Brazil

Wild, vast, inexplicable. From endless dunes and turquoise lagoons, to the heart of the Amazon, and the lost world of Roraima – this isn't just a journey, it's an expedition through natural forces that still rule the world.

Brazil

WhyBrazil?

Land of Extremes, Jungle and Living Worlds

Brazil doesn't unfold slowly – it engulfs you.
Here, nature isn't a backdrop, it's the main character. The rivers are wider than the horizon, the jungle breathes, the sand moves, and the mountains look as though they don't belong to this planet.

From the languid rhythm of the lagoons in Lençóis Maranhenses, through the dark waters of the Amazon and the river life, to the rugged, mystical mass of Mount Roraima – Brazil is a journey between worlds. Between water and land. Between civilisation and primal nature.

This is a SPOT where you feel your scale. And you begin to rethink it.

Is this journey meant for you?

Challenge

Comfort

Nature

Culture

This journey isn't for those who seek comfort at every turn.

It's for those who want to break free from control, to move, to change terrains, climates, and rhythms – and to trust the journey.

You will travel by boats, jeeps, planes, and on foot. You will sleep on a ship in the Amazon, walk among dunes and lagoons, feel the humidity of the jungle and the wind over Roraima.

If you're looking for an experience that shakes you up, takes you out of your comfort zone, and returns you with a different perspective on the world – this journey is for you.

LENÇÓIS MARANHENSES

A Desert Where Water Sets the Rhythm

Lençóis Maranhenses is one of those SPOTS that the mind refuses to accept as real. Endless white dunes that don't lead to dryness, but to life. Among them, hundreds of freshwater lagoons are born – turquoise, green, milky blue – shaped by rain and wind.

You travel with a 4×4 across the sand, then step down barefoot to continue on foot. You immerse yourself in the cool water, lie in a hammock, and watch as the sun changes the colours of the dunes. Here, there is no noise, no city, no horizon in the classic sense – only movement and vastness.

Lençóis isn't toured. You linger in it. And that's when it begins to work its magic.

AMAZON

Life Flowing by the Water

The Amazon isn't a SPOT you visit. It's a world you temporarily live in.
Sailing along the river reveals a daily life that follows the water – floating houses, small settlements, fishermen, and children who leap directly from the veranda into the river.

The days pass between motorboats on narrow tributaries, encounters with pink dolphins, jungle that creeps perilously close to the shore, and walks under the shadows of trees older than any civilisation. At night, the river is silent, but the jungle comes alive – sounds, reflections, eyes in the dark.

This is a place that makes you realise how little control we have. And how liberating that can be.

MONTE RORAIMA

The Lost World at the Edge of the Continent

Mount Roraima rises like a massive stone platform above the jungle – raw, silent, and completely different from everything around it. It is one of the oldest geological formations on the planet, a SPOT that seems as if it belongs to another era.

The flight over Roraima reveals landscapes that are unlike Earth – sheer walls, an endless plateau, waterfalls disappearing into the clouds. From above, there are no landmarks, no trails, no signs of humanity – only shape, scale, and silence.

Roraima doesn't impress loudly. It stands there and watches you.
And when you return, you feel that you've seen something few people will ever see.

Itinerary

Day 1

Sofia → Istanbul → São Paulo

We take off from Sofia at 15:50 with a Turkish Airlines flight to Istanbul. After a brief stopover at one of the world's largest airports, we board the night transoceanic flight to South America.

We leave Europe behind and begin the slow adjustment to another continent, another rhythm, and a different sense of scale. This is the day of transition – from the known to the unknown.

Overnight on the plane.

Day 2

First Encounter with Brazil

Early in the morning, we land at Guarulhos Airport – the largest in the Southern Hemisphere. Transfer to the hotel in the Avenida Paulista area and early check-in to rest after the long flight. Breakfast and time to adapt.

In the afternoon, we go for a walking tour along Avenida Paulista – the iconic heart of São Paulo. It's a SPOT that brings together modern architecture, street art, culture, and the pulse of one of the largest cities in the world. The walk is about 3 hours and offers a first real encounter with the dynamics of Brazil.

In the evening, we return to the hotel to rest.
Overnight in São Paulo.

Day 3

São Paulo → Jericoacoara

We rise early and head back to the airport. We're on an internal flight of about three and a half hours to northeastern Brazil – the state of Ceará. In just a few hours, we completely change the climate and atmosphere.

We arrive in Jericoacoara at 10:20 am – a small resort town surrounded by dunes, ocean, and turquoise lagoons. Here we ditch our outer layers – it’s summer all year round. We settle into a guesthouse on the shore of Paradise Lagoon, famous for its hammocks strewn directly in the water.

