Sustainable adventures in Brazil for travelers attending COP30, offering curated nature experiences that connect you with the forest, its people, and the climate agenda.

For those planning to attend the conference or follow it closely, there is one key question: What to do in Brazil during COP30? This is a great opportunity to explore the Amazon Rainforest and other unique destinations like the Pantanal, Monte Roraima, and Chapada Diamantina. And nothing makes more sense during a climate conference than supporting ecotourism, which directly benefits conservation efforts and local communities.

COP30 Brazil, held in Belém, Pará, from November 10 to 21, 2025, will bring global attention to the Amazon, a region vital for climate regulation and biodiversity. By visiting Brazil, you help preserve its ecosystems, support sustainable tourism, and promote climate action.
