USTOA MEMBERS INSPIRE TRAVELERS TO LET THEIR ADVENTUROUS SPIRITS RUN WILD IN BRAZIL
USTOA Itinerary Finder and New Video Series in Partnership with Embratur Make Travel to Brazil Easy
NEW YORK
– October 20, 2015 – With caves, rivers, mountains and more for spelunking,
ziplining, snorkeling and hiking, Brazil’s Chapada Diamantina National Park is
a playground for adventure seekers. Travelers can experience these natural
wonders, along with the vibrant culture of Brazil, with tour operator members
of the United
States Tour Operators Association (USTOA).
Outdoor
adventurists, foodies, history buffs, art enthusiasts, culture connoisseurs and
more can find their ideal itinerary by typing Brazil
within the “Find Your Dream Vacation” section of the USTOA homepage. The
resulting options provide details on the length of trip, itineraries, dates,
and prices for a variety of trips to Brazil.
For a
sneak peek at what could be in store during a visit to Brazil, USTOA’s newest
“Living Local Traveling Global” video series created in partnership with Embratur and Adventure.com highlights the colorful landscape
of Brazil. In Chapada Diamantina National Park travelers can go ziplining off a
cliff, hike to the top of a mountain to take in the sunset, or trek through a
cave to witness a natural optical illusion as a sliver of sunlight shines
through to Poco Encantado and causes the pool of water to emit a bright, bluish
hue.
Outside
of the park, guests can meet a capoeira master for a demonstration, learn how
to make the perfect caipirinha, be introduced to the eclectic artistic influences
in Rio’s Lapa neighborhood and find regional specialties in Salvador’s Mercado
Modelo. The videos expose travelers to a variety of authentic local experiences
accessible through USTOA tour operator members.
The
videos are the most recent installment in USTOA’s Travel Together campaign, a thoughtfully curated
collection of videos and blog posts from bucket list destinations around the
globe produced in collaboration with video journalist Kelley Ferro and AFAR
Magazine.

Together videos and blog stories can be found at http://www.youtube.com/user/ustoanyc and www.ustoa.com/blog, as well as www.ustoa.com/traveltogether. Consumers can follow the
