Experience Brazil beyond the obvious
Brazil is a country people think they know. Carnival, football, beaches, the Amazon and samba are all part of Brazil — but they are only the beginning.
Bravietour creates experiences for curious travelers who want to go beyond the surface. Through carefully curated places, people and stories, we help our guests discover Brazil through its culture, history, nature, food, music and everyday life.
We don't just show Brazil. We help you see what others don't.

From sightseeing to understanding
Bravietour is a boutique experience company and DMC founded in Rio de Janeiro in 2006.
We believe the most memorable journeys don't simply take you somewhere new — they help you understand it differently.
A football club can reveal stories about identity and society. A samba school can open a window into community, creativity and year-round craftsmanship. A market can tell the story of migration through food. A rainforest inside a metropolis can change the way we think about cities and nature.
That's why we design experiences around stories, people and questions — not simply lists of attractions.
Brazilian at our core and international in perspective, we combine deep local knowledge with an understanding of travelers from different cultures.
What we believe?
Travel should create value for both the traveler and the places they visit.
That means working with locally rooted guides, independent businesses, cultural practitioners and community partners; paying fairly for people's knowledge and time; and treating local culture and nature with respect.
Local people are partners, not props.
Our aim is to create experiences where travelers leave with a deeper understanding of Brazil, while more of the value generated by tourism stays within the places and communities that make those experiences possible.

Who's behind Bravietour Incoming?

Rodrigo Braz Vieira
Rodrigo Braz Vieira — Founder
Bravietour was founded in Rio de Janeiro in 2006 by Rodrigo Braz Vieira, a Brazilian tourism professional, guide, international tour leader and TV producer whose career in tourism began in 2002.
Over the years, Rodrigo has guided and coordinated journeys throughout Brazil and Latin America, worked with international tour operators and travelers from many different cultures, and supported television, documentary and media productions in both Brazil and Europe.
Working in television and documentary production has also shaped the way he approaches travel: looking beyond what is immediately visible, finding the people behind the story, asking the right questions and turning places into meaningful narratives.
His international experience and multilingual background have helped shape Bravietour's approach today: deeply Brazilian in its local knowledge, but international in the way it communicates, designs and interprets experiences.
For Rodrigo, the purpose of Bravietour goes beyond showing visitors the highlights of Brazil. It is about creating the context, encounters and experiences that allow travelers to understand the country from different perspectives.
