I don't know how to thank you! Marcella gave us an extraordinary view of the city. In essence, through the "invisible guiding hand" of Brazil Nuts and its talented assistants, our event was a resounding success. Muito obrigada!!

I loved the various hotels you arranged. I'll definitely take advantage and plan something again.

The hotels at the Iguazzu Falls were fantastic (both sides) while the flight from foz to rio was faultless. Thank you for all your help. I will recommend Brazil Nuts to everyone who is travelling to South America.

We had a great time in Brazil. We truly believe it's the best trip we've been on and we've travelled a lot! There were lots of highlights - the Pantanal, the Amazon, Iguassu, Rio, Salvador. Thank you for all your help. Everything worked out very well.

Both Carol and I have had a great time and enjoyed Brazil very much. Given the chance we probably will go back. It has also created more of an interest in seeing South America which is not something that was even on our radar screen until recently. I think in large part, the credit goes to you and Brazil Nuts for creating a very nice trip.

I wanted to thank everyone for helping me plan such a great trip. Your recommendation of the Amazon Eco Park lodge was right on the money for my ten-year old son and myself. We loved it there and want to return. All of my Amazon dreams came true from swimming with pink river dolphins, to playing with monkeys, sloths and snakes, to fishing for piranha and eating them!

I loved Rio de Janeiro. Our dinner at the Cipriani at the Copacabana came on the same night the President of Brazil was there. Everything was so elegant and the food delicious. It is a beautiful hotel. We loved staying at the Ipanema Plaza. It is modern, clean and has a great view of the beach from the roof pool and bar. On the Ipanema floor we had breakfast delivered to our room each morning so we could dress and eat at the same time. There was no extra charge. Corcovado, Sugarloaf, Ipanema Beach, Santa Teresa (that tram was so much fun), shopping from street venders and the visit to Rio Scetarium were fabulous. I would really recommend the Rio Scetarium to future clients. It was so much fun! Rio is truly one of the most exciting cities in the world. I never felt threatened while I was there and Nancy and I were out in Ipanema until 10:30 many nights without the guide.

The Brazil trip was wonderful! The people are so friendly and helpful. The guides were fabulous in both locations, the falls and Rio. They shared so much information with us and were always there to help. I can't speak highly enough of the job they did.

The trip to Manaus, Belo Horizonte and Rio with our CCF sponsors was the best in the last five years. Great hotels, restaurants, local guides, and service. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed our trip----and let me say again that the guides in each city were OUTSTANDING!!!! Gary. D

Frank and I had a wonderful time. I want to return and stay at the falls for a week or more. I want to thank you for all your hard work in making our travel plans.

A great trip with great memories. Thank you for helping me plan my hotels and activities. All were wonderful. I also want to commend the brazilian connection after we arrived. Hosts on the ground were efficient and friendly. I will recommend Brazil Nuts to anyone. Excellent job Marisol!

Everyone should stay at the Tropical Cataratas when going to the falls. The wood, architecture and landscaping were amazing. We could walk across the lawn to the falls. A beautiful location and the service was great. The outdoor dining was beautiful. Both nights we were entertained by soft Brazilian music. The Kiel group joined us for dinner one of the nights. My sisters and I all bought rings with brazilian gemstones at the H. Stern shop in the hotel. What fun! Iguasu Falls were amazing. They are truly a world wonder. The rafting trip to the falls was so exciting. I will never forget it. I was soaked after the trip.

The Brazil trip was wonderful! My sister and I and the Kiel group had so much fun! The people are so friendly and helpful. The guides were fabulous in both locations, the falls (Neter?) and Rio (Ra). They shared so much information with us and were always there to help. I can't speak highly enough of the job they did. In the falls we added the bird park and in Rio we added on a helicopter ride. Both additions were scheduled with no problem. Our guides were always on time and worked with the times we wanted to go to the locations.

Just returned from our trip and had to write you to say THANK YOU!!! Everything was just great. Each and every guide was wonderful. Alex in Rio, Marcus in Salvador, Angela at the Falls and Matias in Buenos Aires, in addition to being knowledgeable and helpful, was also good company! Needless to say...the arrangements and all were outstanding. Many memories...the sites, futbol games, dancing the samba in the streets of Salvador, Bip Bip in Rio. I could go on and on... Do know that I will without hesitation recommend Brazil Nuts to anyone I know who's planning a visit to South America. I thought this would be my only trip to the country, but the experience was such that a return, especially to Brazil, will be on my list of future destinations. Thanks again, deb

The Amazon Eco-Park exceeded our expectations. The native guide Yuri was outstanding, the food excellent, and the facility very comfortable. The pool was beautiful, but we preferred to swim in the warmer Rio Negro. The trip to the meeting of the waters was a wonderful day.

My personal highlight was Iguassu Falls. We started our tour in a pouring rainstorm which made even taking pictures a challenge. But once you are wet it doesn't matter. We visited the Argentine side on the first day, then went to the Brazil side the next day. We both loved the Macuco boat ride. It is definitely not as tame as the Maid of the Mist. Of course, we got drenched again. My sneakers did not dry out until we returned home.

Rio on a Sunday is not to be missed when everyone flocks to the beaches. The city certainly has a wonderful location too. We went to Sugarloaf and the Christ the Redeemer Statue and enjoyed the views, but we really loved just walking the beachfront like all the locals.We can't say enough things about the wonderful trip to Brazil. It is a diverse country, and we enjoyed all of our stops.

Our trip to Manaus & the Amazon was wonderful. The Amazon Clipper Premium boat was more than we anticipated. Our cabin was great and the food was the best we had in Brazil. The Mango Guest House was our own paradise.

We had a marvelous trip and everything worked out as planned, including the weather. Many thanks for everything.
5/4/07 | Ken & Cheryl from Kansas City

We had a wonderful time in Brazil. All the travel arrangements you worked on went smoothly. The pick ups for the airport etc. went smoothly and we were met by lovely people. The Pantanal was great--very hot and humid but very nice. I would say that 3 days there is plenty.

Brazilnuts put together the perfect trip for me.....some old haunts and some new places to explore. My husband is now in love with Brazil! All together it was a perfect vacation thanks to the guidance we received from Brazilnuts. Maria Luisa's suggestions worked wonderfully. We had enough time to explore all four cities and still enjoy the beaches and shopping. We are now convinced the private tours with English speaking guides were the most worthwhile decision we made. We learned so much about the places we visited, felt safe, pampered and gained four new friends. We can not say enough about the four guides we had. They were professional, knowledgeable and helpful in every way. We consider them all new friends. The hotels were all wonderful....Every suggestion Brazilnuts made was right on the money. We can't thank you enough.

The trip was excellent. The service received by your staff was great. Excellent guides, and also choice of hotels you recommended. Mr. Barnes was very impressed. Assistance from Dorothy in planning this trip was also excellent.

Our trip was wonderful. We had such a good time. The location of the hotel was great.The person who picked us up the airport (arranged through you) was wonderful. His name is Daniel and we booked two half day tours with him. He helped us with other things too – like figuring out how to use a banking machine in Brazil. I hope to make it to the Amazon someday and will call upon your services. Thanks again!

We had a wonderful trip to Brazil and found your pre-travel tips very helpful as we packed. We were very impressed with the charm and cleanliness of Mango guest house and found the woman at the front desk very helpful. We also loved the Juma Lodge experience. Everything was just as promised. We felt it was a very good way to get a feeling for the Amazon region. Thanks for your services.
