Brazil Photography Tour Switzerland
Brazil is one of the most colourful, happy, and friendly countries in the world. This continental country has an incredibly diverse array of things to see. From paradise beaches with white sand, palm trees, and tons of birds to the diversity of people, handcraft markets, exotic and tasty fruits, and very special cuisine. This trip is a therapy for the soul, a spa for the eyes, and a unique opportunity for your lens.
Location
Where do we go?
We’ll fly into and out of the city of PORTO SEGURO, in the state of Bahia.
From Porto Seguro airport, our driver will bring us in a big, air-conditioned van to Caraíva. The road trip will be around 2 hours of driving and 30 minutes on a ferryboat. When we reach Caraíva, we must cross the river in a canoe; this takes only about 5 minutes. Then we reach paradise.
Enjoy the remarkable hospitality of the locals on one of the most beautiful beaches of this tropical country: CARAÍVA. The streets of Caraiva are made of sand. No cars are allowed. The main transportation is by foot, boat or buggy. For heavy stuff, a cart with a donkey can help you.
“Nothing can quite prepare you for the views in this part of Brazil. Caraíva Village, with almost 500 years of history and 700 inhabitants, is the most charming beach on the Discovery Coast. Visitors are trapped in time without wanting to leave this paradise bathed by the waters of the Caraíva River and the gentle waves of the Atlantic Ocean.”
Brazilians like to become fast friends, so prepare for many hugs and invitations for a little coffee! And to practice a wide range of photographic techniques with your professional photographer and guide.
The program covers unforgettable sunrises, astonishing sunsets, boat trips, and visiting the indigenous reserve, learning about their culture, art, music, food, and costumes. Visit one of the most beautiful beaches around the globe, swim at natural swimming pools, and photograph the fishermen and the abundance of fauna and flora.
This trip will be led by Fabiana Nunes, a Brazil native (based in Zurich) who speaks English, Spanish, and a bit of German.

Fabiana Nunes
Fabiana NunesI am a Brazilian photographer with an undergraduate degree in Fashion from the Federal University of State of Minas Gerais and a graduate degree in Designer and Culture from the University FUMEC. I lived in New York City where I studied photography at the School of Visual Arts moving subsequently to Barcelona. I now reside in Zurich.
During my last 13 years I changed the direction of my path as a photographer. Photography has always been my passion, my therapy, my joy to wake up at sunrise and my most fulfilling experience. I see the world through the frames of the camera and beauty in every corner what makes me year after year feel the need to go deeper into this art.
