What people love about touring Brazil solo
- Colors of Brazil: Rio, Foz do Iguazu & Salvador (incl. domestic flights)
We are a private tour of four people, visiting the Iguazu Falls. The arrangements for the three days, including the design of the itinerary, the selection of hotels and assignment of the local Iguazu tour guide, were all excellent. We feel very well taken care of the whole way. Thank you for an enjoyable time.

As advertised. Saw jaguars in their natural habitat.
