Brazil Vacation Review: Rio, Bonito, Mount Sugarloaf, Cave...

From start to finish, the tours, activities, and hotels exceeded our expectations. Everything went so smoothly. Every guide was fluent and knowledgeable, and every driver was courteous and punctual. We felt safe and attended to every second.

We are not sure how Zicasso's travel partner managed it, but we had a really experienced guide for our climb on Mount Sugarloaf and in Bonito, where we went primarily to dive. Our interpreter was a dive instructor and underwater photographer himself, and ended up accompanying us on the dives. Our photos and videos are truly spectacular.

We fell in love with Brazil. We will be back and you should go too!

Argentina Tour Review: Buenos Aires, Iguazu, Tilcara, Jujuy,...

Zicasso's travel partner put together a great trip for us Buenos Aires, Iguazú, Tilcara, and Salta. Our agent immediately responded to our questions and even quickly got a refund from the rental car company when we downgraded our car at Salta. I will definitely consider them first for any future trips to this region.

Brazil Trip Review: Manaus, Amazon, Boat Ride, Wildlife,...

It was a totally unique travel experience, with wonderful flora and fauna sights in the Amazon area near Manaus, first by boat and then in an eco lodge two hours from Manaus in the jungle. We could look out from our balcony at birds and monkeys in the trees. The food and juices were delicious and healthy for every meal, and all the people we met were friendly and fun.

Brazil Tour Review: Rio de Janeiro, Amazon, Porto Jofre,...

It was a great trip. This trip started as an idea to do a jaguar safari and we ended up including Rio de Janeiro and the Amazon as well. We really enjoyed the entire trip.

This was our second time working with this Zicasso travel partner (Argentina in 2018) and our positive experience the first time was a part of the reason we chose to work with them again.

Our travel agent has always been really helpful and just great to work with. He knows the region well and gives excellent advice. He has been responsive and very flexible; the planning has been efficient and all arrangements dependable. Everything went smoothly this time and last time. It has been a true pleasure and I really look forward to working with him again.
