Pricing guidelines for Brazil

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

I stayed here on my visit to Iguassu Falls, and was pleasantly surprised. The hotel is modern and pretty characterless, but the rooms are very comfortable and the place is well run. Although it is quite large, it is low rise and does not feel enormous. The best thing though is the location. There is more than enough forest out the back of the hotel to get well and truly lost in - I wandered all the way down to the Iguassu River which was close to a mile from the hotel on well kept trails without leaving the hotel grounds. Having the bird park just a few minutes walk away is also ideal - you can just pop in if you have a few hours free and don't have to worry about getting there and back. It's also only a few minutes drive from the airport, which is really useful if you have an early morning or late evening flight.
