Travel to Brazil

Brazil: is a stable and friendly country and travel to Brazil is safe and enjoyable. The Brazilian currency is the Real (pronounces "Hay-eyes", plural) and can be exchanged in the airports, banks, and hotels in Manaus. Your Adventureer Host will meet you upon your arrival in the Manaus Airport and see to your every need throughout your trip in Brazil.
Passport: A valid passport is required for travel to Brazil. Your passport must have an expiration date of at least 6 months past your return date from your trip to Brazil. If you do not already have a valid passport, you should obtain an application and begin the process as soon as possible. Normal processing time of a passport application is approximately 6-8 weeks. You may obtain a passport application through your local post office.
Brazil Tourist Visa: We're excited to share that the visa requirements for travelers from the United States, Canada, and Australia have been delayed until April 10, 2025. This means citizens of these countries can visit Brazil without a visa until this new deadline, making it simpler and more convenient for you to plan your next adventure with us!
More Info on Visa Requirements
COVID-19 VACCINATIONS: As of May 21, 2023, Brazil has lifted all COVID-19-related entry requirements. Travelers are no longer required to present proof of vaccination or negative test results to enter the country. For the most current information on travel requirements and health guidelines, we recommend checking official sources or contacting us directly.

Air Travel: When flying internationally, we recommend that you arrive at the departure airport at least 3-4 hours prior to your scheduled international departure to Manaus in order to have ample time to process your tickets and check your bags.

Please reconfirm your international flight times because they are subject to change without notice!

Our Recommendation

We recommend that you personally check that your bags have been transferred to your connecting flight to Brazil, this can be done online and at the gate 30-min prior to boarding. On occasion, bags that were checked all the way through were late to arrive and customers have been forced to spend the week without their personal baggage.

Travel Tips & Essentials
for Your Amazon Adventure

You will need to gather your baggage, clear customs, etc. Amazon Xtreme Fishing provides the usage of conventional tackle packages, including bait casting and spinning rods, at no charge to you. This will save considerable time at Customs! If needed, we recommend reserving the night's stay at a hotel in the US arrival city and flying home early the next morning if desired. (Our travel affiliate will be happy to assist you with this should you desire.)

Inoculations: We advise that you consult your physician or local Health Department's Travel Clinic and follow their recommendations.
Climate: Manaus, Brazil is located 200 miles south of the equator. The daylight remains at a constant 12 hours per day with sunrise and sunset at 6 AM and 6 PM, respectively. The temperature ranges from 60-80 degrees at night to 70-95 degrees during the day. Although you will be fishing tributaries of the Amazon River during the "dry season", rain showers are common and some can even last for a full day or more. Be prepared for weather conditions from hot and dry to wet and windy.

Essential travel tips for Amazon fishing trips

Returning Home from Brazil

We strongly recommend that guests schedule their connecting flights home at least three hours after landing in the United States following your return flight from Manaus. This timeframe ensures you have sufficient time to navigate through Immigration and Customs clearance processes, retrieve your checked baggage, and reach your connecting terminal without feeling rushed. Allowing this buffer also accounts for potential delays in international flights or unexpected wait times, ensuring a smoother and more stress-free transition to your final destination.

This built-in satellite functionality can be particularly useful during your Amazon adventure.
