Muito obrigado to the countless Brazilians who
generously shared their smiles, thumbs‑up and
local knowledge of Brazil—from Maira, Alex and
family in Minas to Angela and Margarida in Rio
state, and others too numerous to name. Back
in Vermont, big muriqui‑style abraços to Mei‑
gan and Chloe for keeping me happy, helping
725
me research and embracing life on the road
with me, and to Gaen, who always makes
coming home the best part of the trip.
Bridget Gleeson
Anna Kaminski
I would like to thank MaSovaida for entrusting
me with this chapter, my fellow scribes Kevin,
Paul and Regis for advice while on the road
and everyone who’s helped me along the way.
In particular, Joel for his wonderful hospitality
and assistance in Cuiaba, Gil and Luis for all
their hard work and help in Campo Grande,
Corumbá and Bonito, Bonifacio for guiding
me on the Transpantaneira, Maria and Vini‑
cius in Bonito and Douglas and Vitoria at the

Anna Kaminski
Mato Grosso & Mato Grosso do Sul Anna has been traveling extensively
around Latin America for the last 15 years, ever since she’d begun majoring
in the turbulent history of the continent at university, and in Brazil for over
a decade, drawn by the sheer diversity of the country, the lust for life of its
people and the rodizios at their churrascaria restaurants. Having previously
gone in search of big cats in various parts of the Amazon, she finds that the
Pantanal trumps the lot: on this visit alone she had three jaguar sightings. Anna tweets at @
ACKaminski.
Kevin Raub
São Paulo State, Paraná, Santa Catarina, Rio Grande do Sul, Brasília &
Goiás, Pernambuco, Paraíba & Rio Grande do Norte, Ceará, Piauí & Maran­
hão Kevin grew up in Atlanta and started his career as a music journalist
in New York, working for Men’s Journal and Rolling Stone magazines. He
ditched the rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle for travel writing and moved to Brazil, where
he has now traversed 21 of 26 Brazilian states in pursuit of caipi­rinha bliss.
He was also LP’s man on the ground for the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil. This is Kevin’s 35th
Lonely Planet guide. Follow him on Twitter (@RaubOnTheRoad).
OUR STORY
A beat‑up old car, a few dollars in the pocket and a sense of
adventure. In 1972 that’s all Tony and Maureen Wheeler needed
for the trip of a lifetime – across Europe and Asia overland to
Australia. It took several months, and at the end – broke but
inspired – they sat at their kitchen table writing and stapling
together their first travel guide, Across Asia on the Cheap.
Within a week they’d sold 1500 copies. Lonely Planet was born.
Today, Lonely Planet has offices in Franklin, London,
Melbourne, Oakland, Beijing and Delhi, with more than 600 staff and writers. We share Tony’s belief
that ‘a great guidebook should do three things: inform, educate and amuse’.
OUR WRITERS
Regis St Louis
Rio de Janeiro City Regis first visited Brazil back in 2003, and he fell hard for Rio
de Janeiro: its stunning landscapes, dynamic music scene, and the open and
celebratory spirit of the cariocas. Since then he’s traveled all across the country,
celebrating Carnaval in Bahia, Ouro Preto and Rio, watching wildlife in the Pan­
tanal, hunting for the perfect beach in Santa Catarina and traveling the length
of the Brazilian Amazon. His writing has appeared in the Chicago Tribune, the
Telegraph, on BBC.com and elsewhere. He is also the coordinating author of Lonely Planet’s Rio
de Janeiro guide and South America on a Shoestring. He splits his time between New Orleans and
the tropics. Regis also wrote the Plan Your Trip, Understand and Survival chapters.
Gary Chandler
The Amazon Gary has traveled and written about Latin America for two decades.
He has contributed to over twenty guidebooks to the region, including El Salva­
dor, Honduras, Mexico, and Guatemala. He first covered the Amazon for Lonely
Planet in 2004—this assignment marks his fifth time back. Gary was raised in a
small California ski town, attended UC Berkeley and Columbia University, and
now lives with his wife and fellow travel writer, Liza Prado, and their two children
in Denver, Colorado.
Gregor Clark
Rio de Janeiro State, Minas Gerais & Espírito Santo Gregor’s love of all things
Brazilian began with his first Portuguese class at age 19. In a quarter century of
Brazilian travel, he’s visited virtually every state from the Amazon to the Uru­
guayan border. Highlights of this research trip include spotting wolves and mon­
keys with his two teenage daughters, climbing Papagaio and Mamanguá peaks,
and writing by firelight on chilly Visconde de Mauá evenings. Gregor contributes
regularly to Lonely Planet’s European and Latin American titles. He lives in Vermont (USA).
Bridget Gleeson
Bahia, Sergipe & Alagoas Based in Buenos Aires, Bridget is a travel writer and
occasional photographer. She’s traveled all over South America for work and for
pleasure, but Bahia is still one of her favorite places on the continent. This was
her third time covering the region for Lonely Planet.
