Brazil
Passion and energy pump through the veins of Brazil, the largest and most populous country in Latin America. It boasts a diverse and incredibly rich culture, the world’s largest tropical rainforest, vast stretches of world-renowned beaches, breathtaking mountain scenery and an unmatched abundance of wildlife.



Travel in Brazil with i-to-i and you will gain a unique insight into this spectacular country: you’ll live in locally-owned accommodation, work alongside local community groups and gain access to a world that backpackers and package tourists never get to see. We have a whole host of opportunities for volunteering in Brazil, including conservation, community work and teaching English in Brazil.
If you’re thinking of volunteering in Brazil for part of your gap year in Brazil, we can help you plan your trip and gain useful experience by working with volunteer projects across the country. Find out more in our volunteer Brazil section.
