Viare Travel

We focus all of our booking efforts on local providers - locally owned accommodations, activity providers, even car rental companies. We also attempt to curate our activities to have clients visit and support traditional communities (indigenous, quilombola, ribeirinha, etc.), and encourage them to purchase souvenirs, crafts, and experiences with these communities.

We have signed a Wildlife friendly pledge with World Animal Protection, and work to provide activities that do not disrupt wildlife, and encourage activities with organizations that provide wildlife protection, especially in regions such as the Pantanal and Amazon. Up until early 2020, we also contributed a small percentage of all flights sold, to conservation projects in the Amazon. Since the pandemic, we have since stopped contributing, but plan on continuing once we get more consistent flight sales.

We encourage travel to and activities with traditional communities, promote activities that involve music, food and history in a responsible manner - with local guides versed in the topics, and who do not play in to certain negative or derogatory stereotypes. We encourage travelers to respect cultural differences, and send them material prior to their trips to clear up and teach them a bit about what to expect once in Brazil. Viare Travel hasalso recently published a book that plays on cultural and food traditions, and this book will be a "thank you for booking" gift for all travelers who purchase trips with us above a certain monetary threshold.
