Camping in Brazil

Camping in Brazil includes choosing between sleeping in a hammock under the canopy of the Amazon Rainforest, pitching a tent on the dunes of a desert national park, or carrying everything to the top of a two-billion-year-old tabletop mountain. What ties them together is that you trade a hotel for the place itself, and a guide carries the know-how so you don’t have to. Most of our camping trips are beginner-friendly: no previous camping or survival experience is required.

In the Amazon, camping is rustic and real. Nights are spent in hammocks strung under mosquito nets and rain tarps, on river beaches, or in the forest itself on guided survival expeditions of 4 to 6 days out of Manaus. These trips deliver night walks, caiman spotting, and learning to read the forest from local guides. Facilities are minimal, so part of the experience is adapting to it.

For a gentler kind of wild camping in Brazil, head to the open country. In Lençóis Maranhenses, a national park of over 155,000 hectares of white dunes and rain-fed lagoons, you can sleep on the sand under an open sky or in hammocks with local families. In Jalapão, multi-day treks cross golden dunes and crystal springs, with nights camping or in hammocks in riverside communities like Rio Novo. These are the trips for travelers who want desert silence rather than dense jungle.

The flagship is the Mount Roraima trek: 8 or 10 days crossing the Gran Sabana to the foot of the tepui, then up onto a summit that sits at 2,810 meters, with 3 nights camping on top of one of the oldest landscapes on Earth. Tents, kitchen equipment, and cookware are all provided.

So how does it work? We run these trips guided and supported; the camping gear is included, and the package covers the experience (guides, logistics, meals on the route) but not your international flights.
