My spouse & I booked the 5 night/6 day survival experience through PlanetaEXO with Joshua's Amazon Expeditions. Spending time in the rainforest, whether on land or water, was a dream come true! There were so many fascinating insects, plants, sights, & sounds. Stargazing and fishing for piranha were major highlights! We were incredibly fortunate to be accompanied by our guide Ronaldo as well as the local expert Gustavo. They did so much more than keeping us alive and teaching us about our environment; they took a genuine interest in our lives, were generous and kind, and made a point of creating the best experience possible. A great big thank you to this company for offering such an immersive tour and a massive thank you to Ronaldo & Gustavo for making a survival trip so positive and memorable.

A super well-prepared team, good-quality bikes, a perfect choice of places, and the itinerary blends biking in beautiful places with knowledge of the local culture.
If it got any better, it'd be ruined! An incredible experience of the cocoa route culture: biking, hiking, beaches, river, paddling, boat, gastronomy, chocolate! You leave wanting to come back!
I had a simply impeccable experience. The bike ride follows a picturesque dirt road, with landscapes that keep changing along the way and make the ride enjoyable from start to finish. The big highlight is arriving at the warm-water lake — a true natural refuge — perfect for relaxing and recovering your energy after the route. The way the tour is led makes all the difference: the guide shows complete command of the region, leads safely, with attention to detail and genuine care for each participant's experience. It's not just a bike ride, it's a well-structured, safe experience that is also light and enjoyable. I recommend it without hesitation to anyone looking for something beyond the obvious: contact with nature, the right amount of physical activity, and an authentic, well-organized and memorable experience.
Wonderful bike trip through beaches, trails and canoeing.
I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a new adventure. A highly responsible team, committed to every detail of the trip, from the welcome at the airport on arrival until the day we returned. These days we spent together were very safe and fun. On to the next itinerary!!!!!
An experience with a lot of safety and warmth!! Excellent, professional and responsible team!!
Incredible itinerary! There's time to enjoy the ride and make the most of the delicacies and the places on the route! Super well-prepared team! I will certainly come back for new itineraries!

All of this combined with cycling, top-quality equipment and an experienced, professional and very friendly team. I highly recommend it, it's guaranteed fun, with safety and lots of pleasant and unforgettable moments. Thank you for this wonderful trip.
Brazil expeditions: Which one is right for you?
Brazil expeditions are a multi-day push into terrain you cannot reach and back out of in an afternoon: nights under canvas or in a hammock, distances covered on foot, by paddle, or by 4×4, and a guide who carries the route in their head. This is the deep end of adventure travel—and there is plenty of space for it. The country holds more than 70 national parks and ecosystems that run from the world’s largest rainforest to a 2-billion-year-old tabletop mountain.
The classic Brazil expeditions cluster in four places. The Amazon Rainforest (roughly 60% of which sits on Brazilian borders) is where survival and kayak routes camp in hammocks slung between trees, with the longer paddling days covering 18 to 38 km of river. Mount Roraima, on the triple border of Brazil, Venezuela, and Guyana, is an 8-day trek with 3 nights spent on the summit of one of the oldest rock formations on Earth. The Pantanal, the world’s largest tropical wetland at roughly 150,000 km², runs remote wildlife and jaguar expeditions away from the lodges. For the truly committed, Pico da Neblina, the country’s highest peak at 2,995 m, is a serious multi-day expedition through the remote northwest Amazon.
So who is this for? Travelers who would rather earn the view than be driven to it. Brazil’s expeditions suit reasonably fit walkers, paddlers, and campers who are comfortable with heat, humidity, rustic conditions, and consecutive active days. You don’t have to be an athlete, and you don’t need previous survival or camping experience. Most routes are designed for beginners as well as veterans, with guides building skills as you go. Want something less technical? Multi-day treks across Jalapão and the dunes of Lençóis Maranhenses deliver the expedition feeling with gentler days.
A practical note before you plan: our packages cover the on-the-ground experience (guiding, camps, and listed meals, plus transfers from the gateway city) but not international or domestic flights. Most expeditions run as small groups, often capped at 6 to 8, with private departures available from 2 people—sometimes at no extra cost. Whether you picture guided adventure tours in Brazil through the rainforest, a back-to-back wildlife run, or one hard summit, we cost it by trip, not by brochure.
