We loved this trip!!

Brazil | Jun 7 - Jun 19, 2026

We loved this trip!! I think looking back my only change would be to reduce the number of in-country flights because they eat up too much of the vacation time - flights get in very late and then ruin the next morning. If I do a trip like this again, I would spend more time at each place and see less places overall, but I know some people really like a busy itinerary (I don't).

We loved everything about this trip - it was our first time hang-gliding (in Rio), our first time on a helicopter (over Iguazu Falls), and of course our first time in Brazil. So many memories we made, from walking along Copacabana Beach to being rained on for two days straight around Iguazu Falls to swimming with a pink dolphin at Tupana Lodge in the Amazon to eating the (gross) piranha that we caught there for dinner to listening to the great local music on Ilha Grande and waking up to the kiskadees with their characteristic loud song. We saw amazing animals and met amazing people, and it was an overall AMAZING trip!!!!
