Rio de Janeiro Tours in March 2026

Highlights were definately Iguassu Falls and Illa Grande. Swimming in the beautiful warm clear sea, tearing around in speed boats, taking the boat under the falls - so much fun. Really good company with like minded travellers.

This was my 5th time with Expat and all I can say is ""Wow"". The journey from Rio to Buenos Aires was spectacular and I won't soon forget it. Much of my enjoyment was due in large part to our trusty guide, Zema. His professionalism and local knowledge of our surroundings should not be overlooked and I'm happy to say that he's become a new friend. He made sure that all of our group was safe, well informed, and had fun experiences along the way. His honesty regarding our foreign curiosities and local connections were also a refreshment. Each location was amazing and it once again proves that Expat knows how to map out a proper tour. Since our trip was during Carnaval, our itinerary was tweaked a bit but it was not a problem as it came with the territory. It's just good to see that people were having a good time again in Brazil since the Pandemic. Street parties, natural wonders, beautiful beaches, and tons of food/drink were just a few of the highlights during my time in Rio. The optional Rio+ was well worth it and I'm glad I was with my fun little group during all the exciting stops. Paraty was a cute, older town where I enjoyed walking the cobblestone streets and taking in the colorful houses. Journeying into the jungle was also a delight. Sao Paolo was a big city that reminded me of my hometown of New York. Iguazu Falls is a must-see and was more breathtaking than I had imagined. The town is also a good time and reminded me a bit of Niagara Falls in NY. Spending an extra day here was a treat and relaxing. I also recommend making the trip to Paraguay. Moving onto Buenos Aires was fun too. Although we lost a day here, there was still plenty of time to see the sights and explore the Argentine city with diligence. Overall, I had a great time and since it was during Carnaval, there was an extra exciting vibe all around. A big thank you once again to Zema and Expat Explore. Cheers to another fond memory!

This trip was a life-changing experience that allowed me to experience such a diverse continent with multiple cultures. Moreover, it enabled me to witness some of the most spectacular landscapes and scenery I have ever seen in the world.

This tour was unbelievable! The food, touching the local culture & the superb scenery made every aspect of this tour phenomenal. Highly recommended & South America really stole my heart.

There are not enough positive superlatives to adequately express how much i enjoyed my overland adventure and it was in no small part due to the enthusiastic and charismatic nature of Rob our leader. Every day brought more and more highlights and it was wonderful to be with like minded travellers as opposed to tourists.

It was my first trip with Dragoman and I had a really good time. I would definitely travel with Dragoman again. I enjoyed all the places we visited. There wasn't any town/place that wasn't worth seeing.
