Top 15 3-Day Experiences in Brazil

1.3 Days Amazon Jungle Adventure Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 145 reviews · 3 days (approx.) · from $360Our pick

3 days from Manaus into the Rio Negro jungle: canoe trips, piranha fishing, jungle walks with medicinal plants, and sunrise Caboclo life.

“I think this experience was missing a trick. It wouldn’t take much to improve the facilities, catering and guided tours to make it an outstanding few days. The accommodation was grimy. Showers only cold, and I really think if you are asking guests to put used toilet paper in a bin, said bin should be emptied at least once a day. There was no variety in the food, lunch was the same as dinner, Monday was same as Tuesday. The guided tours, I would have graded good on the whole, but the trip to indigenous village was a flop as they had all been parting and couldn’t perform their welcome…”

Trekking privado de 3 dias no Vale do Pati saindo de Lençóis, com Mirantes, Morro do Castelo, Gruta da Lapinha, refeições e transfer.

“We had the most amazing 3 day Vale de Pati trek with the best guide, Daniel! From start to finish, the communication was awesome, the food was delicious, and most importantly, Daniel created such an impeccable and fun vibe for our group. There were only four of us, which was great compared to some of the other large groups with other companies we saw on the trail. The landscape is stunning, and each day has new environments and scenery. It is challenging enough to feel fulfilling but not so hard that you aren’t having fun. This is truly one of my favorite treks I’ve ever done, and apart from the…”

3-day Jalapão tour from Palmas with guided canyon, dunes at sunset, fervedouros, waterfalls, meals, and English-speaking support.

“I conducted my expedition to Jalapão with the Jalatoca agency and had the privilege of being guided by Marcos. From the beginning, he passed all the necessary information before the trip, which made all the difference. During the tour days, he was always very caring, attentive and concerned to offer his best. On water walks, he entered before to check the depth, which showed caution and conveyed a lot of safety to us. The experience was incredible and the professionalism of Marcos contributed a lot to that!Auto-translated”

11.Grand Selva Tours 3 Day Jungle Expedition Ecuador all incl

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 8 reviews · 3 days · from $285

3 days in Ecuador’s Amazon from Tena: wildlife rescue, Arajuno tubing, Anaconda Island caimans, cacao rituals, and night hikes.

“The second day with the tubbing was absolutely amazing. We had a lot of fun with the team, just beautiful people and great vibes! We visited a preservation area, a local community and we had a private chocolate making activity. Very nice. The accommodation was correct but lacked a bit of service, like snacks, no flexibility on lunch and dinner hours, sometimes no hot water but we understand that given the location, some things have to be more rudimentary. Overall, Karin and her team were without exception all exceptional. Thank you !”
