Our Story
"Our handcrafted journeys are full of emotions, to inspire you and provide a lifetime experience in Brazil or in France."Mariana was born in São Paulo and then lived in different parts of the world for studies or work: Boston, Buenos Aires, Madrid, London, Paris. She studied hotel management and started her career as a sales executive for the best hotel resort in the nineties, located on a private island in Bahia. In 2001, she moved to Paris, willing to share her culture with the French people, so she started to represent Brazilian products in the travel industry.
These years were essentials to forge Mariana style: highly committed, efficient, detail-oriented and permanent search for improvement - thanks to her European experiences. At the same time: creative, flexible and dynamic - thanks to her Brazilian identity!
From Passion Brazil….
In 2004, Mariana created Passion Brazil, a DMC specialized in tailor-made holidays for individual travelers and groups.
Luxury tour operators and incentive travel companies started working with us, thanks to our original products and highly customized offers. They were constantly looking for more unique and innovative tours around Brazil.
Relying on the needs and expectations of our discerning VIP clients, we decided to create a new company, specialized in unique and emotional travel experiences.
...to Passion Collection
Passion Collection was born from the growing demand of clients searching for authentic experiences, not classic excursions; eager to interact with people and participate in these activities, not only observe them.
Our DNA carries Brazilian and French roots and is strongly influenced by the European way of working: high commitment, detail-oriented, constant quest for perfection; keeping as well our Brazilian identity through creativity, flexibility, enthusiasm and dynamism.
Our product team works constantly to increase our portfolio with unique products and the most exclusive experiences. We have a vast choice of properties, from leading brand hotels to hidden gems. We travel around the countries to explore secret places and get a first-hand experience of the products because we want to ensure each of them is unquestionably outstanding.
Our team of travel designers is highly trained to deal with the most demanding clients, looking for a more in-depth experience of Brazil and France. They make sure their time away from daily life is perfect, creating inspirational trips and building private journeys around their needs and preferences, likes and dislikes, and surprising them along the way.
