We had an excellent 7-day cruise. The excursions, whether in small boats or on trails, were really interesting. Our guide Josue was very competent, and so was the crew. The food was very good too. A beautiful adventure.

We did a seven days expedition cruise on the Rio Negro. It was great. The booked boat was in repair and they use an equivalent boat. With 8 guests only, this allowed personalized experience. The crew provided excellent service. The food was amazing and diversified. Our guide was excellent and provided a lot of information about the life of indigenous people, on what the company is doing to help them and how the government is protecting the land. Activities were interesting : swimming with dolphins (they are free and were attracted with fishes), jungle walking, birds and animal watching, communities visits, explanation on survival in the jungle, swimming under a waterfall, piranhas fishing, swimming in the Rio Negro and relaxing on sand banks … It is not a luxury boat but confortable beds and air conditioning in each room. We loved this adventure and made new friends

Peter GreefkensCanada

We had fantastic days in the Pantanal. The lodge 'Aguapé' is a lovely place. The local guides are also a welcome addition to the guide, Izabela from planetaexo. She was knowledgeable. She was able to tell us a lot about the Pantanal, both nature and culture. But we also laughed a lot. All the excursions exceeded our expectations. And between the excursions there was also time to cool off in the swimming pool before sitting down at the table. All the meals are delicious and served with care. And made from local ingredients. Served by friendly staff. The cabins are simple, but have every comfort. It is recommended for everyone.

Our guide, Iza, was excellent; she taught us a lot and showed us so much. We really enjoyed her company—we had great conversations and plenty of laughs. The ranch guides and all the other staff were also very kind and ensured we had a fantastic holiday in the Pantanal. It was a truly unforgettable vacation for us. Thank you to the organization and the staff.

Léo DiserensBrazil

Awesome experience ! Everything is well-planned for an amazing adventure that I will remember my whole life :-). Thank you again for everything.

Verena DemlerGermany

We were a group of four friends and booked a 3-day trekking through Lençóis Maranhenses at the beginning of September, and it was truly an amazing experience. The communication and organisation through PlanetaEXO were very good. We always received quick answers and had the feeling that they cared about making the experience work well for us. We travelled in the low season, so the tour was just the four of us, and we had both camps completely to ourselves. Of course, having the camps entirely to ourselves may be something some people enjoy more than others, but for us it made the experience feel particularly peaceful and special. The lagoons were still filled with water.. We imagine that during the high season the park can get quite busy, so travelling in the low season was a great choice for us. The trekking itself was one of the highlights of our entire trip. Our hosts at both camps were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and our guide Leozihno was fantastic — very competent, knowledgeable and also a really nice person to spend the three days with. The sunrises and sunsets over the dunes and lagoons were just so beautiful, and walking through this unique landscape with hardly anyone else around made it feel truly magical. We can highly recommend the 3-day trek with PlanetaEXO. It was an unforgettable experience and definitely one of the best things we did in Brazil!

Sylvie F.United Kingdom

We did a 5-day tour through Jalapão, and it was an absolutely amazing experience! We got to see so many different and beautiful landscapes, incredible nature, waterfalls and wildlife, and learn more about the local culture and way of life. One of the highlights was meeting local people along the way, who welcomed us warmly, served us delicious homemade food, and shared their stories with us. It made the whole experience feel much more personal and authentic. And we honestly couldn’t have wished for a better guide than José! He was fantastic throughout the entire trip and played a huge part in making these five days so special. Thanks to him, the whole experience was not only beautiful and interesting, but truly unforgettable. We would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to discover the beauty, culture, and people of Jalapão!

Everything was perfectly organized and matched the descriptions exactly, including the accommodation, the food and the tours.

I had a great time on the 3 day hiking trip in Lençóis Maranhenses. There were three of us on the trek, myself and a lovely French couple. Our guide Patricio spoke English, provided us with all the necessary information and was kind and helpful. He gave us a lot of snacks! We had breakfast/lunch/dinner in the small villages and they were able to cater for dietary requirements. The treks themselves are not overly strenuous but there are some very early morning starts. Would definitely recommend the trek as a way of seeing the beautiful national park and swimming in the lagoons in a small group without the crowds.

Pierre FraumanGermany

Lençois Maranhenses is extremely beautiful and unique. But it can also be a real adventure. With the help of PlanetaEXO, it was a very pleasant one. Everything worked as planned.

Solo, not alone: how Brazil group tours for solo travelers work

Brazil is the world’s fifth-largest country at 8.5 million km², spread across four time zones. Booking it alone means stitching together internal flights, boat transfers, lodge logistics, and operators who often work in Portuguese. Group tours hand all of that to a local guide: you arrive, you join a small group on a fixed departure date, and the planning is already done.

Group size is the whole point. Our Brazil group tours run small, from intimate expeditions of 6 travelers to river cruises capped at 16 guests, so you are never one of 40 names on a coach. Small groups keep the pace personal: guides learn what you want to see, and excursions through the Amazon Rainforest or the Pantanal stay flexible. Most departures mix solo travelers, couples, families, and friends.

Travelling solo usually carries a single supplement. On shared departures you can room with another same-gender traveler at no extra charge, and many trips offer a private upgrade from two people at no additional cost if you later want one. That makes a group tour one of the most affordable ways to experience solo travel Brazil, without the single-room penalty most operators add.

The most popular group departures cover the Amazon rainforest, the Pantanal wetlands (the best place on Earth to see wild jaguars) and the trails of Chapada Diamantina. Whether you want a guided jungle lodge, a Pantanal small group tour for wildlife, or a multi-day trek, there is a fixed-date group you can join. Not sure which fits? Each itinerary lists its group size, pace and best months to travel.
