Operators
In an enormous country with as much to offer as Brazil, planning by top luxury operators is a real difference-maker in maximising a visit. These professionals work in constant contact with local experts to get the most out of each day.
Its said "no-one visits Brazil just once", and for this reason our luxury segment operators treat every stay as part of building a long-term relationship.

Passion Collection
Passion Collection is a boutique DMC, born from the belief that luxury goes far beyond just a sense of exclusivity. A lifestyle company seeking to disconnect travelers from the day-to-day life and modern world.
Our focus is to offer authentic Brazilian experiences and personal interactions, not just a touristic attraction or basic visits. Clients are different from each other and have their own habits, style, interests and passions, so we design each itinerary according to their profile. We specialize in creating inspirational trips, building private journeys around their needs and preferences, likes and dislikes, surprising them along the way.
Passion Collection unravels Brazil’s grandiosity and offers a more in-depth experience from the rich rainforest to charming colonial towns, from adventurous activities to unwinding on pristine beaches, from golden dunes to wetlands filled with exciting wildlife.
We want to inspire you to create memorable journeys full of emotions!

umacanoa
umacanoa, which literally translates to "a canoe," embodies our belief that having the right size enables us to venture further, reaching places beyond the grasp of larger vessels, while minimizing our impact, leaving only positive ones. As a boutique, owner-operated DMC, we take the concept of "curatorship" seriously, selectively collaborating only with partners whom we have personally vetted and experienced. Conversely, our modest scale also dictates that we cannot accommodate every trip request. However, this is not merely a limitation; it's a commitment to ensuring that each journey we undertake receives our undivided attention and dedication, guaranteeing personalized and exceptional service from beginning to end.
At umacanoa we are from Brazil, passionate about our country and its people, and we believe in showcasing our country in all the right ways. Fuelled by our restless spirit, we never stop exploring, uncovering new destinations, and infusing fresh perspectives into well-known experiences.
Transparency is at the core of our ethos. We operate with full disclosure of costs at every stage, fostering trust and accountability. Moreover, we believe in shaping a better country (and consequently a better world): all our trips are carbon-neutral, a non-negotiable standard, and contribute to supporting social or environmental initiatives in Brazil.
umacanoa is the real Brazil, inside out.
