This trip was a whirlwind! I felt like I was gone for a month- and went home with lifelong connections. The group dynamics were great- Jorge was an awesome tour director and we were all so sad to say goodbye. I will definitely be booking a tour again with him as a guide- he has...

Great Tour. The group size was perfect [25]. Definitely be careful about the flights due to the colder weather up north. Flights had been delayed for other members of the group. They missed 3 days in the beginning. Thankfully, my flights thru EF were great both ways. Be mindful...

This was my first EF trip, and I'm glad I picked this one. It's a pretty long trip, packed with activities, but it was a great experience, overall. There's so much to see in Rio, and I feel like we did some of the "big" stuff, like Sugar Loaf, Christ the Redeemer, Selarón steps,...

Amazing - just book it.

I have gone on a lot of EF trips -- this one is just as amazing IF NOT MORE than all of them. Its been a few months since I went on this trip and I still think and dream about it.... so fun! It felt extremely worth every penny and the perfect mix between city, beach, nature,...

Overall I enjoyed this trip a lot, just the weather in ilha grande and Argentina was a bit cold and rainy, but that did not stop our group from enjoying and having fun. I wish it started in Argentina, Iguazú, Rio and ended in ilha grande.
