Mata Atlantica Tours & Trips
Ever heard of Brazil's other rainforest? The Mata Atlântica (Atlantic Forest) once covered Brazil's coast but now exists in fragments. What remains has incredible biodiversity, with golden lion tamarins, toucans, and thousands of endemic species. Visit reserves near Rio, possibly Serra dos Órgãos for hiking, or further south near São Paulo. The forest feels different from the Amazon, with more mountains, different species, easier access from major cities.

Rio Essentials: Samba, Sun & Sugarloaf - D
Donald • traveled in November
Excellent tour. Had to pay extra to go to Sugarloaf which surprised me. Also, I originally booked for double occupancy and had to pay extra for single occupancy because my daughter could not make the trip. Isn't it cheaper for the operator to have only one person rather than two on the tour (which I had paid for)? Why should I have to pay an extra $100 for just one person? That was a ripoff..
