Courier spoke with Terra Nova Turismo’s Junior Ribeiro about the company’s offerings that hit the highlights of South America’s largest country.
Courier: Why is your company a great one for North American groups to work with?
Ribeiro: We have 49 years of experience organizing special interest tours in Brazil for clients from all over the world, which allows us to offer memorable customer experiences.
Courier: What are some things that make Brazil such a great destination?
Ribeiro: Brazil’s stunning natural beauty, diverse landscape, warm people and endless golden beaches are top reasons to explore this enchanting country.
Courier: Are there any recent trends that are impacting your company’s tours?
Ribeiro: Sustainable tourism is on the rise. It goes without saying that one of the memorable things about Brazil is the abundant outdoor beauty, and the Brazilian government is taking measures to protect its natural resources by collaborating with tourism service providers to create more sustainable practices.
A shining example of an eco-friendly project is the Uakari Floating Lodge in the Amazon rain forest. They employ biologists and local residents to serve as nature guides and to help preserve nature and culture.
Courier: How does your company highlight sustainable tourism?
Ribeiro: We have a bunch of options within our itineraries. Our tours go throughout Brazil, and the most popular ones feature the Amazon and ecolodges. Another one I like is our Cocoa Farm Experience in the northeast region where travelers can “work” at a farm. That is a one-of-a-kind thing, as it puts people right there helping the locals and experiencing the real Brazil.
