Introduction to the adventure trip from Peru to Brazil

Peru – a country with ancient cultures, where the traditional way of life of the indigenous population has remained preserved in many places. The contrasting landscapes invite visitors to explore the coast, the highlands, and the jungle. Whether on an adventure trip through Peru or a cultural journey to Peru, there are countless opportunities to discover the highlights of the country. In addition to the "lost city of the Incas," Machu Picchu, and the impressive Inca ruins around Cusco, Peru offers countless cultural and scenic highlights with the famous Nazca Lines, Lake Titicaca, the Colca Canyon, and the archaeological north of the country. A South American adventure trip through Peru takes travelers directly to the treasures of this unique country. Brazil – A vast country full of superlatives. Brazil is about as large as Europe and occupies half of the South American continent. The climate varies from the always hot tropical north through all subtropical variations to the temperate south. Since the 16th century, Brazil has exerted a magical fascination on foreigners. Today, it is mainly the adventures in the Amazon and the impressive diversity that attract visitors. Brazil is a paradise for nature and cultural journeys, which impresses not only with its beautiful landscapes but also with its vibrant culture. A South American adventure trip in Brazil combines experiences like a safari in the Pantanal or a jungle expedition with the fiery rhythms and the exotic nature of this fascinating country.
