This was an amazing tour, with an outstanding leader in Ingrid and excellent local guides, who worked together to create a very well organised holiday. We had realised, in order to get a snapshot of specific locations in this vast country, many internal flights would be essential and they worked very well. The tranquillity of the Amazon area with boat trips and forest walks revealed the hoped-for range of birds, including the curious looking Hoatzin. The Pantanal offered us beautiful birds such as the Hyacinth Macaw plus sightings of creatures, including the tapir and the prowling jaguar. The greatest surprise at Iguazu Falls was the discovery of a host of different species of butterflies. Overall, Explore had arranged a magnificent trip to show us highlights of these distinct regions of Brazil in a convenient timeframe.

Everything went perfect. From the time I was picked up from the hotel in Manaus, the boat ride crossing the Negro and Amazon rivers, the drive from the pier to the boat ride to the resort. I was in awe of the beauty and enormity of the forest. While boating through the flooded path amidst the trees, I fell in love with the Amazon forest. Definitely coming back again.
