Real Gap's Brazil Highlights


The city of Rio de Janeiro
A beautiful location, well known for it's pituresque beaches, carnivals and costal mountain scenery. Our Teach English in Brazil Project gives volunteers the opportunity to give something back to the disadvantaged communities in Brazil, whilst you experience life in a truely stunning city.

Instead you may wish to work on the Brazil Youth Outreach project in a day centre in the Pavão-Pavãozinho favelas of Rio de Janeiro, committed to providing health and education to local impoverished families

If you plan to volunteer in Brazil but you are not confident about your language skills, we recommend you to take classes at our Portuguese Language School. You will be surprised how quickly you learn to speak Portuguese!

Map of Brazil


Paraguay River Basin
The Pantanal is the world's largest and one of the most spectacular freshwater wetland. It is a huge, landlocked river delta that floods annually forming the habitat for an abundance of life. The Pantanal is the world's largest and one of the most spectacular freshwater wetland, located in the upper Paraguay River basin and straddling the border with Paraguay and Bolivia.

As a volunteer on the Brazil Pantanal Research and Conservation Project, you will witness first hand the amazing productivity of the Pantanal and the stunning concentration of wildlife that inhabit it.

Sao Paulo
Is the industrial heart of Brazil, it posseses many fine beaches and cultural attractions; museums and also the famous snake farm, on the outskirts are caves and hill resorts to explore.
