A 4-hour Lapa night in Rio with VIP bar entry, live samba stops, and free cachaça shots, plus iconic Selarón Steps photos.
“Might have been unlucky but this was probably the worst of the bar crawls we done in South America. Host seemed a great guy though so can’t fault him, was a Thursday night we done, met at first bar and it just seemed a bit disjointed maybe due to people arriving late, some people wanting to eat and some not, it was probably a group of around 30, we seemed to hang around for 2 hours, you can order your own drinks here and we where able to chat to people directly beside us but due to big size of group you couldn’t really mix. Then had a walk to…”

Visit Pedra do Sal, learn Little Africa samba roots, and join a live street samba night with a local guide and included welcome drink.
“We were initially apprehensive about going to Pedra do sol after hearing mixed comments regarding safety. As soon as we met with our guide Gustavo and the lovely family that were also on the trip, we felt immediately at ease. Gastavo was brilliant, telling us about the history of the area and making sure that we had a great time. We can’t recommend this trip enough! Probably our favourite so far.”

A 4-hour Bonita Lagoon sunset tour from Barreirinhas with a staircase viewpoint, swimming lagoons, and Lençóis dunes at golden hour.
Sunset catamaran dinner cruise from Foz do Iguaçu, passing Brazil-Argentina border rivers, the Friendship Bridge, and the Three Frontier Landmark.
“Notre guide qui est venus nous chercher à notre hôtel était adorable ! La balade en bateau était très jolie c’était super sympas par contre le temps de navigation est de même pas 2h alors qu’il y a marqué 3h30 sur l’annonce et le buffet au vue du prix n’était pas à la hauteur de nos attentes. De plus ils mettent couché du soleil et nous sommes rentrés bien avant le coucher du soleil. Vraiment très déçus sur ces points. Le concept est quand même tres sympas mais trop cher au vue de la prestation. La photo est la dernière que j’ai prise avant de quitter le navire! Qui témoigne…”
A 5-hour Manaus to Iranduba night tour with bamboo-rod piranha fishing, a Solimões river cruise, and a dusk alligator search.
“I requested English speaking but he didn't speak any. He was told it was a Private hire. I suppose on the basis that nobody else booked that it was.”
