After so many years working in tourism in Brazil, I know the country very well and, having traveled extensively to many places around the world, I know what tourists expect when they travel. My goal is to make dreams come true!

What places and activities do you specialize in?

"We are specialists in Brazil. Regardless of the city or type of client, our goal is to offer an unforgettable experience. We have been able to build trips to all kinds of people. The solo traveler, the family, the couple (young and of age), and the group of friends. Brazil has activities for all!"

How did you get involved in travel?

"All my life I have traveled, accompanying my family, due to my father's work. I have lived in 5 different countries. But after getting to know so many different cities, it was time to get to know my country, Brazil.
And over 6 years ago, I had an opportunity to work with tourism and seize it. My family and I opened our travel agency to show the world all the beauty that Brazil has to offer. Since then, I am completely passionate about what I do. Seeing the customers’ happiness after a trip is extremely satisfying."

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"All the trips I take are memorable, as I come back from them all happy to have known yet another city and a new culture. But the trip that I have great memories of was the first one I took with my whole family and my son (who was 2 years old at the time). We went to Paraty and until today I remember the feeling of peace while we were sailing on the calm waters of Paraty Bay. "

Communication on-site was also smooth — the agency provided us with a WhatsApp number, and any time we had a question, they responded quickly and helpfully.

The only area for improvement is that we would have appreciated a bit more proactivity. For example, it would have been helpful to receive the names and contact details of our drivers or guides in advance without us asking for it, as well as a little more proactive communication with additional information before departure.

As we rounded the corner in the motorized canoe, we saw buildings up on stilts, thatched roofs and a screened amenity room. The dock was there to received boats. It was perfect! Just what we hoped for in a remote jungle experience.

Among the highlights were spending the afternoon in the Lençóis Maranhenses National Park and swimming in the lagoons; one of the most jaw-dropping natural wonders we've seen. Also spectacular was watching the sunset congregation of thousands of red guarás in the Delta Do Parnaíba.

Our guide in Salvador, Bruno, was particularly informative about the realities of Brazilian life and history and Pedro, our guide in Parnaíba, was playful and entertaining, helping us with our poor Portuguese pronunciation and creating a playlist for us of Brazilian music.

There were a few minor hiccups along the way but Rachel was able to make adjustments and provided a couple extras to ensure we had a trip smooth.

Hotel Reviews
Vila Kalango
Jericoacoara

Easily the best place we stayed in Brazil. Lovely rooms with great use of space. Breakfast buffet was excellent and relaxing. If you stay in main hotel area closer to the entrance I'd recommend a 2nd-floor room as the nice wooden floors tend to create a lot of noise.

Miramar Hotel by Windsor
Rio de Janeiro

Very nice hotel with especially good breakfast buffet in Copacabana and right on the beach. This is more of a large corporate hotel and doesn't really have a lot of character but the staff was friendly and the room very comfortable. The beach view didn't hurt either. It's about a 20 minute walk to neighboring Ipanema where most of the nicer shops and restaurants are and, if I were to do this trip again, would prefer to stay in that area (though there are fewer hotels there).

Hotel Villa Bahia
Salvador

The Hotel Villa Bahia in Salvador was a beautiful place. It's located right in the old part of town among the colonial buildings, which gave it a unique charm. The rooms and the building were gorgeous and the staff was very helpful. However, it was a bit of a ghost town due to the time of year we visited, which detracted from the overall experience.

Unique visit into a favela and hike to top of prominent peak overlooking Rio. To start we rode on the backs of motorcycles to get to the top of the favela, where the hike started, and then walked through it on the way down. This is not an easy hike. It's not particularly dangerous but there are some somewhat steep areas and it can take a good hour to get to the top. Bring plenty of water, especially on a hot day, and decent shoes (no flip-flops).

She even accommodated our last-minute request to include the visit to Iguazu falls, handled luggage issues when going to Amazon and was very accommodating with request to visit Christ second time since the 1st time was completed washed out due to heavy rain. She went above and beyond. I'm greatly appreciative. She wanted us to leave with a such a wonderful memory. We did, Rachel. THANK YOU!!!!