The afternoon is free for rest and our first encounter with the tropical rhythm. In the evening, we send off the sun from the beach dunes – one of the most beautiful sunsets in the region.

We return to the hotel with a 4×4 transfer.
Overnight in Jericoacoara.

Day 4

Jericoacoara → Barreirinhas

The day begins calmly with breakfast and final moments by the lagoon. Around 11:00 a.m., a minibus picks us up for an all-day transfer westwards. A long but varied journey lies ahead.

We cover about 380 km and cross three Brazilian states – Ceará, Piauí, and Maranhão. The landscapes gradually change, with a growing sense of remoteness from civilisation. We take a lunch break in the old town of Parnaíba, then continue north.

By sunset, we arrive in Barreirinhas – a small town located on the banks of the Preguiças River and the gateway to Lençóis Maranhenses National Park.

Accommodation in a guesthouse by the river.
Overnight stay in Barreirinhas.

Day 5

Barreirinhas → Lençóis Maranhenses National Park → Atins

After breakfast, we hop into 4×4 jeeps and enter the Lençóis Maranhenses National Park. The landscape is unusual and almost surreal – endless white dunes separated by freshwater lagoons in vibrant blue and green hues.

During the day, we visit some of the most beautiful lagoons in the park, including Moon Lagoon. There is time for swimming, wandering the dunes, and simply gazing at the expanse. We have lunch at a restaurant set amidst the sand, far from roads and living SPOTS.

The afternoon continues with a rest in hammocks in the shade and more dips in lagoons. Later, we visit one of the most picturesque lagoons, accessible by a wooden staircase, and the day ends with a sunset near the fishing village of Atins.

Accommodation and dinner at a guest house in Atins.
Overnight stay.

Day 6

Athens → Barreirinhas

The morning is free and easy-going. Atins is a SPOT where the Preguiças River flows into the Atlantic Ocean, and life follows the rhythm of the wind and water. There is time for a walk along the beach, coffee, and final views of the dunes.

In the afternoon, we head back to Barreirinhas, this time by water. We board a boat and sail along the upper course of the river. On one side, the endless sand dunes continue, while on the other side, green shores appear, creating the feeling of a corridor between two worlds.

On the way, we stop for lunch by the river and continue smoothly towards Barreirinhas. We settle in at the guesthouse and have time to rest after the days filled with sand and water.

Overnight in Barreirinhas.

Day 7

Barreirinhas → Manaus

We rise early and head further north. After a transfer of about 3 hours, we reach Parnaíba Airport, where our aerial journey towards the Amazon begins. First, we fly to Fortaleza, and after a brief stop, we board the plane to Manaus – the capital of Amazonas state and the gateway to the jungle.

With every passing minute, the landscape below us becomes greener, denser, and more impenetrable. We land in Manaus in the afternoon and head to the hotel for some rest.

This is a day of transition between worlds – from dunes and lagoons to the largest tropical rainforest on the planet.

Overnight in Manaus.

Day 8

Manaus → Amazon

After breakfast, we have some free time at the hotel until noon. Final preparations before leaving the city and immersing ourselves in a different rhythm.

In the afternoon, we head to the port of Manaus, where our Amazon expedition begins. We board the Iberostar Heritage Grand Amazon and settle into our cabins. From this moment on, the river sets the pace.

The sailing begins smoothly. The water unfolds around us, and the jungle gradually replaces the urban views. Welcome to the heart of the Amazon – a world where nature dictates the rules.

In the evening, it's our first night on the river.
Overnight on the ship.

Day 9

Amazonka

The day begins early with a journey via motorboats across Lake Yanauaca. We pass by floating houses, observing the daily lives of local people who live entirely in harmony with the water's rhythm. We keep an eye out for pink dolphins – one of the region's symbols.

In the afternoon, we continue by motorboat towards one of the Amazon's tributaries – the Manacapuru River. We delve deeper into the jungle, where the vegetation is dense and life around the river is omnipresent. There's a chance for traditional piranha fishing and observing the Amazonian flora and fauna.

In the evening, we venture out for a night safari. The river is quiet, while the banks come alive – nocturnal birds, caimans, snakes, and countless sounds that remind us the jungle never sleeps.

Overnight on the boat.

Day 10

Amazon - deep in the jungle

We continue our expedition along the upper reaches of the Amazon. The landscapes change with every bend in the river, and the sense of remoteness from civilisation grows stronger.

We enter another tributary of the Amazon – the Manacapuru River. From here, a jungle trek begins where the vegetation is dense, humid, and alive. We reach Lake Janauari and its floating houses – a world where water serves as road, yard, and home.

Throughout the day, we observe the diversity of Amazon flora and fauna, and at the lake, we meet local tribes who spend nearly their entire lives on the water. The day passes slowly and richly, following the river's rhythm.

