Trip Overview

This expedition enables you to see some of the world's most incredible sights while still allowing plenty of time to relax. Travelling around Brazil's historic coastline before penetrating into the deep Amazonian interior, there is also the Caribbean and Andes to look forward to. Highlights include the Amazon river, Angel Falls and the scenery of the Andes mountains. There are beautiful colonial towns, stunning deserted beaches, fascinating national parks and ancient ruins to explore.
Camping expeditions, by definition, can sometimes involve certain hardships not associated with other styles of travel. These
expeditions are suited to travellers aged from 18 to 45 years old who are reasonably fit and active. We do accept clients up to a maximum of 55 years old but you must bear in mind that you will need to harmonise with the recommended age group. If you love the great outdoors, like having an input into your holiday and enjoy the rewards that camping offers, then these trips are well suited to you.
