Brazil is one of the world's most extraordinary travel destinations — a country of iconic landmarks, untamed wilderness, vibrant culture, and breathtaking natural wonders that leave every traveler wanting more. At Memphis Tours, our Brazil vacations are designed to take you deep into the heart of this remarkable country, combining its most iconic experiences with the expert guidance, seamless logistics, and personalized service that have made us a trusted name in travel since 1955.
Rio de Janeiro — The Soul of Brazil
No Brazil vacation is complete without Rio de Janeiro. One of the most visually stunning cities on earth, Rio is home to Christ the Redeemer — one of the Seven Wonders of the World — rising 700 meters above the city atop Corcovado Hill, part of Tijuca Forest, the largest urban forest in the world. Sugarloaf Mountain offers a breathtaking 360-degree panorama of the city's extraordinary landscape, where mountains meet the Atlantic coastline in a setting unlike any other on earth. Our Rio de Janeiro vacation packages give you the perfect introduction to this iconic city — with expert guides, comfortable accommodation, and the freedom to discover Rio at your own pace.
The Amazon — Earth's Greatest Wilderness
Memphis Tours' Brazil vacations take you beyond the cities and deep into the world's greatest wilderness. The Amazon rainforest covers over 5.5 million square kilometers and is home to 10% of all species on earth. From the city of Manaus — a remarkable river metropolis that grew from nothing during the 19th-century rubber boom — our Amazon vacations combine the city's extraordinary cultural heritage with immersive days in a jungle lodge, where the Amazon's extraordinary flora, fauna, and indigenous communities become your daily world. The Amazon Theater, the Rio Negro Palace, and the Salesian Missions Museum reveal the fascinating history of this remarkable city before the jungle takes over entirely.
Iguazu Falls — Nature at Its Most Powerful
Among our most popular Brazil vacations, the Iguazu Falls experience is one that no photograph can prepare you for. Consisting of 275 individual waterfalls stretching nearly 3 kilometers along the border between Brazil and Argentina, Iguazu Falls was declared a UNESCO Natural World Heritage Site on both sides — and with good reason. Memphis Tours' Brazil vacation packages cover both the Brazilian side, with its sweeping panoramic views of the full width of the falls, and the Argentinian side, where the famous Devil's Throat drops 80 meters in a roar that stays with every visitor long after they leave.

Yes. As of April 2025, Brazil requires US citizens to obtain a visa before travelling — the previous visa-free arrangement has ended. American travellers now need to apply for an electronic visa (e-visa) in advance of their trip. The e-visa is applied for online, so there's no need to visit a consulate in person, and it's typically valid for multiple entries over a period of several years. Your passport must also be valid for at least six months beyond your arrival date in Brazil. We recommend applying well ahead of departure, and we're happy to point you to the official application portal and confirm exactly what you'll need.
It's recommended for travel to the Amazon and several other states, including Amazonas, Mato Grosso do Sul, and Pará. It's mandatory if you're arriving from a country with recent yellow fever outbreaks. Check with your doctor well ahead of departure.
April–June and September–November offer the best balance — comfortable weather, fewer crowds, better prices. December–March is summer: hot, festive, and peak season, with Carnival in February or March. If wildlife is your priority, June–October is dry season in the Pantanal and the best window for jaguars.
Yes — this is one of the most popular requests. Iguazu straddles the Brazil–Argentina border, which makes the combination natural, and Brazil–Peru works well for travellers who want Machu Picchu alongside the Amazon. See our multi-country tours or ask us to build one.
Brazil is visited by millions of travellers every year without incident. As in any large country, the usual precautions apply in cities — be aware of your surroundings, don't display valuables, use arranged transport at night. Travelling with a private guide and pre-booked transfers removes most of the friction, which is a large part of what we do.
o. Brazilians speak Portuguese, not Spanish, but all our guides speak English, and you'll be looked after throughout. A few words of Portuguese go a long way socially, though.
