Custom
Tour with Private Guide
Brazil
Explorer: The journey includes a professional guide throughout. On
most occasions it will be John Carter, owner of Brazilian
Adventure Travel.
John is a rancher and explorer, but he is also a
conservationist. John has worked tirelessly to encourage
the ranching community to abide by existing laws that
benefit conservation. John’s personal ranch, Fazenda
Esperanca, is documented to have the highest concentration
of wildlife (including Jaguar and other cats) of any
Amazon property. John has also worked with the Bureau of
Indian Affairs to develop opportunities for guests to
witness and participate in the culture of the local Indian
tribes. If guests would like, John can arrange for an
overnight stay with one or more local villages; families
are welcome. Due to the cost of the charter flights it is
most economical in groups of 4, however John will
personally escort even a single pair of guests who want to
immerse themselves into this cultural excursion.
Adventures like this are best discussed over the telephone
and not via email. If you want more information on this
incredible experience please contact us personally at
