Explore Brazil
Spend your days bird watching, hiking, and visiting the golden lion tamarins. Help restore the world’s forests by planting your own tree. In the evening, relax with a glass of wine and fine local cuisine.
Often eclipsed by the better-known forests of the Amazon Basin, the Atlantic Forest is an equally important part of Brazil’s heritage, Rio’s source of clean water, and the planet’s biodiversity.
Each of our exclusive properties has been designed to remain authentic to their surroundings, while retaining the comforts of modern luxury.

REGUA
Only 2 hours from Rio de Janeiro, but a world away, REGUA is the gateway to the Atlantic Forest of Brazil.
Wake up to hummingbirds, tanagers, and marmosets that visit the lodge daily. You may even bump into the tapirs, which have recently returned the forest.
BEFORE YOU GO
- Passport: To enter Brazil, you will need a passport valid for 6 months after the date of entry.
- Visas: Brazil requires a visa for most travelers to enter the country. However, citizens of some countries, including the United States, Canada, Australia, and Japan, can enter Brazil without visa for a specific amount of time. In lieu of a visa, they require a valid passport or other identity document. For a full list of countries exempt from visa requirements, visit the Brazil Consulate website.
- Health Insurance Documents: Be sure to bring your insurance card and copies of any travel insurance polices you purchase for the trip.
When travelling abroad, be sure you are up to date on routine vaccinations. Additional vaccines may also be required based on where you are going, how long you are staying, what you will be doing. Check with your healthcare provider at least one month prior to departure to ensure you have all the recommended vaccinations and medications for travel to Brazil.
Also check the CDC website for the up-to-date advice on health precautions. You may be required to get vaccinated for hepatitis A, typhoid, and yellow-fever when travelling to certain parts of the country.
