Umacanoa

The perfect size allows umacanoa to go further, reaching places larger “vessels” can’t, leaving only positive impacts in its wake. With a team of two, this tour operator takes curation seriously, working exclusively with deeply known partners and deliberately limiting the number of trips to ensure each journey is unique and transformative. This level of dedication results in a service that consistently exceeds expectations from start to finish. A proud Brazilian entity, umacanoa (Portuguese for “a canoe”) is passionate about its country and people, continually discovering new destinations and offering fresh perspectives on familiar experiences. As Guimarães Rosa wrote, “each one paddles alone a canoe that navigates a different river.” Like the writer’s words, no trip with umacanoa is the same. Each itinerary is unique and meticulously tailored. In addition, all trips are carbon-neutral and contribute to social and environmental initiatives in Brazil – essential criteria for those who genuinely want to do their part for a better planet.
