Brazilian Amazon

The lungs of our planet, the Brazilian Amazon teems with life. From dense canopies to winding rivers, this region is home to indigenous cultures, natural beauty, and fascinating biodiversity. Blue Parallel guests can travel to their luxurious jungle eco-lodge by hydroplane, passing over the intriguing Meeting of the Waters, a natural phenomenon that sees the black waters of the Rio Negro and the brown waters of the Solimões River converge and run together for miles without mixing until they finally merge to form the great Amazon River. Exploring the Amazonian jungle with Blue Parallel can include paddling a canoe along the river, hiking across the jungle floor with an expert guide, and embarking on private boat tours to spot wildlife. Other highlights include visiting a sanctuary for pink dolphins, embarking on a nocturnal wildlife tour to look for caiman and visiting a local caboclo community.

The Galapagos Islands

The Galapagos Islands, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, have the most diversity of living creatures in the world. Famed for this incredible biodiversity, as well as Charles Darwin’s groundbreaking research, the Galapagos offer a glimpse into untouched ecosystems where sea lions, giant tortoises, blue-footed boobies, and so much more roam freely. The Galapagos can be enjoyed from a base either on the land or sea. Blue Parallel will select the perfect option depending on travel preferences, from 40 passenger shared vessels and 16 passenger privately chartered yachts, to modern eco-lodges and luxurious glamping tents. Highlights include a private aerial sightseeing tour, private scuba diving excursions, an exciting hiking excursion to a flamingo lagoon and tortoise breeding site, snorkeling with sea lions, and visiting a penguin colony.

Brazilian Pantanal

This journey typically begins in Rio and continues by private air to the Pantanal region, a sprawling, biodiverse wetland paradise and UNESCO World Heritage site renowned for its rich wildlife – including more than 400 fish, 1,700 plants, 80 mammals, more than 1,100 butterfly and 656 bird species – and extensive array of ecosystems. Blue Parallel guests can enjoy photo safaris, guided walking tours, nature canoe rides, and access to the best guides and biologists specializing in jaguars and macaws. The Pantanal’s abundant aquatic environments provide conditions for profusion of aquatic fauna, formed by enormous concentrations of snails, crustaceans, amphibians and fish. These in turn attract progressively larger predators, such as birds, reptiles and mammals, in a mega-diverse food chain which constitutes the largest concentration of wildlife in the Americas. Guests will stay at a luxury eco-lodge located deep within the tropical wetland and boasting 18 rooms immersed in the surrounding nature.
