What people are saying about South Region, Brazil

We are travelling the world and this is up there with some of the best thing we have done. A mistnis to do the boat ride. Amazing to be in (under) mother natures glory. You get drowned but as its so hot it's perfect. Very well organised. Great boat driver. Worth every cent. Amazing views of the falls from the Brazilian side as you can see the falls on the Argentinian side which have 80% of the falls. The bird park was beautiful, colourful birds flamingos, toucans and butterflies. Do the 3 things on this tour.

We enjoyed the trip very much. The driver picked us up from the hotel in a car that drove us across the border to a park on the Brazilian side. We had a choice if we wanted to walk the trail past the waterfalls first or take the boat under the waterfalls first. Finally, we were taken back to the hotel.

First time in Brazil so didn’t know what to expect but the tour is was exceptional - capped with macuco safari towards the end which was amazing. Everything was arranged and stress free which was brilliant especially as we don’t speak Portuguese.

Despite the fact that we didn't speak the languages of our guide, that didn't stop us from having a good day. Everything went as planned.

Hotel pick up was on time, communication very good being kept informed of to.es etc
