We hope the following will give you a rough idea of costs. These are quoted per person based on twin share for two people, without international flights but including internal flights. We’ve used good standard accommodation throughout. There are nearly always ways to spend more money than we’ve suggested (!), but these prices show a good and realistic range for each type of trip.

International flights will add from about £700 to £900 depending on the season and route (unless the airlines have special offers). Brazil combines with Peru, Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands due to scheduled flights, so, for example, it makes a good beach stop after Peru or Ecuador.

For a specific personal quote based on any tailor made itinerary you have in mind, please contact us and we’ll be happy to help you.

Tribes Advisor

This is one of the very few hotels close to Iguassu Falls with real character and charm. The location is not particularly inspiring, on a dusty street on the edge of the dusty town of Puerto Iguazzu, but it is convinent enough for the shops of the town as well as visits to both sides of the falls. However, inside the high walls the hotel is shaded and peaceful. The rooms are all individually decorated, and the owner has obviously taken real care to make each room different, with excellent attention to detail. For such a small place, the food is amazing. The chef really knows his stuff, and the food he serves up is unique and very tasty.
