Why Brazil?

Land of Extremes, Jungle and Living Worlds

Brazil doesn’t unfold slowly – it engulfs you.
Here, nature is not a backdrop but the main character. The rivers are wider than the horizon, the jungle breathes, the sand shifts, and the cities are alive with contrasts.

From the lazy rhythm of the lagoons in Lençóis Maranhenses, through the dark waters of the Amazon and the riverside life, to a journey into the past of São Luís, Brazil is a voyage between worlds. Between water and land. Between the wild and the vibrant. Between silence and rhythm.

This is a place where you feel your scale.
And you begin to reconsider 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 away from control, to move, to change terrains, climate, and rhythm – and to trust the road.

You'll travel by boats, jeeps, and planes. You'll sleep on a ship in the Amazon, walk among dunes and lagoons, feel the humidity of the jungle and the salty air of the Atlantic Ocean.

If you're looking for an experience that will shake you, take you out of your comfort zone, and bring you back 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 places the mind refuses to accept as real. Endless white dunes that lead not to drought, but to life. Between 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 you step out barefoot and continue on foot. You take a dip in the cool water, lie in a hammock, watch as the sun changes the colours of the dunes. Here, there is no noise, no city, no horizon in the classic sense – just movement and vastness.

Lençóis is not for sightseeing. It’s for slowing down. And that’s exactly when it starts to work its magic.

AMAZON

Life Flowing by the Water

The Amazon isn't a place you visit. It's a world you temporarily inhabit.
Sailing along the river reveals a daily life that follows the water – floating houses, small villages, fishermen, children leaping straight off the veranda into the river.

Days drift by between motorboats on narrow tributaries, encounters with pink dolphins, jungle creeping perilously near to the shore, and walks beneath the shadows of trees older than any civilisation. At night, the river is quiet, 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.

FORTALEZA AND SAO LUIS

Northeast Brazil: stunning nature and a rich history

The largest city here is Fortaleza, and this will be our first encounter with Brazil. Once part of Dutch Brazil, today it's a modern coastal city with beautiful beaches and lively boulevards by the ocean. On one side - the bustling city life, and on the other - timelessness with a coconut in hand. This is the authentic face of Brazilian everyday life, filled with contrasts.

We will also visit São Luís, the capital of Equinoctial France 400 years ago, and today, the capital of Maranhão and reggae in Brazil. The historic centre of São Luís is one of the best-preserved colonial cities in the world and is now protected by UNESCO. Here, history isn't confined to museums; it's woven into the very streets, facades, and urban memory.

Itinerary

Lisbon → Fortaleza → Jericoacoara → Lençóis Maranhenses → São Luís → Manaus → Amazon river cruise → Lisbon

Day 1

Sofia → Lisbon

We depart from Sofia at 19:40 with Bulgaria Air to Lisbon. Transfer and accommodation at a hotel near the airport.

Overnight stay in Lisbon.

Day 2

First Encounter with Brazil

Our Brazilian journey begins in Lisbon, tracing the steps of Pedro Cabral, who set sail from here towards Northeast Brazil over 500 years ago. His expedition lasted 44 days, while we take the shortest flight from Europe to Brazil (Lisbon – Fortaleza) and by the same evening, we're in South America.

Overnight stay in Fortaleza.

Day 3

Fortaleza

Today is a completely free day for the beach, shopping, or a city stroll.

Jet lag stirs us early for the beautiful sunrise over the ocean, after which we have breakfast and immerse ourselves in relaxation, adjusting to the Brazilian vibe.

Overnight in Fortaleza.

Day 4

From the big city to the ocean

After breakfast, we hop on a minibus to Jericoacoara. A small coastal village hidden among dunes, lagoons, and the ocean. We settle in a guesthouse on the shore of Paradise Lagoon, famous for its hammocks stretched directly over the water.

In the evening, sunset from the dunes. One of the most beautiful in Brazil.

Overnight in Jericoacoara.

Day 5

A Day Without a Watch

Today, there's no plan. No transfer, no schedule, no 'must'. Jericoacoara is a place without paved streets, where time follows the sun and the wind, not the clock.

A free day for beach time, swimming in the lagoons, and just soaking up the atmosphere. If you wish, try kite surfing or a buggy ride through the dunes. The afternoon concludes again with a sunset from the dunes, a moment that brings everyone together in one place.

Overnight stay in Jericoacoara.

Day 6

On the Road

A leisurely morning in the hammocks, after which we head west by minibus. Ahead of us are 380 km through three Brazilian states: Ceará, Piauí, Maranhão. A lunch break in the old town of Parnaíba.

At sunset, we arrive in Barreirinhas, a small town on the banks of the Preguiças River. The gateway to Lençóis Maranhenses National Park. We settle into a guesthouse. Quiet, river, and anticipation for tomorrow.

Day 7

White Dunes, Blue Lagoons

We board our 4×4 jeeps and head into Lençóis Maranhenses.

The landscape gradually unfolds: endless white dunes interspersed with freshwater lagoons in vibrant blues and greens. First is the Moon Lagoon. We lunch at a restaurant amidst the dunes, followed by an afternoon siesta in shaded hammocks, coupled with a dive in the lagoons.

We continue to the Beautiful Lagoon, one of the most picturesque, accessed by climbing a wooden ladder. From the top, sand and water in hues that defy any filter.

The sun nears the horizon, and the colours of the dunes shift. We bid farewell to the sunset from the shore of the fishing village Atins. Accommodation and dinner on-site.

Overnight stay in Atins.

Day 8

Along the river, back to the sands

A leisurely morning on the shores of Atins, where the Preguica River meets the Atlantic Ocean. Coffee, a stroll, and final glimpses of the dunes.

