Why Choose Eco-Tourism Hotels in Brazil?
Brazil is home to six unique biomes — Amazon, Cerrado, Atlantic Forest, Caatinga, Pantanal, and Pampas — each offering breathtaking landscapes and unforgettable experiences. Choosing eco-tourism hotels means:
- Contributing to environmental preservation
- Supporting local communities
- Experiencing authentic cultural encounters
- Having direct contact with Brazil’s incredible biodiversity
According to the Ministry of Tourism, eco-tourism is one of the fastest-growing segments in the country, with annual growth of around 15% in demand from both domestic and international travelers.
