Brazil, Iguazu & Argentina Delights - Tour Rio to Buenos Aires

I've seen impressive waterfalls and scenery before but this takes it to a whole new level. When you think you've seen it all you turn a corner and get a whole new perspective. You get to see and experience different things everyday. With plenty of free days that you can organise yourself or fill with the optionals you can really bulk out this holiday and make it packed with new experiences which you may have not found by yourself. I've not had a minute spare as always an optional available to fill any free time which is what I chose to do. The Iguazu falls is a must experience! The views on the walk are simply breathtaking then your breath gets taken in a whole new way on the boat ride into the base of the Devil's throat.

I had a wonderful time traveling with G to Colombia. The CEOs were wonderful, and G always seems to attract likeminded travellers who I thoroughly enjoy my time with. As a 30-something year old woman, I completely recommend taking a Classic tour, as there is a wonderful mix of age ranges that add so much character to the tour. The tour to Colombia included a great mix of smaller towns and larger cities, and I felt the pacing was perfect. While the accommodations could be improved, I had such a wonderful time, and would highly recommend the tour to others.

My trip was wonderful -- I can't say enough good things about Mario and his team! I was travelling solo, and they worked with me to customize the itinerary to be exactly what I needed alongside a work trip I had right before. All of the guides and other staff members were very professional, kind, and prepared. Pickups were on time, and even mundane drives were filled with interesting information and good conversation. Special shoutout to Alberto, who took me to Tortuguero and was so knowledgeable about wildlife (and whose keen eyes spotted some spider monkeys on the drive home, enabling us to stop and see them and some howler monkeys). A true highlight! But everyone was wonderful -- definitely recommend.

Luciana gave us a very positive vibe - it's as simple as that! Everything was excelent and she did it great! We loved all of it. But the Amazon was great! Our best activity was Paragliding in Rio and the best lodge was Turtle Lodge in the Amazon. The only thing we didn't like were the mosquitos and the hotel in Manaus!

This was the best introduction to Costa Rica and everything it has to offer travellers. A perfect blend of active and comfort, we had the option to be as adventurous (or not) as we wanted. Everything was well thought out and planned; a true "wellness" trip where we felt like we were living the best versions of ourselves. The flavours, hospitality and the good nature of the "pura vida" was with us from the moment we landed, and will be with us for a long time afterwards.
