Family Travel in Brazil

Below you will find our most popular family tours in brazil:.

Road Trip from Salvador to Ilheus

On this nine-day journey of self-discovery you will experience the state of Bahia in its most varied forms. In a rental car you will travel along the Cocoa and Dende coast from Salvador to Itacare. On the way you will discover paradise-like beaches, colonial towns, mangroves, and the Atlantic Rainforest. Active travelers in particular will get their money's worth with various outdoor activities during this tour. Bahia is considered the cultural center of Brazil and impresses all with its Afro-Brazilian traditions in gastronomy and music.

Rio de Janeiro, Atlantic Rainforest, and the Coast of Paraty

If you want to get to know this huge country in a comparatively small area, this round trip to the most beautiful and varied highlights of the state of Rio de Janeiro is just right for you. Travelers will cover the species-rich Atlantic Rainforest, Copacabana, Sugarloaf, Christ the Redeemer, and gain insight into the colonial history of the UNESCO World Heritage Site in Paraty. On a boat trip you will also visit the bays, fjords and small islands, snorkel, and swim. Experience 9 days in the most beautiful places of the state of Rio de Janeiro.

Discover Ilha do Mel via Serra Verde Express

Ilha do Mel (Honey Island) is located approximately 71 miles (115 kilometers) from Curitiba and is by far the most beautiful place the coast of this area has to offer. The island is ideal for nature lovers and hikers. As 90% of the land is within a preservation area, Ilha do Mel is a great place to wander through unspoiled nature and enjoy gorgeous beaches. The island is free of cars, which means you need to walk, rent a bike, or take a taxi boat to get around.

Ilha Grande Beach Getaway

Explore the well preserved and one-of-a-kind nature of Ilha Grande, the most famous island in Brazil. The majority of Ilha Grande is a national park and offers its visitors heavenly beaches, the never-ending Atlantic Rainforest, and breathtaking natural scenery in all directions.

Discover Florianopolis

Experience the city that many Brazilians consider to be the most loved in the whole country. Much of the city is located on the island of Santa Catarina, which offers stunning nature and a high quality of life. Let yourself be fascinated by the island and its dreamy beaches, Atlantic Rainforest, and dramatic coastlines. During your trip you will explore the historic city center, and some of the natural highlights like the dunes of Joaquina and the beautiful Campeche beach.

Amazon Expedition Cruise

Our Amazon Expedition Cruises on typical Amazonas boats give you a unique insight into the breathtaking flora and fauna of this gigantic rainforest ecosystem. Various tours of 3 to 8 days duration provide unforgettable experiences and adventures. With your experienced English-speaking guide, you will enjoy daily excursions such as canoe tours, piranha fishing, rainforest hikes, and visits to small Amazon villages. Wildlife observation is a particular highlight, and with luck, you could spot pink dolphins, otters, monkeys, caimans, sloths, and many bird species, all in their natural habitat.

Planning a Family Vacation to Brazil

Vacations with children, what to consider, which regions are suitable for family travel in brazil.

A great destination for a Brazil family vacation is the colorful state of Bahia. Your journey will begin in the cultural metropolis of Salvador da Bahia and then lead you through the Atlantic Rainforest to the Cacoa coast with its beautiful beaches.

A choice of deserted or activity-packed beaches, a stay on the “Magic Island” of Florianopolis, excursions into the Atlantic Rainforest, boat tours, and exciting experiences in nature all await you and your family.

A family tour to Paraty and Costa Verde also promises unforgettable experiences for the whole family. Together with your children, you can discover the Atlantic Rainforest, plant trees, and try traditional Brazilian recipes. In Rio de Janeiro you can visit all the famous landmarks, such as the Christ the Redeemer statue or the world-famous beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema. To top it off, car-free Ilha Grande, with its spectacular beaches, is always worth a visit.

Traveling to Brazil: When to Go

© Our Whole Village

High Season: December through March, July, and Carnaval

Weather: A year-round destination, Brazil’s temperatures rarely dip below 20°C (68°F), apart from in the mountains and southern regions. A large nation, the climate varies from hot and dry in the arid interior to humid and sticky in the tropical rainforests of the Amazon jungle.

National Holidays: Carnaval is a six-day festival that begins on the Friday afternoon before Ash Wednesday. Brazil sees ramped up crowds roughly one week before Christmas until one week after Carnaval. A lively time of year, many Brazilian families go on vacation during this season. What’s more, the greatest influx of tourists arrive.

Brazil Family Adventure: FAQs

Capital: Brasilia

Time: Brazil has three time zones. But more than half of Brazil is in what is called the Brazil Eastern Time Zone or the Brasilia Time Zone (GMT/UTC -3) including the Brazilian states most visited by travelers. The other time zone most visitors encounter in Brazil is the Western Time Zone (GMT/UTC -4 hours).

Language: Portuguese

Voltage: Brazil uses both 110 v in the cities and 220 v along the coast.

Adapter: Type N for US appliances

Visas for Brazil

Contact your nearest Brazilian embassy or consulate for up-to-date visa information based on your nationality.

