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.

Language does not seem to be a barrier at the Tivoli Eco-Resort Praia do Forte (see upgrade) kids’ club; and I saw European parents enjoying romantic candlelit dinners while the children ate together with their Brazilian ‘aunties’ - the food is superb by the way.

What you say
The Amazon was of course amazing and Patrick loved it, especially the piranha fishing and Cayman spotting. Patrick later said it was of his best days ever - tickled a tarantula out of its hole in the morning, caught 7 piranha in the afternoon and cuddled a cayman in the evening.
