Amazing trip! Rachel did a wonderful job helping us plan an extraordinary trip to Brazil, including Rio, Salvador and the Pantanal. The logistics were perfect -- everything went as planned. In Rio, we had to make some changes because of weather (rain and lack of visibility) and Rachel helped us adjust our trip plan and guides so that we had the Sugarloaf and Christ the Redeemer on the sunny, clear day. All of our hotels were well-located and very nice.

The highlight of the trip was the Pantanal with incredible jaguar sitings every day and extraordinary birds. Our guide in the Pantanal, Julio, was wonderful.

Thank you!

Incredible trip to our favorite parts of Brazil! My wife and I had lived in Brazil for a time doing volunteer work. We were unable to do much tourism when we lived there so we didn’t have tons of knowledge about what to do or how to book it. Luckily we had the fortune of using Kim Kim and getting to have Chayda’s recommendations. It was very short notice but everything was done extremely well. Our plans were updated on the fly as we wanted to have a little bit of extra time in certain areas. We loved our guides in Rio and Jericoacoara namely Miguel, Cézar, and our driver from Parnaíba to Jericoacoara (for the life of me I can’t remember his name but he was amazing).

Chadya was efficient and provided an ideal itinerary, taking in all our preferences and trip needs.
In Paraty, guide Danielle was especially good, also Luis in Rio de Janeiro, and Marcos in Iguacu.
All our places to stay were exactly as described, and the drivers were on time, and connections by boat and plane were as described. We have seen the most amazing places and enjoyed great food and company.
We particularly like the Pousada d’Ouro in Paraty, also the Pousada Naturalia in Ilha Grande
As older travellers, we would have liked more written information of our flight details before we got the boarding passes by email the day before the flight. I am a bit of a worrier, and this was perhaps the only detail I could mention in a superbly managed trip.

The two waterfall stops were good, but the distillery not much to see.

Half Day Boat Tour of Ilha Grande

Ilha Grande

Lots of swimming

Christ the Redeemer & Sugar Loaf Mountain

Rio de Janeiro

We did Christ the Redeemer visit and Sugar Loaf trips on different days, and I would recommend that, as they are the two most amazing experiences and needed time to appreciate. So the old town could be added on one of those days

Full-Day Private Tour through the Old Rio

Rio de Janeiro

Luis guide recommended. He showed us the old library, go and see. Also craft shops and painters studio

Iguaçu Falls - Brazilian Side

Foz do Iguaçu

Guide Marcos very helpful. Has to be seen to be believed

Iguaçu Falls - Argentinean side

Foz do Iguaçu

Guide Marcos very helpful We also visited the dam instead of the bird park. We found that very interesting. Marcos arranged the change, thank you.

Highly recommend KimKim and Chadya! Our travel experience was seamless and it was incredible having everything perfectly set up for us. Chadya was also very accommodating in helping to adjust our itinerary to make it affordable, and exactly what we wanted. Our guides and tours were incredible, and we felt so safe the entire time. I would definitely use their services again, and would recommend them for anyone interested in a travel agent!

Everything went well with the plan. We got pick up on time and have a good drivers + tour guide staff. /We were not happy with one tour guy (he was old and rude to us) and got a replacement right away the next day.
Our hotels are reasonable and in good locations but they are not the top as we pay the VIP package. Especially, the hotel in Sao Paulo: it should be rated as 2 -3 stars not 4. I would recommended that you choose your hotels rather than Kimkim.
Sao Paulo is very big city and quite dangerous for tourist. Other cities are ok but still: walking at night after 7: 30PM is not recommended.

Half- day tour in Belo Horizonte and Transfer to Ouro Preto

ouro preto

We landed in Belo Horizonte and was pick up by the driver and a tour guy who did not even offer to help us with luggages. We has only 2 carryon and 2 napbacks but it was a very long walk from the airplan to the parking. Our tour guy was a very old man whom mumbling that we could not understand a word he said then he yelled as my husband when my husband complained about no good air condition in the car. We was upset and asked to go straight to our hotel in Ouro Preto: forget about the tour. We was glad that Kimkim change our tour guy the next day. The car air condition was fixed the next day as well. Our driver was great with all the steep hills in Ouro Preto.
