About the itinerary
Brazil’s size tends to worry people. However, a well-designed family itinerary does not try to cross the entire country. In our view, it simply picks one lane and commits to it, whether that lane is a farm in the Atlantic Forest, the vibrant energy of Rio de Janeiro and the colonial charm of Paraty. The transfers are short, the places you stay are comfortable, and the pace is set by the family, not by the clock.

TripHighlights
Fazenda Catuçaba & the Atlantic Forest:A 19th-century working farm set within 450 hectares of Atlantic Forest in the highlands of São Paulo, Fazenda Catuçaba offers an authentic countryside experience where sustainability is part of everyday life. Guests can ride horseback through the mountains, hike the trails of the Serra do Mar State Park, and enjoy farm-to-table cuisine prepared almost entirely with ingredients grown on the property, including its own organic cachaça.
Picinguaba & the Serra do Mar: Nestled on a protected bay within the UNESCO-recognized Serra do Mar ecosystem, the caiçara village of Picinguaba offers a slow-paced coastal experience deeply connected to local traditions. Guests can snorkel in crystal-clear waters, explore nearby islands by private boat, fish alongside a lifelong local fisherman, and visit the community-run Casa da Farinha agroforest, where ancestral knowledge and sustainable practices have been preserved for generations.
Rio de Janeiro & Paraty (UNESCO World Heritage Sites): Rio de Janeiro, recognized by UNESCO for its “Carioca Landscapes between the Mountain and the Sea,” blends natural beauty with vibrant culture, from Christ the Redeemer to its lively samba scene. Paraty, a UNESCO-listed colonial town, showcases Brazil’s historical and cultural richness, offering an immersive journey into its past and commitment to preserving nature. Both destinations reflect Brazil’s leadership in sustainable, culture-driven travel.
