FAMILY WILDLIFE ADVENTURES |
 |
AmazoniaBrazil contains the vast majority of the forest and rivers of Amazonia. The sheer scale of the Amazon basin is truly awesome, yet good wildlife viewing is only found in a few choice locations. Around Manaus and in many other parts of Amazonia, it is very difficult to spot wildlife satisfactorily, often due to hunting or human encroachment. But further afield, in the south and west, nature-oriented families can fully experience the thrill of spotting many species of monkey, various macaws, hundreds of butterflies, the powerful harpy eagle or even a jaguar or shy tapir in the depths of the seemingly impenetrable undergrowth. |
Suitable for families with older children, this varied itinerary combines three very different wilderness habitats – the verdant Amazonian rainforest, the vast Pantanal plains and the natural marine beauty of Marau – with one of the best preserved colonial cities in South America. There will certainly be many excellent wildlife sightings and a full range of activities to enjoy in the company of local English-speaking guides, as well as plenty of time at the end to relax. Truly a trip your family will remember fondly for years to come. Find out more... This gentle itinerary for families who wish to minimise the amount of travel starts with a very comfortable, small Pantanal ranch by a river providing full wildlife possibilities as well as children’s swimming pool, tennis courts and sauna. Next come the urban delights of famous Rio with its Corcovado and Sugar Loaf mountains and Ipanema beach, followed by the chic Atlantic resort of Buzios for some seaside pampering. An attractive mixture of nature, town and coast offering something for every family member while staying in fine accommodation throughout. Find out more... Our aim is to produce an itinerary of impressive diversity for families with older children (8 years old or more). We begin at a luxury Pantanal lodge with excellent potential for wildlife sightings. We follow with Bonito and its crystal clear, fish-filled rivers, caves and the wonderful Hole of the Macaws. Then to the world’s most impressive waterfalls, Iguacu, before finally flying south for close encounters with dolphins and right whales. A multitude of exotic experiences which will remain with you and your children for the rest of your lives. Find out more... |
Two jaguar sightings were the highlight, we also saw very entertaining giant otters, an amazing variety of birdlife, plus caiman, capybara, … and anaconda. Mr & Mrs A W, Cork. |