If you hold a passport from the United States, Canada, Japan, or Australia, the Brazilian government recently announced visa-free travel. The new policy takes effect on June 17, 2019. For those traveling to Brazil who are nationals of countries not listed above, you must still go through the visa process.

If you do need a visa, we recommend iVisa’s visa service for peace of mind. Read on to find out more about visa requirements for Brazil: Mark Your Calendars: Visa-Free Travel to Brazil Begins June 17th.

Health & Vaccinations

Before every trip, make sure you and your family are up-to-date on routine immunizations including measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine, diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis vaccine, varicella (chickenpox) vaccine, polio vaccine, and your yearly flu shot. All visitors should have travel insurance that covers medical expenses. Vaccinations for Hepatitis A, Typhoid, and Yellow Fever are also recommended. Check with your doctor before travel.

Getting There

© Anyaberkut | Dreamstime.com

The main international airports are Galeao International Airport (GIG) in Rio de Janeiro and Guarulhos International Airport (GRU) in São Paulo.

For a trip into the Amazon, the Eduardo Gomes International Airport (MAO) serves Manaus, Brazil, and you can get direct flights from the US (Miami) via American Airlines and LATAM Airlines Brasil. For a vacation to Bahia, the Deputado Luís Eduardo Magalhães International Airport (SSA) serves Salvador.

During the high season in Brazil, which runs from December through March, airplane tickets into Brazil and lodging prove most expensive. This season peaks with Carnaval. If you’re looking to save as well as avoid crowds, consider a Brazil family vacation between May and September. The one exception to the rule is July, a Brazilian holiday month.

Flight time from Miami to Manaus: approximately 5 hours

Flight time from Miami to Salvador: approximately 8 hours

Currency in Brazil

We recommend that you use ATMs or only exchange at places authorized by the Brazilian Central Bank (BCB). Brazil’s currency is known as the real (pronounced “he-al”). Symbolized with the R$ sign. the country doesn’t accept other currency types. Visitors can exchange up to $3,000 USD.

Most establishments also accept international credit and debit cards. But use extra care when using credit cards and debit cards. Scams have been reported. To stay safe, only use well-known financial institutions and indoor ATMs wherever possible.

What to Eat in Brazil

Safety in Brazil

Criminal activity proves more common in certain parts of Brazil such as its borderlands (except for Pantanal and Iguacu National Park) and impoverished inner-city areas. Avoiding public buses is also recommended by the US government. As with any location that you’re visiting while at home or abroad, remain aware of your surroundings and stay vigilant. Don’t venture out after dark and use common sense. For more information on safety during your Brazil family vacation, read on .

What to Wear in Brazil 

Brazil can be hot and humid because of its proximity to the Equator. Think muted colors and wrinkle-free fabrics that can be easily washed out in the sink when packing. Quick-dry fabrics are also your friends. Although counterintuitive, don’t forget a couple of long sleeve shirts and pants and always opt for loose-fitting clothes in breathable fabrics. Don’t forget comfortable walking shoes that can handle short hikes through the rainforest or trips to scenic waterfalls. For more on what to bring, check out our ultimate pack-and-go checklist .

9 of the best things to do in Brazil with kids

Dec 2, 2023 • 6 min read

From Iguaçu Falls to boating in the Amazon, here's how to explore Brazil as a family © paul mansfield photography / Getty Images

A sunset cable car ride, a thundering waterfall, or exploring the world’s most important ecosystem by riverboat are just a handful of the lasting memories waiting to be made on a family vacation in Brazil .

Pepper that in with treats of pão de queijo (cheese bread) and brigadeiro (chocolate truffle) throughout the day, and you’ve got a trip that's perfect for kids of all ages. Here’s what you need to know about travel in Brazil with children.

Is Brazil good for kids?

Brazil is a fascinating country with an immense wealth of natural beauty and ecological interest for budding naturalists. If you have the kind of kids that will happily talk your head off about wildlife, they will love a trip to Brazil’s wilder regions .

On the other hand, if you’re just looking for a relaxing vacation to take a load off, Brazil’s got that too, with plenty of adrenaline pit stops mixed in to satisfy restless teenagers.

Brazil is also an incredibly welcoming culture when it comes to families, and children are widely accommodated in restaurants and other public spaces. You should have no issues rolling a stroller down the boulevard in Rio and most won’t bat an eye if you need to breastfeed while out and about.

It’s generally easy to find playgrounds and other entertainment for kids, not only in parks but also in supermarkets. Brazil even celebrates Children’s Day, a mid-April holiday with fun fairs and other parties taking place all over the country.

That said, all travelers should keep safety top of mind when traveling in Brazil , kids or no kids. The most common risk to travelers in Brazil is petty theft, so be sure to leave expensive jewelry at home and keep your phone and other electronics tucked away.

Which region in Brazil is best for kids?

Brazil is a huge country and you’ll meet very few Brazilians who have traveled the length of the Atlantic coast and deep into the jungle and interior savannas, so there’s no need to try to see it all on one visit.

Beachside cities like Rio de Janeiro and Florianopolis are great choices for a trip to Brazil with kids, but if you have teenagers don’t discount a visit to inland São Paulo’s Beco do Batman , a street art mecca embedded in a funky, artsy neighborhood.