In the afternoon, we set off back to Barreirinhas, but this time by boat along the upper reaches of the river. On one side, endless sandy dunes. On the other, green banks like a corridor between two worlds. Between them, beautiful sandy islands, and from the shore, the capuchin families wave to us.

We stop for lunch by the river and continue towards Barreirinhas.

Overnight in Barreirinhas.

Day 9

From the reggae capital to the jungle

We rise early and continue north. Transfer to São Luís, the reggae capital of Brazil. A colonial city with African influences, colourful facades, and music echoing from every street corner. Stroll and lunch in the centre.

In the afternoon, we head to the airport. We depart from São Luís at 15:05 with a flight to Belém, from where we continue to Manaus. We leave the ocean and city lights behind us. Ahead, the jungle. We arrive and settle in the heart of the Amazon.

Overnight in Manaus.

Day 10

We’re boarding the adventure

Breakfast and free time at the hotel until noon. Final preparations before leaving the city and entering a completely different world. Long trousers, long-sleeved shirts, a hat, closed shoes. Insect repellent and sunscreen, as jungle treks await us.

In the afternoon, we head to the port of Manaus. We board the Iberostar Heritage Grand Amazon and settle into our cabins. The river takes control. The first night on the water is quiet, vast, and dark.

Overnight stay on the ship.

Day 11

Pink Dolphins and Night Safari

In the morning, we head out onto Lake Yanayacu in motorboats. Floating houses, children leaping into the water, fishermen lost in their world. Pink dolphins appear without warning, surfacing for a second before diving back into the dark waters.

In the afternoon, we venture into the Manacapuru tributary. The jungle closes in overhead, the vegetation so dense that the sunlight filters through in stripes. There's the chance to fish for piranhas, observe the flora and fauna, and connect directly with the life flowing through these waters for millennia.

As evening descends, a night safari awaits. The river is calm. The banks come alive. Night birds, caimans, snakes, and sounds serve as a reminder that the jungle never sleeps.

Overnight onboard the ship.

Day 12

Into the Jungle

We continue upstream. The landscapes shift with every turn, and the sense of remoteness from civilisation becomes ever stronger. We enter the Manacapuru tributary and from there we trek into the jungle.

The vegetation is damp and alive. We reach January Lake and its floating houses, a world where water is the road, the yard, and the home. We encounter local communities who live in complete harmony with the river. Here, time is measured by the water level, not by the clock.

We return to the cabins and pack our bags because this is our last night in Brazil.

Overnight on the ship.

Day 13

Back to Civilization

Last day in Brazil. We start the day with one of the most famous natural phenomena on the planet: The Meeting of the Waters. The Solimões and the Rio Negro flow side by side for 6 kilometres without mixing. One is light and clayey, the other is dark, almost black. Different temperature, different density, different speed. You watch them and can't believe that water can be so stubborn.

We dock at the port in Manaus at 08:30 a.m. Free time for shopping, lunch, and a chance to explore another Brazilian city. The Amazon Theatre, a symbol of the rubber boom, the Rio Negro Palace, and the Adolpho Lisboa market. The scent of spices, fish, and tropical fruits you’ve never seen before.

In the afternoon, we head to the airport for a 19:10 flight with TAP Portugal direct to Lisbon.

Overnight on the plane.

Day 14

Lisbon

We arrive in Lisbon at 11:15 am. We collect our luggage and settle back in Lisbon for an afternoon rest. Late in the evening, we return to the airport and at 11:50 pm, we take off to Athens with Aegean Airlines.

Day 15

Sofia

Early in the morning, we arrive in Athens, and after a short stop, we continue towards Sofia. We land back at 10:05 am.

The expedition ends. Brazil remains.

No, Bulgarian citizens do not need a visa for stays up to 90 days within a 180-day period. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months after the date of entry. Carry proof of your return ticket.

What currency is used in Brazil and how do I pay?

The official currency is the Brazilian Real (BRL). Card payment is accepted in larger cities and venues. In more remote areas and markets, cash is necessary. We recommend exchanging money in banks or authorised exchange offices, not on the street.

What's the weather like in Brazil during the journey?

Brazil is vast and the climate varies by region. In the Amazon, temperatures are 25-35°C year-round, with a wet season from December to May. In Rio and the southern states, summer (December-March) is hot (30-40°C), while winter (June-August) is cooler (10-18°C). The Northeast is warm all year (25-30°C). We tailor the route to the seasons.

Is there mobile internet and Wi-Fi in Brazil?

Wi-Fi is available in most hotels, restaurants, and cafes. Mobile coverage is good in cities and larger resorts. In the Amazon and remote areas, coverage is limited or absent. We recommend a local SIM card (Claro or Vivo) for better coverage.

Can I fly a drone in Brazil?

Drones are allowed, but regulated. Drones over 250g require registration with ANAC, which requires a Brazilian CPF number (tax identifier, obtainable online). Drones under 250g (DJI Mini series) do not require registration. Flights in national parks are prohibited. Maximum altitude: 120m.

Ready for an adventure?

An expedition is an expedition! The Amazon is a unique place, which requires special attire. For maximum comfort, we recommend packing your luggage with suitable clothes for the cruise and excursions.

For jungle excursions: 2 pairs of long trousers, light long-sleeved shirts/blouses, closed shoes (suitable for trekking), long socks, a light raincoat, a hat or visor.

For boat trips: shorts, light or quick-drying T-shirts, trainers (comfortable shoes), a small "dry bag" backpack, binoculars.

Dress code for the captain's dinner: the last evening of the cruise is a captain’s dinner with a show. For women: elegant blouse or shirt, shorts, skirt, or dress, sandals or shoes with a moderate heel. For men: polo or stylish sports T-shirt, chinos or shorts, casual loafers or smart trainers.
