RESPONSIBLE TRAVEL • BRAZIL
We design tailor-made journeys for independent travelers and partner with global travel advisors as your trusted DMC in Brazil.
Tell us how you’d like to experience Brazil, and we’ll design a day-by-day itinerary for you. Then you choose how far you want to go with us: Keep the plan and travel independently, or let us handle everything from bookings to 24/7 on-the-ground support.
FOR PARTNERS
Since 2016, we have partnered with travel agencies and operators worldwide, delivering personalized itineraries, net rates, and on-the-ground operations across the country.
Every accommodation, guide, and local partner is handpicked for their dedication to quality, authenticity, and positive community impact. When you travel with Viare, you invest directly in Brazil and its people.
Viare Travel was founded by Polyana Ferreira de Oliveira, a Brazilian woman with deep roots in responsible tourism. With an engaged team of women, our vision and care shape every journey we create.
Viare Travel is a proud signatory of the Glasgow Declaration on Climate Action in Tourism and a member of the Future of Tourism Coalition. We are also active in Coletivo Muda! an association of responsible tourism companies in Brazil. From prioritizing eco-conscious accommodations to supporting community-led initiatives, responsible tourism is the foundation of every itinerary we design.
From tailor-made nature tours to cultural immersions throughout the country, we bring you experiences no guidebook can offer. We know Brazil's hidden corners and its people, because we're actively visiting the destinations we work with and engaging with its local populations to understand what makes each place so special.

Everything you need to know about planning your trip with us.
We have been working with local operators all over Brazil since our director first started working in incoming travel in 2013, and have become specialists in many destinations of travel interest in the country, as well as more off the beaten path destinations we’d be happy to introduce you to. This said, we have also established partnerships with likeminded agencies and operators in neighboring countries, in order to assist with clients’ travel plans throughout South America.
Our services include, but are not limited to: phone calls and email exchanges during the travel planning phase, individualized quote sourcing and negotiations with local tour guides, drivers and accommodations, flight bookings, meal arrangements when requested, tickets to attractions, and other bookings of interest to our travelers. We can work on your itinerary for a set fee, and you can book on your own, or you can book with us, and get some extra perks.
All trips booked with us also include third party liability insurance, meaning we have you covered in case any of our local providers don’t come through on their services.
Also, trips booked with us include a 24 hour concierge and support service with our own team, where you’ll have access to at least two of our staff to assist with anything from booking a last minute reservation, to tips on where to eat, or even over the phone translations when you are having trouble communicating with a non-English speaker.
Some agencies will choose from a “menu” of options for your trip, and this can be done quickly, but may not always provide the necessary nuances your itinerary deserves.
That is not our case – we’ll take the necessary time to create a truly special itinerary for you, which you can use as a model for your travels, saving you hours of planning on your end, whether you book with us or not.
Just as you’d pay a planning or design fee to an interior designer, architect, or wedding planner to create something uniquely yours, a dedicated travel designer at Viare will plan a trip that’s specially made for you.
If you book with us, you’ll get the benefit of our network, rates, and peace-of-mind whilst traveling. If in the end you decide not to book your trip with us, you will still get a beautiful itinerary with lots of insider insights and a detailed day-by-day plan, and this way, everyone wins.
Our fees range from US$20–US$50/day/person for a total of up to 3 itinerary modifications, and will depend on the range of services you’d like us to plan for you and the number of people in your party.
For less complex trips, where most of your stay will be in lodges with activities included in their services, you’ll look at the lower end of the range. For trips with more individual activities and multiple flights, we will be looking at the higher range.
Since we are very conscious of how much work will be going into each itinerary, and know your time and money is valuable, we will gauge this fee responsibly, sending you a proposal for planning after our initial chat or email exchange.
Traveling to Brazil can be as safe, and as challenging, as traveling to any other country where you may not know the language or may be unfamiliar with certain customs. Brazil is a vast country, and each destination will have its own level of how safe and secure you will feel.
We will help you by educating you on where it is safe to walk in the evenings and how to take care of yourself and personal belongings, and guiding you to book tours only with accredited local guides.
Most of our clients are pleasantly surprised at how safe they feel when they arrive in Brazil, and how comfortable they feel with our many hosts spread across the country.
Unfortunately we are not equipped with legal counsel in order to assist with visa applications.
This said, we have partners who can help, and are happy to write a letter of booking confirmation in Portuguese or English for all travelers who book their trip with us and need visas to travel to Brazil.
