Apartment in Acre

Acre is a sparsely populated border region shaped by rainforest in the far west of Brazil. That is exactly what makes it interesting: it feels different from many classic Brazil destinations because rivers, forest scenery, and its border location define the travel experience. If, for a family trip, you are looking for nature, peace, and a clear starting point, it is worth getting to know Acre as a destination at a relaxed pace.

For you, that means above all: the fewer changes of location and the clearer the base, the more relaxed Acre can be experienced with children or in a small group.
