With all the stress of life right now, a rainforest retreat is something most of us need. Listen, we all need a moment to relax and return our bodies to Mother Earth. What better place to submerge yourself in nature than in Brazil, home to the world’s largest rainforest: The Amazon?

The Amazon Rainforest is often called the “Lungs Of The Earth” because of its vast ecosystem, which covers around 2.1 million square miles. The Amazon extends itself into about nine different countries but the majority of it is in Brazil.

Brazil was one of my most recent adventures, where I was completely in awe of the natural beauty. The dense canopy acted almost like a shelter for the delicate life on the forest floor. The bright colorful birds in and around the trees made me feel at peace and suddenly, I felt like I was grounded again, like I was starting to heal.

We all need to heal from something and so with that being said, I’ve compiled a list of some of the best rainforest retreats in Brazil. So please take a deep breath with me, In… And out… Let’s take a look at some of the best rainforest retreats in Brazil. If you’d like to read more about my other adventures, click here

Frequently Asked Questions

Do Americans Need A Visa To Travel To Brazil Now?
The visa situation right now is complicated. The Brazilian government announced that citizens of Canada, The United States, Japan, and Australia will soon need a formal visa to enter Brazillian territory. The E-Visa program was supposed to take effect in October of 2023, then it was pushed back to December and then to April of 2024. As of now, it is still technically visa-free for citizens of Canada, The United States, Japan, and Australia but things are expected to change.

Are These Retreats Suitable For Solo Travelers?
Yes! You do not need to travel in a group or with a partner to participate in these rainforest retreats. Solo travelers are welcome!

Should I Travel To Brazil On The Same Day My Retreat Starts?
I would recommend traveling the day before. This allows for plenty of wiggle room in case of delays or cancelations. It’s certainly not cheap to take part in any of these rainforest retreats so arriving early, even just by a day can help make sure your time away isn’t spoiled by unforeseen circumstances.

Are The Leaders English Speaking?
Yes! Of course! All the retreats on this list are offered in English and Portuguese. Some have Spanish options too if it’s needed.

Are There Special Accommodations For Those With Dietary Restrictions?
Yes! Meals are included in the cost of the retreat and you are totally welcome to select your meal options while you book! Vegan, gluten-free, and vegetarian options are available at all the retreats listed here.
