Paraty: Jungle Waterfalls and Cachaça Distillery Jeep Tour

2.Jungle Waterfalls and Cachaça Distillery Jeep Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 491 reviews · 6 hours · from $37Best value

Review of Paraty’s six-hour jeep tour to Pedra Branca, Tobogã, Poço do Tarzan, and a traditional cachaça distillery.

“The tour allows you to visit 3 different places, the first stops allows you to see two waterfalls (One for pictures and the second you’re able to stand under if you wish). There is also opportunity to swim at the first stop. The second stop is the distillery, really interesting as you’re provided with a talk about the history and how Cachaça is made and then you get to taste many flavours!! Then you head for lunch at Restaurant Poco do Tarzan, we ordered chicken, rice, fries and beans for two it was delicious and the portion was huge! Then you get the opportunity to slide down the waterfall. Brilliant…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 362 reviews · 1 day · from $55

Review of Manaus’ full-day Amazon River tour, with meeting waters, pink dolphins, Victoria Regia lilies, Indigenous culture, lunch, and practical tips.

“where should I start? All I can say is that I was completely thrilled by this tour and that my expectations were by far exceeded!! That started at the lecture with the appointment the day before. Even though I didn't live in the defined area, they offered to pick me up there anyway! I found that very friendly. The next morning the driver contacted me to confirm the pickup and pickup time, which meant I didn’t have to wait unnecessarily on the street. When we arrived at the port, we were able to check in quickly for the tour and we set off soon. The guide showed up and explained…”

★★★★★★★★★★3.9 · 55 reviews · 36 hours · from $140

Sail from Manaus to Santarém on a 36-hour Amazon ferry, with hammock or cabin berths, rainforest views, meals, and practical tips.

“Bestilte turen på basis af billeder af en lille hyggelig båd. Endte op på en åd med over 1000 passagerer hængekøjer overalt. Øverste dæk, hvor man kunne opholde sig og få lidt mad og drikke, var med meget høj musik, så man ikke kunne snakke sammen. Havde bestilt og betalt for kahyt til tre personer men fik kun en lille kahyt med to senge. Ved henvendelse til Amazingtours blev der svaret, at vi bare selv kunne sætte en hængekøje op udenfor kahytten. Ikke acceptabelt. Et krav om delvis tilbagebetaling blev ikke besvaret. Amazingtours har bare scoret forskellen mellem en stor kahyt og den lille vi fik. Overordnet set, en tur…”

Overall an amazing day!”
