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.
Travel 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 adventures on Twitter by using #traveltogether, Instagram, and by joining Facebook chats at www.facebook.com/USTouroperatorsAssoc.
Videos and blogs about new destinations visited with USTOA tour operator members will be added monthly as part of the Travel Together campaign.
