We had a fantastic trip. Renata did an excellent job planning our Brazil trip which include visiting the Amazon, Iguazu Falls (both sides) and time in Rio. We loved our stay at Turtle Lodge in the Amazon and both our guides for Iguazu Falls and Rio were great. All our airport pick ups and drop offs went great as well. We hope to visit Brazil again. Thanks for a wonderful trip

Hotel Reviews
Hotel Intercity Manaus
Manaus

The front staff were great, both friendly and informative. Rooms were comfortable, but a little rough in spots, such as cabinets in bathroom coming undone or the multiple mysterious stains on white wall that look like had not been cleaned for awhile.

Nice hotel. Breakfast was great. Pool fantastic. Really close to the Falls. Room a bit small for King size bed and AC blew annoyingly in our face throughout the night.

Edwin was a great tour guide. He took us all around Rio, while giving us both a history and culture lesson of Brazil.
