Caio’s camp in Brazil is one of the best vacations we have ever had. My wife and I have already done 3 camps in a row, and we are planning to come back for the 4th one -- this time with (adult) kids. The funny part is that my wife does not even train jiu-jitsu, but she loves the camp too.

For jiu-jitsu, it is the best. You train 2–3 times a day with Caio, Grandmaster Paulo Strauch, and many other black belts. It is hard to explain, but it is a very special experience.

Food is another level: Michelin-star quality, unlimited, and some of the best food we have had anywhere.

Sightseeing is also not like a normal tourist trip. It feels like VIP access — no lines, no stress, and you get to visit places that would be almost impossible to see as a regular tourist.

Also, Caio always says you will make new friends. I was skeptical, but he was right. We made friends at the camp, and now we meet each other even outside of camp.

The best way I can describe it: Caio’s camp is like an all-inclusive vacation on steroids -- but with amazing people, incredible training, and memories that stay with you

Big thank you to Caio, Leandro, and the whole team for everything they do for us and our family.

When my girlfriend first told me we were gonna go to Brazil I didn’t know what to think but I was excited. I knew we would be doing jiu jitsu with the legendary Caio Terra, we’d be exploring Rio, and getting to know the culture. What I didn’t know is that I would be going on an epic adventure and making friends who would become as special to me as any of the other friends in my life. Little did I know that we would end up going on this trip every time it was available form Then on and essentially be planning our lives so we wouldn’t miss it! Yes, the food is amazing. Yes, the training is awesome. Yes, the exploration is unlike any other we’ve ever seen before. Brazil certainly is a special place but the heart and soul of the culture, and the people there are what makes this trip such an unforgettable experience.

The Rio camp experience is a grappler’s adventure vacation. Obviously killer instruction, but each day is different from beaches, city activities, jungle experiences, and training at different academies. All the planning is worked out for you, so you don’t have to navigate the nuances of Rio. The food is tippy top but the friends you will make just might be highlight you will walk with.

Last year I traveled to Rio for a BJJ camp, and it turned out to be one of the most incredible experiences I’ve ever had. From the moment I arrived, everything was handled with true white-glove service, making the entire trip completely stress-free. The training was world-class, but what really blew me away was the full cultural immersion. The food alone was unforgettable — steak with flavors I genuinely didn’t know existed, and the freshest açaí I’ve ever had, available all day long. Every single day brought something amazing. Huge thanks to Caio Terra for putting together an all-inclusive experience that let me focus entirely on training and soaking in the real Rio. If you’re a BJJ practitioner looking to level up your game while experiencing Brazil the right way, this is it. I’ll definitely be coming back.

I have attended Caio Terra's Rio Camps three times now, and each trip has been nothing short of extraordinary. If you're on the fence, let me make it easy for you: go.

Caio goes way out of his way to accommodate every single person in the group. The schedule is packed with incredible experiences — hiking to stunning waterfalls, eating some of the best sushi I've ever had in my life, training with social projects in the favelas (a truly humbling and perspective-shifting experience), and of course visiting Cristo Redentor, which never gets old no matter how many times you see it. On one unforgettable trip to Ilha Grande, my now-husband proposed to me at the church on the island. None of it would have been possible without Caio and his incredible security, Leandro, who quietly made the whole thing happen behind the scenes. I still get emotional thinking about it.

But beyond the activities and the jaw-dropping scenery, what makes these camps truly special is the people. You become part of a once-in-a-lifetime tribe — a group of travelers, adventurers, and jiu-jitsu lovers who all share a passion for new cultures and authentic experiences. That community feeling is rare, and Caio cultivates it effortlessly. If you love jiu-jitsu, travel, and real human connection, don't overthink it. Book the camp. You'll come home changed — and probably already planning your next trip.

Caio camps are the best. Caio catered to everyone on and off the mats, this includes catering to dietary requirements. He sorts everything from arrival to departure. Training is awesome, people are awesome and the itinerary that Caio makes is always fun. Every flag is welcome at Caios and all ages, 100% recommend!!
