Cruising Brazil's Amazon: not your typical tourist destination

  Amazon Nature Tours   I am a hiker. But at home no one uses a machete to blaze the trail prior to walking on it as did our guide Souza, creating a path in the overgrown rainforest step by step. Slicing, swatting, swooping, chopping, no branch, bush, vine or twig was safe. The hike was one of four daily activities during our eight-day adventure exploring Brazil's Amazonia.

At mighty Iguaçu Falls, Brazil & Argentina share the glory

What’s it like to be in the presence of the world’s largest waterfalls system? Well, in three words: wet, wild, and wonderful. These wonders of nature formed as the Iguazú River hurtles off the Paraná Plateau in the form of hundreds of waterfalls, at a rate of 1,500 square metres (gallons) per second, mark the local border between Argentina’s Misiones state and Brazil’s Paraná state (with Paraguay’s Ciudad del Este right nearby, as well). And let me tell you, these pictures don’t even do them…

    For Mr Murad Hassan: The best beaches in Brazil are in the Northeast (Porto de Galinhas, Natal, Maceio, Praia do Forte among others). Ideal you fly with Tap Portugal from Lisbon or Iberia from Madrid. Will save money on domestic flights. Can also arrive through Rio de Janeiro. Very nice beaches in the Buzios region. We can help you with hotel bookings, tours and transfers, car rental. For further information please contact me on frederico@brazilalwayssummer.com // Skype: fredericopontoscardeais // Tel: +55-61-3345-4441

    I have such a passion for Brazil. Rio was my first international trip when I was a youngster. Brazil will always be in my heart.
