Choosing a travel company by looking at a website can be tough. We hope this will help you decide whether Matueté is right for you. We are widely recognized by leading industry specialists as the best Brazilian luxury travel company. In operation since 2002, we employ a team of very well qualified professionals, based out of Sao Paulo with operations all over Brazil.

Our approach to Luxury Travel: Luxury travel has changed tremendously in the last 30 years. Whereas in the past, luxury was synonymous with ´expensive´, nowadays luxury is much more related with what is ‘rare’. We therefore specialize in taking our travelers beyond the traditional mass tourism circuit, and expose them to once-in-a-lifetime experiences, rather than simply helping them choose the right hotel and booking standard sight seeing tours.