Overnight on the ship.

Day 11

Amazon → Manaus

Last morning of the cruise. We arrive early at one of the world's most famous natural phenomena – the Meeting of the Rivers. This is the SPOT where the Solimões (the upper course of the Amazon) and the Rio Negro flow side by side for miles without mixing.

The contrast is clearly visible – the light, clay-colored waters of the Solimões against the dark, almost black waters of the Rio Negro. The difference in temperature, density, and flow speed creates this impressive natural spectacle.

After the cruise ends, we disembark at the port of Manaus and head to the hotel. After a short rest, we set out for a half-day city tour. We visit the iconic Amazon Theatre, the Rio Negro Palace, and the Adolpho Lisboa Market – SPOTS that tell the tale of the rubber boom and the golden years of the city.

Overnight in Manaus.

Day 12

Presidente Figueiredo - The Land of Waterfalls

After breakfast, we leave Manaus and head north towards Presidente Figueiredo – a region known as the Land of Waterfalls. Our journey takes us deeper into a lush, green, and sparsely populated area.

During the day, we visit some of the most beautiful natural sites in the area – the Irasema and Araras waterfalls, the Maroaga cave, and the Blue Lagoon park. This is a day dedicated to water, greenery, and short hikes amidst tropical nature.

In the evening, we settle in Presidente Figueiredo and have time to relax after the intense days in the Amazon.

Overnight stay in Presidente Figueiredo.

Day 13

Through the Amazon to the Edge of Brazil

We rise early and after breakfast, we head further north. A long journey of nearly 600 km awaits us, leading through sparsely populated and wild regions of the Amazon.

We pass through the Waimiri-Atroari reserve – a territory inhabited by local indigenous communities, where movement is strictly regulated. The road is both monotonous and impressive, and the feeling of distance from civilization gradually intensifies.

We stop at the Equator line for photos and a short break, then continue into the Northern Hemisphere. We have lunch in Rorainópolis and in the late afternoon, we arrive in Boa Vista – the capital of the state of Roraima, the northernmost point of Brazil, on the border with Venezuela and Guyana.

Accommodation and overnight stay in Boa Vista.

Day 14

Monte Roraima National Park

After breakfast, we reach the highlight of the journey – the region of Monte Roraima. If desired and weather conditions permit, we head to the airport for a panoramic flight over the mountain.

Following a brief briefing, we take off for one of the most impressive aerial experiences in South America. The flight lasts about 1 hour and 20 minutes one way, and over the massif itself, we circle for 20 to 30 minutes, revealing the full scale of the Roraima tepui – a 2734-meter ancient rock rising above the jungle.

From the air, you can see the sheer walls, the endless plateau, and the clouds constantly moving around the peak. This is an encounter with a SPOT that seems timeless.

After the flight, we return to Boa Vista. The afternoon is free for relaxation.
Overnight in Boa Vista.

Day 15

Forest Trails and Waterfalls

After breakfast, we leave Boa Vista and head towards the Apiaú area for a full day hike in Flona Roraima. Today is all about walking and getting up close with nature.

The Apiaú trail takes us through a tropical forest, featuring rivers, small valleys, and waterfalls. Expect gentle climbs, shaded sections, and open spaces, with the route ending at a waterfall. It's a moderately difficult hike suitable for those with average fitness levels.

After the hike, we return to Boa Vista for some relaxation and our final night in the Roraima region.

Overnight in Boa Vista.

Day 16

Boa Vista → São Paulo

After breakfast, we check out of the hotel and head to the airport in Boa Vista. Ahead of us lies the longest domestic flight in Brazil – about 5 and a half hours, taking us back to the southeastern part of the country.

From the air, we once again glimpse the vastness of Brazil – endless green expanses, rivers, and territories that stretch far below us. In the late afternoon, we land at Guarulhos Airport in São Paulo.

We take a short transfer and settle into a hotel near the airport. The evening is free for relaxation and reflection, allowing us to gather our thoughts after days spent in the jungle, along the rivers, and among the dunes.

Overnight stay in São Paulo.

Day 17: Into the Unknown

Back to Europe

After breakfast, we check out of the rooms and head to the airport. We bid farewell to Brazil with a flight to Istanbul, leaving behind a continent full of contrasts, vastness, and wild landscapes.

This is a day of transition and reflection – a time when experiences gradually settle, and memories begin to shape into stories.

Overnight on the plane.

Day 18

Istanbul → Sofia

We land in Istanbul in the late morning. After a short stay, we board the flight to Sofia. We arrive in the afternoon, with luggage filled not only with photos but also with experiences that linger long after the journey has ended.

The expedition ends, but Brazil stays with us.
