Owing to many clients' preference for flexibility, and the variation in flight price according to season and availability, the price quoted excludes the cost of international flights, which we will happily arrange for you. Flights to Latin America can be daytime or overnight, while the return flight is always overnight, so you will need to add at least one day to arrive at the total length of your holiday.

A marvellous combination of wilderness adventure in the Pantanal and beach holiday on the balmy coast of Bahia. I've been virtually everywhere in Brazil and can genuinely say that the Pantanal is one of my favourite places - the stunning flight of tropical birds against an apricot sunset sky is an unforgettable image - and the Praia do Forte hotel is in my top 10 hotels.
