NJP Global: Brazil
A Week of Cultural Exchange, Adventure & Giving Thanks for New Friendships
Brotas, São Paulo · Hosted at Brotas Eco Hotel Fazenda
In partnership with the Federação Paulista de Pickleball (FPP)
Join NJP Global for a week unlike any other — a journey to Brazil’s National Capital of Sport and Adventure, where your athlete will build lasting friendships with Brazilian juniors, explore a new culture and landscape, and come home with stories that go far beyond the court.
From the moment you land in São Paulo to the farewell ceremonies before your flight home, every detail is designed around connection, discovery, and adventure — all from a single all-inclusive home base.
Celebrate Thanksgiving with traditional Brazilian dishes and sit down together to give thanks for the sport that brought us all here.

Why this trip
Cultural Exchange
Every NJP athlete is paired in advance with a Brazilian FPP junior — introduced through profiles and video before departure, a buddy for the joint weekend events, a partner for the tournament, and a friendship that often continues long after.
Coaching & Court Time All Week
Two hours of daily junior instruction from NJP staff, plus open court time all day, evening coached programming, and optional private lessons.
Eco Adventures
A guided excursion every day of the training week — from whitewater rafting and zip lining to waterfalls and the brilliant night sky in the heart of Brazil's adventure capital. Every excursion is included in your trip price, and families are welcome to opt out of any activity and enjoy the resort instead.
A Trip the Whole Family Can Enjoy
One resort with all meals, excursions, courts, and instruction included — plus five pools, spa, beach tennis, and hiking trails, so there's something for everyone traveling.
