Brazil Local culture Trips

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.

The highlight of traveling with you was the promptness and timeliness of service. All Hotels were very good and our favourite excursion was at Iguazu Falls, it was very scenic. All the guides were very good, we are very pleased with the service. Everything was excellent.

Evening Patty, I am doing really well although definitely missing the beautiful countries I had the chance to see on my trip. Sorry I didn't respond to your last email but it went into my junk mail for some reason and I didn't see it until this email arrived. Regarding the trip, it was fantastic! To answer your questions: -My favourite hotel was the location in Buenos Aires. The open-air hallway with the vines that walked into a beautiful courtyard was definitely more unique than a large chain hotel where many people stay where travelling. I loved that you used small local boutique hotels which really gave you a feel for the culture and the city that I was visiting -As for the most memorable place I visited, it has to be Igauzu Falls. A fantastic tour guide in such a beautiful setting made for a very memorable stop, I couldn't have imagined not seeing it when I was travelling -The best part of travelling with your organization was that everything was taken care of for me. As soon as I arrived in a city, I was told the itinerary for the time I was staying there which made it an extremely simple and stress free vacation. The only thing I would suggest was that I wasn't told that I would receive a breakdown of each leg of my trip once I arrived in my next city. It would just take the confusion out of it as I was wondering how I was suppose to get my tickets, rides, etc when I started on the journey. Overall your organization did a fantastic job !

Hi Vera We got back from our holiday yesterday & I wanted to write to you to say that we had an excellent time & the whole trip was extremely well organised. Our tour guides, of Vanessa in Buenos Aires, Gaston in Iguazu (Argentina), Margarita in Iguazu (Brazil) & Paolo (Rio) were all fantastic in their own ways Vanessa`s insight & Gaston`s background of working in the park, were exceptional The sights we saw of Igauzu Falls & the Rio Carnival were amazing (the hotels were all great & the flights were fine) Thank you very much for helping to organise our trip !

Our favorite hotel was Arena Ipanema in Rio. Great location, excellent room and service. Least favorite was La Cantera in Iguasu Falls. Huge room but no tea/coffee facilities in the room. Staff were great but no room service and we had some noise from surrounding rooms. I think the 2 day at Iguasu Falls was our favorite tour. Just seeing the magnitude of the falls and being able to get so close to them was amazing. Favorite memory (and photo) was at Ipanema Beach and the Christ Redeemer statue.

The Peru half of the tour is fantastic. Machu Picchu, including the train journey and Lake Titicaca were the highlights. The organization, local guides and tour leader were the best and they made a full itinerary easy and smooth. The second half of the tour which included Chile, Argentina and Brazil fell a bit flat apart from Iguassu Falls from both the Argentinian and Brazil sides. Chile, Santiago was not a nice city and none of the places visited were interesting. It could have been easily skipped and the extra days split between Argentina and Brazil.
