Encontro das Águas — 27-day round trip: Amazon, Pantanal & Bahia
Sample itineraries · Manaus · Amazon · Bonito · Southern Pantanal · Salvador · Chapada Diamantina · Praia do Forte · Maceió · Maragogi
Four weeks of Brazil in one route. This 27-day itinerary starts in Manaus with a three-night jungle programme at the Amazon Turtle Lodge, then flies to Campo Grande for the crystal-clear rivers and caves of Bonito and a full-board lodge stay in the Southern Pantanal. The second half is set in the Northeast: historic Salvador, the table mountains and waterfalls of the Chapada Diamantina, and a self-drive along the coast of Bahia and Alagoas via Praia do Forte, Barra de São Miguel and Maragogi to Recife. Pantanal and Amazon stays are full board with daily excursions; city and beach hotels include breakfast. Between July and October humpback whales can be seen off Praia do Forte.
