Northeast Brazil Tours & Trips
Ever considered Brazil beyond Rio? Northeast Brazil has this different energy entirely. Salvador's Pelourinho district shows off colonial architecture at its wildest, hike along Rio Serrano near Lençóis. Chapada Diamantina, with caves you can actually swim in, plus Cachoeira da Fumaça drops from serious height. Poço Azul and Poço Encantado have water that's this impossible shade of blue. Beach time at Praia do Forte or Morro de São Paulo are also must-dos. Ready?

We enjoyed our tour very much. Everything went according to plan - pickups and transfers, accommodation, wonderful tours and guides. The places we visited were amazing. Communication with Daria from E-tours was excellent, she was always very responsive and adapted the tour to our requirements. We are more than happy to recommend her services.

I liked the journey very much! I wasn't expecting this full Service, including Transport to and from the bus, to be honest. It was nice, but wouldn't be necessary. Usually I would have tried to do alot without a guide, but as it was a spontaneous trip, that was the only option for me, also considering that I don't speak Portuguese. Everybody was overwhelmingly nice!! I'd recommend for future trips and customers not to go to aguas Clara's, or at least not at weekends as it was crowded a lot! Maybe make a bike tour of that, that would be a nice change. You could also promote some more adventure for the trips as you have tyrolesa, jumps in the water etc. Etc. I'm not sure if the 2 day trip eventually was the right choice for me, but everyone else loved it and said it was the best. I loved the most the sossego. For the trips where carry-on food is provided probably ask what someone likes to eat... some was great, others not so much ? All together I can highly recommend the trip an the service!!
