Summary
Most travellers to Brazil either visit the Amazon and Rio or the wonderful regions of Iguassu and the south coast. However, they miss the absolute jewel that is the north coast and its hinterland. An area of raw national parks and wildlife, exquisite UNESCO towns, stunning beaches and landscapes like no other. Explore the remarkable huge sand dunes of the Canoa Quebrada by horse to understand what we mean or the beautiful Parnaiba Delta.
Crossing the vast width of the Amazon, from the City of Belem the next section of the journey takes us into The Guianas, the three jewels of South America, French Guiana, Suriname and Guyana. Here savannah lands and dense tropical forests are home to some of the continent's finest flora and fauna, while the coastal Caribbean plains house some of the most interesting cities and cultures.

Details
This is a trip that would appeal to anyone who wants to explore off beat South America. It is all about the peoples, unspoilt and rarely visited regions and some of the most beautiful beaches and river systems in the continent. The infrastructure is not always perfect, but it is a region that few foreign tourists visit.
