why does te price go up by over 50% for single travelers, Accomadation is not this expensive in Brazil

A hotel room usually costs the same whether one or two people stay in it. So if you travel alone, you don't split the cost with anyone, which makes the trip more expensive per person.

Could you please provide more information on the itinerary, details about inclusions, and whether internal flights are included? Additionally, could you advise if there is a child discount for a 14-year-old child?

The requested trip doesn't include domestic flights. To reach each destination, you travel by land (and sea to reach Ilha Grande). There are no discounts for 14-year-olds. Children aged 11 and over pay the adult price. Everything that is included is: 10 nights in standard accommodation with breakfast, all transfers, excursions mentioned in the program with an English-speaking guide, and admission to sites of interest.

Is it possible to share a room with other solo traveler if there is any?

It is not a pure group trip, therefore it is not possible to share a room with other travelers.

What is the accommodation like on this tour without paying for extra accommodation? Can we book a triple room for 3 people?

Accommodations are standard category. Examples include: In Rio Hotel Windsor Copa, in Paraty Pousada do Principe, in Ilha Grande Pousada Cauca or similar hotels.

We are arriving to Sao Paolo 01/08 at 17.35 and departing 14/08 at 19.15 h. We would like to have 4 stars accommodation, 4 double rooms (8 persons). Our budget is around 2000€ including domestic flights, visiting Iguazú, Rio, Ilha Grande and Pareto.

I have selected 4* accommodations as you requested, but as you may notice, the price exceeds your budget. To lower the price you need to go for 3* hotels.

I am very interested in the group travel to Rio, Paraty and Ilha Grande. However before booking I would like to speak to a human operator about this trip. It is in regard to the group assembly.

We are unable to confirm this trip as there are no other participants registered for the selected date. Additionally, the departure date is too close to allow us to organize the trip properly.

Is airport pickup and drop off included. What are the class of hotels. How many meals are included. How many other activities do we have to pay for. Is there a overnight ferry on this trip. I am a solo person requiring a private room and private bathroom and will that be available if we take ferry trip.

What is the next earliest date I can book?

Is a child under 2 years old able to travel on the tour without paying?

The child can accompany the tour without paying. They are not entitled to a seat or separate transfers, but hotels will accommodate without additional charge.

Can you advise the hotels you would usually book?

The hotel we usually book are standard accommodations. Rio de Janeiro: Windsor Copa or similar Paraty: Pousada do Principe or similar Ilha Grande: Pousada Naturalia or similar. If they are interested in having superior hotels or private tours I can send a custom quote.

Would you know how many people are booked for this date please

There are no people booked for this date yet. If you want I can quote you an individual price, but you have to consider that the dates you requested coincide with a national holiday and therefore hotel prices in Rio may be higher than on other dates.

The tour I took just now in Dec. 2025 was 3-day Iguazu Falls from Rio which is no longer offered. The supplier Etours was very responsive both before and during the tour making sure things were happening according to what we needed. There were a few things they (Daria and team) helped us to find alternate ways to make sure our needs were accommodated. The most impressive is that they responded to one of the situations right away when I email them and make it right. I am thankful the way they responded instantly when things were not happening as planned. There was good communication by whatsapp from each driver before the pickup. I think the overall service was very good. Margaret (Canada).Show more
