Rio de Janeiro Adventure Trips

Our tour leader Blanca was just amazing, her professionalism, knowledge and passion for her country was infectious and be the end of the tour left us wanting to see more of both Argentina, Brasil and South America as a whole. Local guides were knowledgeable too. This trip has a bit of everything - Cities, jungle, beach and wonderful nature - the Iguazu falls are just breathtaking and a must. The itinerary was as described, moderate and allowed for free time and flexibility which is much appreciated. This was my first time with Explore but will definitely go again.

Thank you Explore for a truly wonderful holiday and adventure…my first of many more I hope. Our excellent tour leader, Blanca who managed the group and itinerary in a friendly and expert manner- thank you. I couldn’t help falling in love a little with William who guided us through Iguazu. ❤️ So the highlights were many and apart from the two expected ones, Iguazu and Rio (which were brilliant of course) I was enchanted by Paraty and Ile Grande which I’d heard very little about before the trip. Buenos Aires is fabulous… bright, colourful, alive with vibrant life and culture- loved it. The pace of the trip is just right, lots to do and many options as well as time to do your own thing at leisure. Check out the electric adapters that are required. I was missing one in Rio but thankfully the hotel had some spares. Book this trip it’s super!!

Great trip with excellent itinerary full of contrasts; from large bustling cities to quiet remote islands, to quaint colonial towns; and of course the incredible Iguazú falls; not to mention finishing in sizzling Rio de Janeiro. Our tour guide Blanca was wonderful - fun, informative whilst smoothly handling all the logistics. The local guides on this trip particularly William for iguazu are also worth mentioning for their humour, warmth and professionalism. Overall, a great, easy going, fun trip that the entire group, all thoroughly enjoyed!

I was thrilled with my first G adventure tour and it won?t be my last! Joyce, our tour guide was excellent, always professional but balanced with a fun, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and lively approach to everything! Many great memories made on this tour, thank you!

Wonderful tour from Chile to the Andes to IguazAº and beyond. Lots of amazing natural beauty and interesting history. This was my third G Adventures trip and I have several more planned!

Excellent, well organized short trip taking in Iguazu Falls, Paraty and Ilha Grande as well as Bs As and Rio. Would suggest a little longer in Rio. Leader was well informed and experienced so added to enjoyment.
