Operators

Auroraeco

Auroraeco advocates a simple proposition: to get away from the large urban centers, the beaten tourist spots and mass travel arrangements. Think of Auroraeco as a community of artisans ready to create the ideal trip for each person or group.

When it comes to Brazil, Auroraeco is an expert. Since 1999, we have gathered an incomparable amount of knowledge about local destinations. Auroraeco is equipped to offer you the perfect custom-made itinerary. Travel to Brazil and get to know a land of endless natural beauty and cultural mixture.

We strive to find the hidden gems in each destination in order to provide you a memorable experience, defined by its originality, great comfort and deep attention to detail. Service excellence is not Auroraeco’s goal; it is merely a starting point.

We carry out a rigorous screening process to make sure that we work only with people and companies that respect the environment, people and our culture. In addition, we carry out social projects such as the annual donation of books and funds for the Almerinda Malaquias Foundation, in Novo Airão.

Matueté

Our specialty is to cater for the luxury traveler who wants to go beyond the ordinary and explore our country beyond the stereotypes.   Matueté can provide expert, unbiased advice on the best hotels as well as the  best logistics to travel across the country.  But we see our role as much broader.  We provide you with exclusive experiences such as yacht charters to explore the Amazon, open special doors to art collections, rent villas on the beach, plan a birthday celebration in Rio and a lot more. Since 2002, we have been working with the World’s best Travel Advisors to produce trips that could never be bought over the internet.

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!

Our network of Brazilian guides comes from diverse backgrounds, therefore we are always working on the perfect match between the client interests and our staff, making sure that the traveller will feel the country authenticity.

Even on the standard city tours, which includes all the attractions that can not be missed, we always add some extra details and surprises as special visits to private ateliers, workshops with famous musicians, artists and chefs, a close contact with the local community, romantic intimate dinners and much more.

And, of course, the best way to do so is preserving every cultural and natural resource, and enjoying them with safety and comfort.

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.
