What people are saying about South Region, Brazil

We thoroughly enjoyed our day. The guide was informative and was delivering the info in both Portuguese and English. We added a helicopter ride to our tour which was the first thing we did. This was exhilarating and definitely worth doing. However we had to wait an hour to fly which meant we had very little time for the Parc des Aves afterwards and the guide whipped us through in a flash to catch up with the rest of the group who didn’t fly. We were then driven to the Falls. These were incredible but more crowded than we would have liked. It was really hard to walk and get a front seat view without being pushed by the crowd. It is high season so if you have a choice it would be better to go in low season or go solo so you can arrive before the crowds. This detracted from the awesome sight. It was a long day and we didn’t even add the boat ride which looked like a fun thing to do to complete the whole experience. For younger travellers it would be a must I think. All in all brilliant

The pick up bus was right on time, this organised trip relieved us of having to go through border check, ticket and bus trips on our own. Martello, our guide was extremely pleasant and had very good English. We were the only English speaking visitors on the tour and he explained everything to us. Overall, a very pleasant way to visit Brazil for a short visit.

Excellent, good guide and very helpful, knew how to look after you, the boat trip is a must and the view of the falls is incredible, you must do this tour

Great trip but because we booked speedboat as well Without speedboat this excursion is not interesting as bridge to Devils throat is destroyed

Excellent tour, 100% adventure On time, friendly staff, super fun
