falls.

Iguassu Falls

Hotel Das Cataratas

The location of the lodge is perfect, next to a nature reserve and UNESCO world heritage site which encompasses the world’s largest river archipelago and hundreds of islands, lakes and a flooded forest. Being positioned on the Rio Negro means that mosquitoes are much less prevalent than in other areas. The lodge is made up of just sixteen tastefully decorated wood-paneled rooms all with air conditioning and a private veranda. There is also a well-stocked reading room and a pool and deck to relax on between the tours and activities. Tours are well planned and the guides are local to the area.

Anavilhanas Lodge

Uxua is undoubtedly one of Trancoso’s most stylish offerings. Run by Wilbur Das, creative director of the Diesel fashion label, there is great character and attention to detail, all with a rustic theme that merges effortlessly with the local setting. Accommodation is set in a number of private ‘Casas’ each with a unique style and character and ranging from one to three bedrooms; one is even a tree house. As a stunning centre-piece to the accommodation is the pool, lined with 40,000 turquoise aventurine quartz stones (native to Bahia) standing as a testament to the careful and painstaking care taken to create a hotel that is at once unique but with roots in the location it is based. The hotel is located on the ‘Quadrado’ or village square of Trancoso and has a spa with an extensive range of treatments. The restaurant is excellent, with many of the fruits and spices grown in the hotel’s own gardens. Many of the ‘Casas’ have their own full kitchen and local chefs can be brought in to give you a lesson in local cuisine. The Casas themselves are large and equipped with all the amenities one would expect in a luxury accommodation, some include jacuzzis and private plunge pools. They are all beautifully decorated with items produced by local artisans.

Trancoso

Uxua

The recently opened Casa Turquesa is the most luxurious hotel in Paraty. With just nine individually decorated suites and a pleasant pool area the pousada is located in the heart of the historical district near to the pier. The building is originally 18th century but was damaged in a fire thirty years ago. It has since had a complete refurbishment retaining the colonial style of the area but to modern standards of luxury and comfort. Each of the rooms is tastefully decorated and well appointed with air conditioning, flat screen televisions and large bathrooms.
