Brazil and Argentina Experts Text Size A A A
You asked: My husband and I want to plan a trip to Brazil and Argentina. Who would you recommend who could help us with guides and drivers in the cities and suggestions for resorts or estancias in the countryside? –D.H., Washington, D.C.
I recently traveled with a first-rate company in Brazil. They specialize in everything from incredible trips in the rainforest, to private boats on the Amazon and villa rentals on the beach in Bahia and or on the islands of Angra, which we loved. They will take great care of Indagare members, so contact us to make an introduction. As flights often get cancelled last-minute and safety is a major concern in Rio, you want someone on the ground to help you navigate.
We have also worked with a number of great operators on the ground in Argentina who can do everything from arrange private parties in Buenos Aires and Patagonia adventures to finding estancias in the lake district that are kid-friendly and securing rentals near Punta over the holidays or arranging for food and wine trips around Mendoza.
Post some details about what you are looking for on the Ask Advice boards and we’d be happy to steer you in the right direction.
