Matueté Brazil

In Tupi, the word matueté means “very well done.” The term expresses the excellence of the work of this pioneering producer of tailor-made itineraries, founded by travelers who dreamed of discovering the marvels of their country, but with comfort and an infrastructure that didn’t exist at the time. The premise is to provide rare, transformative experiences that express the culture and nature of the most improbable addresses throughout Brazil – many of them closely accompanied by a local host. Another highlight is Matueté Villas, a portfolio of spectacular homes created to cater to travelers looking for a personalized stay in cinematic settings all over Brazil. The list includes such destinations as Trancoso, Angra dos Reis, Jericoacoara and a magical corner of the Serra Fluminense, where the co ee farm owned by American pop star Lenny Kravitz is located. Thus, Matueté Villas o ers a customized experience that matches with guests’ most diverse wishes, from cuisine to massages. All this following the same whimsy that led such magazines as Travel & Leisure and Condé Nast Traveller to list Matueté as a Brazil travel specialist.
