The Brazil Trip

Jan 28, 2027 – Feb 4, 2027 · 8 days · FTLO

Overview

For the love of samba nights, colorful Pelourinho, and vibrant culture. Add iconic beaches, Bahian flavors, and lively street parties with a fun-loving crew. That’s our Brazil trip.

Brazil is one of those destinations that calls to just about everyone, whether it’s for the electric energy of Carnaval, the deep-rooted passion for soccer, or the effortlessly cool beach culture.

Our team spent months on the ground, connecting with locals and crafting an itinerary that highlights the very best of the country. They all came back saying the same thing: Brazil has an energy unlike anywhere else in the world.

Designed for solo travelers in their 20s and 30s, this small group trip to Brazil lets you experience that energy firsthand. From exploring Salvador’s rich Afro-Brazilian culture to dancing to the rhythms of samba in Rio de Janeiro to unwinding on its sun-kissed beaches, you’ll experience true Carioca culture and the depth and vibrancy that make Brazil so unforgettable.
