Gap Year in Brazil

A gap year in Brazil is a excellent place to experience life in South America on your year out. A gap year travel to Brazil is particularly popular with travellers wanting to explore the Amazon jungle. However, if jungle isn't for you, you could spend your gap year in action-packed Rio de Janeiro – which enjoys a beautiful position between golden beaches and dramatic mountains. If your gap year in Brazil coincides with the Friday before Shrove Tuesday you’ll also be able to party for five days at the world famous Rio carnival!

Gap Year in Brazil

To the gap year or career break traveller Brazil conjures up a tropical paradise with its unexplored rainforest, expansive rivers and islands with pristine beaches. Added to this the people of Brazil are friendly, vibrant and colourful. Almost mythical in its passionate carnivals and eerie rainforests, Brazil is an incredible destination at which to spend your year out.

A particularly rewarding Brazil gap year option is to do some volunteer work. Real Gap has several extremely worthwhile Brazil volunteer programmes all of which also give you the opportunity to learn a language (Portuguese in Brazil).

Tip... our sports programmes offer an alternative adventure in Brazil, you don't even have to be super sporty to take part!
