Marije Beute – founder of Exploring Brasil
The Story Behind Exploring Brasil

Rooted in Brazil, guided by experience.

I first arrived in Brazil in 2004 and spent four years living and working in Natal. I fell in love with the country — its landscapes, its people, the warmth and the energy that is unlike anywhere else in the world.

I speak Brazilian Portuguese and have travelled extensively across the country. Exploring Brasil was born from the desire to share the Brazil I know — beyond the beaches, beyond the postcards, into the heart of something truly extraordinary.
