Outside of Africa, Brazil has the largest population of people who identify as black in the world. This is no coincidence. The country is also one of the most notorious in the Transatlantic Slave trade of the 16th-19th centuries. This tour pays tribute to the country's Afro-Brazilian heritage, how the culture has been influenced by the African experience in the country, and how the black population resists to this day. Join us on an educational, musical, delicious, and stunning journey! On this trip, at least 60% of your travel investment will go directly to black-owned local businesses, from accommodations, to guides, to drivers, traditional communities, and more.

Brazil has enough climatic variety to sustain travel throughout the year. Expect humidity in the equatorial north, with heavy rain in the Amazon basin from December until May when river levels rise significantly. The famous Amazonian pink river dolphin can be spotted – with a bit of luck – all year round. Although the coastal regions northward are generally sunny, from Rio southward there are noticeable seasonal changes, with the coldest months from July until September. Temperatures can drop to 10°C (50°F) even at sea level in the far south.
