    Many thanks for your great review. Brazil is so vast that it requires a lot of travel to get around, so it's certainly a busy trip. We're glad that you enjoyed it!

    All credit to Blanca the guide making the trip run so well. Not easy with so many flights, airports, hotels and transfers while dealing with 'independent' travellers!

    A lot of travel but that is necessary if you want to see as much as possible of such a large country. We were a group of 7 and I would not have wanted to be in a larger group than that.

  • J

    Jan

    Asked on March 23rd, 2024

    Why no dates for this tour between June 29 and July 29, 2024? I'm looking for group tour Brazil with Amazon extension during these dates

    Tour Details
    • Explore!OperatorWritten March 2024

      The tour season generally closes for the Winter months, so therefore we don't operate any tours in July. The closest date that is available to the date you are looking at is the tour that departs on 15 June and returns 28 June. Would this tour date be suitable for you?

      If there are any testing requirements, our local agent would assist you in obtaining them. However, we do recommend that you check your government travel service as this will give you the most up to date information.