Whether your idea of an epic adventure is a trek through the jungle or snorkeling on a colorful reef, there’s plenty of natural beauty to explore and a huge regional diversity when it comes to climates and ecosystems.

Beyond the dense rainforest canopies, you can also find mountains of sand in northeastern states like Ceará and Rio Grande do Norte — these dunes are usually never far from gorgeous and family-friendly beach resorts.

On the coast between Rio and São Paulo, there are lots of beach vacation centers in Ubatuba and Ilhabela , and if you fly south to Foz de Iguaçu , you can visit a monumental waterfall, and take a quick trip across the border to add Argentina and Paraguay stamps to your passport.

Best things to do in Brazil with babies and toddlers

Visit the puppet museum in olinda.

Near Recife , Olinda is a historic city with a downtown that’s been recognized as a Unesco World Heritage Site.

It’s known for its larger-than-life puppet processions during Carnaval and babies and toddlers can get an up-close look at these papier-mâché creations at the Casa dos Bonecos Gigantes de Olinda , a museum where these colorful and charismatic figures are on display year-round.

Stay at a family-friendly beach resort

There’s perhaps nothing more Brazilian than taking off for the ocean and enjoying a long vacation with your toes in the sand. One of the most relaxing ways to travel with a baby or toddler is by staying at one of the all-inclusive resorts found all over the country.

Club Med is particularly highly regarded for its kids programs and in Brazil, it has two coastal resorts (near Rio de Janeiro and Salvador) and a lake resort near São Paulo.

Look out for capybaras

Native to Brazil, capybaras may be the world’s largest rodent, but they are also the most adorable. They are common wild animals and can sometimes be spotted in public parks, usually near bodies of water as they are semi-aquatic animals.

While they look cute and cuddly, and their online reputation represents their calmer side, they can get aggressive. Make sure your child gives them space and do not approach them in an uncontrolled environment.

Best things to do in Brazil with kids

Take the cable car to sugarloaf mountain in rio de janeiro.

There really is no better view of Rio than the one you get from the top of Sugarloaf Mountain. The cable car ride to the top is broken up into two parts, first stopping at Morro da Urca, where there are a few shops and restaurants, and then continuing up to the summit, where a mindblowing 360-degree view awaits to amaze the family.

Walk the planks of the waterfall at Foz do Iguaçu

Located at the meeting point of three countries, Foz do Iguaçu in the south of Brazil is the world’s largest waterfall system, comprising nearly 300 waterfalls.

It’s a marvel of nature and while boat rides are available on the Argentina side, the Brazilian side has impressive and secure boardwalks where you can get a view from the top of the falls.

Snorkel off the beaches of Porto de Galinhas

With such a long coastline, you can imagine that there are stunning places to snorkel all over Brazil, but one of the best is located in the north in the beach town of Porto de Galinhas , an hour south of Recife. It's lined with coral reefs and natural pools that you can easily walk to from the shore.

Best things to do in Brazil with tweens and teenagers

Travel on a riverboat ride in the amazon.

A trip to the Amazon offers an opportunity to get an up-close look at the world’s largest rainforest and its biodiversity. If you’re going to go to this adventure haven, you have to get on a boat.

There are multiday cruises that embark from Manaus , but for something more budget-friendly , you can also go on short day trips that will take you to find pink river dolphins and visit the Encontro Das Águas , the two-toned meeting place of two rivers.

Go for a dune buggy ride in Nordeste

For adrenaline-seeking tweens and teens, a dune buggy ride in Brazil is an amazing way to explore. You can find buggy operators in areas where dunes are plentiful like Natal, Jericoacoara and Lençóis Maranhenses . Make sure to bring your bathing suit, in case you come across any scenic swimming holes.

Take a kite surfing lesson in Ceará

Where there are dunes, there tends to also be wind and that makes the northeastern region of Brazil one of the best destinations for kitesurfing in the world. Sign your teen up for a kitesurfing class in Cumbuco for a high-flying beach adventure.

Planning tips for family travel in Brazil

Renting a car is the easiest way to travel around Brazil , especially when you’re exploring multiple towns along the coast or in the northeast. However, if you are budget-minded or not keen on driving, many long-distance bus services are extremely comfortable and safe for families.

Brazilians are generally very friendly to foreigners and kids are widely welcomed and accommodated. You can find many buffet and churrasco -style restaurants with rates for children — these are also great for picky eaters.

Healthwise, the risk of getting sick is low if you’re sticking to major cities and population centers, but it’s always a good idea to make sure everyone in the family is caught up on their travel shots, especially if you plan to visit densely forested and wetland areas like the Amazon.

"My friend and I had a great time during our tour. From the time we were picked up from the airport in Buenos Aires and back to the airport in Rio, the prearranged tours were packed with the must-see spots in both cities but the best is the iguazu falls. We saw both sides (Argentina/Brazil) and it was awesome. The tour also has a relaxed schedule that we don’t feel drained at the end of the day. It was great too that there were free days so we had a choice to chill or just roam around the city. The tour company is very responsive to questions prior and during the tour.
