Quiénes somos

2004 - Passion Brazil was born, bringing to life a dream of sharing the wonders of Brazil with the French market at first, then expanding to the world. Based in Rio de Janeiro, with a branch office in Paris led by our founder, Mariana Rosa, the company set out to craft authentic, bespoke travel experiences that celebrate Brazil’s vibrant culture, stunning landscapes, and warm hospitality.

2007 - Our journey took an important step forward with Cédric Wavelet joining as an associate partner (of French origin). His expertise and background has improved our internal organization, enhanced our administrative and financial process, and developed our technological strategies.

2018 - We expanded our horizons with the launch of Passion Collection, our luxury DMC brand. This new chapter was marked by recognition within the high-end travel industry, joining esteemed associations such as Serandipians, Pure, and Xodós by BLTA, solidifying our place among the best in bespoke luxury travel.

2020 - When the world paused, we focused our team’s energy on reimagining possibilities and launched a new division: a Brazil-specialist tour operator dedicated to supporting Brazilian travel agencies. Our goal was to inspire travelers to (re)discover the beauty of their own country, offering tailored experiences that adapted to the moment while staying true to our mission of inspiring journeys.

2021 - Through our brand Passion Collection for luxury travelers, we embraced another milestone by opening a new destination: France.

2024 - We celebrated 20 years of Passion Brazil, as a reflection of our incredible journey of growth, resilience, and innovation. Click here to see video of our celebration!
