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

For me this was perfect. Great communication from the provider and excellent pick up/drop off for the tour guide. I booked the private tour option and was picked up at the agreed upon time. The car was air conditioned and clean. When we got to the falls, it was great to skip the lines waiting for buses. I was given about 90 minutes to explore the falls on the little “hike.” I had the option to add the bird park and the boat safari, but those did not interest me. Thank you!

Great trip! It is one of the best attractions in Brazil. Buy this trip with Birds park and speedboat for full experience Don’t go to Argentinian side right now as the bridge to Devils throat is destroyed.

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

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