Testimonials

Diane and Jim Anderson in Lima Hello Gavin,

Five weeks in South America and we joke that we received "more for less." Our questions were always promptly and thoroughly answered. This service was SO much better than buying a packaged tour!!!. We always appreciated the flexibility and personal touch, AND all at a reasonable price. We highly recommend Brazil For Less and plaudits to Gavin who easily earned his beer when we met up with him in Lima.

Special 1: Heart of the Carioca

Rio de Janeiro - Pao de Azucar (Sugarloaf) / Corcovado (4 days / 3 nights)
From $519 €331 £263

Rio de Janeiro, known as the ‘Cidade Maravilhosa’ (Marvelous City), is famous for what many consider to be the world's most beautiful setting: the azure Atlantic Ocean, lush mountains, Sugarloaf Mountain rising up steeply from the sea, and paradisiacal beaches - all in a tropical climate. The statue of Christ the Redeemer, named one of the New 7 Wonders of the World, will be looking down on you as you join the locals in reveling in all Rio has to offer: beaches, samba, football (soccer), the local firewater, cachaza, and perhaps most of all, the Cariocas, Rio’s ebullient residents.
