Beaches
No matter where you travel along Brazil's coastline, you are never far away from a picture-perfect beach, some hidden and deserted, others thriving with typical Brazilian beach life.
Brazil is a country of fantastic natural beauty, where the spirit of carnival and the rhythm of music and dance are shown in an energetic lust for life.
Brazil is a land of superlatives with stunning landscapes, abundant wildlife and a rich colonial history. It exudes the exotic and conjures up thoughts of golden sun-drenched beaches, lazy palm trees and deep blue skies. It evokes vibrant cities, infused with Portuguese heritage, blended with African influences and inhabited by laid-back Brazilians with a zest for life and love of energetic carnivals and rhythmic music.
But Brazil is a vast country with many faces, and away from the coast the vast rainforest of the Amazon, the expansive wetlands of the Pantanal and thundering waterfalls of Iguassu present a natural side with extraordinary bio-diveristy.

A huge thanks to Veloso Team. Everything went very smoothly which considering the number of flights, meetings, hotels, guides etc. was a miracle. Well done.
From the outset we had wonderful holidays. Our driver and Guide, Betsheyla, in Cusco were exceptional and helpful. In Rio de Janeiro, Eugenio, was very good and extremely knowledgeable.
Our holiday worked well due to the suggestions Nick put in. Our guides were always early so there was no hanging out. Hotels and excursions exceeded expectations. We had the holiday of a lifetime.
Congratulation to your company for our splendid itinerary, documentation and your choice of the guides, especially Eugenio Souza in Rio de Janeiro who was amazing and Santana who was excellent.

Guides were excellent and really loved their countries. It was the first time we had personal guides and we were very impressed with them all. Always on time for pickups and nice clean vehicles.
Thank you for all times and effort that went into our fabulous holiday. No complaints. Except that 4 weeks is unfortunately too short for visit these places.
Amazing trip to Brazil thanks to your team. A special mention to Carlos Carbosa in Salvador Da Bahia: We found him to be a very friendly flexible guide who was also very good company.
Our tour hosts were without fail. They were friendly, warm, informed, open and shared the love of their country. We recommend all of them highly, especially Eugenio in Rio and Gaby in Bariloche.
We had a most fantastic holiday. Guides were all very knowledgeable, they took us around interesting places, and took into consideration our age and fitness levels making each part enjoyable.
From Lima to Sao Paulo we were truly looked after, and we have Veloso’s hard work in the planning to thank for this. Thank you all for making an unforgettable trip of a lifetime.
We had such a wonderful time and your organisation was flawless - in a holiday that relied on excellent planning there was not one single glitch! Our guides were simply wonderful!
