A 4-installment payment plan is available, often with 0 percent interest to those with at least decent credit. Ask us for details. Our luxury-oriented and itinerary-packed “North Brazil in 13 Days” tour is available for $2,860 USD per person. This price includes all transportation, except flights. It also includes English-speaking tour guides, food, all activities, all entry fees and lodging in the Amazon for 2 nights. If you would like lodging included for the remaining 10 nights, then the combined (transportation, tour guides, food, activities, entry fees and lodging) total would be $3,834 USD per person. This price is based on 2 per room and is offered to those booking at least 6 weeks in advance. Note that there is a $30 USD fee if paying by bank transfer or a 4.6 percent surcharge for payments made by credit card. We accept both forms of payment. We do not accept checks. Moving forward, to better understand your specific circumstances and wishes, and for us to accurately quote you, please tell us:
1. How many persons in your party-including yourself-would be joining this tour? Solo travelers are welcomed, in case you were wondering.
2. What is your age and the age of your travel companion(s), if applicable? Travel insurance is required for this tour and we cannot quote you without knowing your age.
3. Would you be sharing the room with others in your group (e.g. a spouse, relative or friend) or do you want the room exclusive to you?
4. Even though the standard lodge we use in the Amazon is of good quality, Mirante do Gaviao Lodge in Novo Airão is on a whole other level. It is one of Brazil’s finest-and unsurprisingly most expensive-Amazonian lodges. Are you interested in upgrading?
5. Where would you be flying from (and back to)?
6. On what date would you like to leave home?
7. Would you like to add another day of exploring in the Amazon? We strongly recommend it. Unless you request otherwise, with this tour package you have only 1 full day in the Amazon.
8. Would you like to extend the duration of this tour so you have some free days just to relax? If you have 1 extra day, then we recommend you spend it in Morro de Sao Paulo. If you have more time, then we recommend you spend it in and around the town of Porto Seguro. On the day of arrival in Porto Seguro, we relax at a cove called Coroa Vermelha, which is only a 30-minute drive away. The next day, we make a daytrip first to the village of Caraiva, then to a beach called Praia do Espelho and finally to the small town of Trancoso. On the third and final day, we first head to a beach called Lagoa Azul followed by to the town of Arraial D'Ajuda. Lagoa Azul features a mud pool rich in minerals. The rest of the destinations feature beautiful beaches dotted with nice restaurants and passionate music. What make these destinations different from every other pretty beach destination in Brazil are the tides are often low and the water is multicolored: red, turquoise and often yellow. This is due to the minerals, which also explains why some of the mountain rocks are completely red.
9. Lastly, would you like to extend this 13-day tour by 3 days so you can visit the island of Fernando de Noronha? There is a direct flight to there from Recife. The reason why Fernando de Noronha is not automatically included is because it is more of a ‘special interest’ kind of destination. Even though there is a handful of attractions which make this island nice, ultimately it is best suited for families looking for relaxation and otherwise for those who like surfing.
