1. Iguazu Falls
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 44,476 reviews
The colossal power of these thundering falls, viewable from both Argentina and Brazil, and accessible from Paraguay, is a mesmerizing sight: 275 separate falls in a U-shaped formation pound the water below in raging cascades with a deafening intensity.

Iguazu Falls was simply stunning, beyond description. We saw the Falls from both the Argentinean side, up close and personal with the deafening roar of the water in our ears, and from the Brazilian side, from lofty platforms with panoramic views above the Falls. It was magnificent and will be forever memorable. We had one gray cloudy day on the Argentinean side that made for dramatic moody photos, and a cool but bright sunny day on the Brazilian side where brilliant rainbows were everywhere on the water. This is well worth a visit. Our guide Carlos with G Adventures was awesome! He guided us to the best viewpoints on both sides, gave us ample time to absorb the beauty around us, and filled us in on the layout of the Falls, geology and history of the area, etc. Highly recommended!

Considered by some to be the best beach in the world, this is certainly my favorite. The beach can only be reached by a walk through a wooded area along a boardwalk, followed by a descent down a long ladder through a rock crevice. Access to the beach is restricted, and is never crowded. Indeed, there are few people and if you go early in the morning, the beach is all yours. One needs to purchase a pass to obtain entrance to the national park beaches on the island of Fernando de Noronha. I felt it was certainly worthwhile to support the conservation efforts and maintenance of Noronha’s many beaches. Your pass gives you access to all the beaches in the park system.

Unique National Park set in the Brazilian Cerrado Bioma, with bushy scrubs and grasslands, with many beautiful waterfalls, spectacular mainly during the rainy season (December - March). Enjoy the waterfalls and their pools while the red/green macaus fly over you in pairs against a fantastic blue sky.

The Furnas Canyons are a “must go” place. The water is crystal clear and there are incredible water falls that drop directly into the lake. Water temperature is comfortable.
5. Beach Park

There’s something for people of all ages at Brazil’s largest water park, including pools, saunas, ecological walks, artificial rapids and – not for the fainthearted – a water slide the height of 14 floors.

The trail to the beach is a little bit tiring. But it worths all the efforts. It's an amazing view and a beautiful beach. It's advisable to take food and drink with you.

"Fun & fulfilling" is just how I would describe this tour on the Rio Negro River (with also compliments to its "well-organized" nature) from its starting point near the Manaus Port Terminal right at about 9 am followed by about an hour of some nice views along the waterfront (including those of the port machinery, what maybe some "colorful favelas" of Manaus & the "long bridge" over the Rio Negro) to the first stop at the "fairly wide" confluence area of the black-watered Rio Negro & the brown-watered Amazon (for a "quite sufficient" time allowance of about 10 minutes to see), then a short 5-to-10-minute ride to the second stop at some "floating structure" with some mini-ponds full of "quite sizeable" fish where yes the interesting thing some people did was to buy small fish available for sale and feed them to those big fish (for about half an hour with also some souvenir shops to browse), then about a half-hour ride to the third stop for a buffet lunch with some small "nature walk" along the raised boardwalk nearby just before lunch (for a little over an hour in total and where there were also some big tables with souvenirs for sale although I found the costs "quite a bit" more for similar items compared to Adolpho Lisboa Market back at the Manaus waterfront), then the ride for the "longest stretch" of about 1.5 hours to the fourth stop for a swim with "pink dolphins" which were just 5-minute sessions in small groups of like 5 or 6 people but yes which for me was the "most fulfilling" part of this tour being just "amazingly up close" with 3 or 4 of them in that precious allotted time (for about an hour at the stop where yes it was also great to enjoy seeing other groups do the same after my group), then a short ride of 5 to 10 minutes to the fifth & the last stop at an Indian village for a dance show in their "big house" followed by some time afterward to walk around their "village-like" area at the back or as for some people a chance to go into the water some more (for about an hour at the stop where just the 20-minute dance show was sufficient for me and I was just a bit wary of that water where there were also trees & such!), then finally the ride of about an hour back to the city (where actually some people also got off near the "pretty crowded" Ponta Negra Beach along the way which I'm not sure is a good spot to catch the sunset), and arriving back at the Port terminal (right where we had started in the morning) at about 5 pm after the duration of about exactly 8 hours. I booked my tour at my place Hostel Manaus for about 180 reais (an equivalent of about 55 US dollars) which I would say was a "reasonable deal" including the all-you-can-eat lunch (as mentioned above) & the hotel transportation both ways, especially in comparison of that price to another one I'd got earlier from another tour agent elsewhere (so yes might be a good idea to shop around a little).

Myself and my girlfriend went here for two days trip from February 10th to 11th 2020. I had only been to a couple of Theme Parks in the world but from what I heard about this one, you should not expect Disney or Universal style of entertainment. So expectations were low. We entered the park and used the 24hr bank atm to get money ( note to self don't use that as they have incredibly high charges for use, use Bradesco Bank ATM ????). Then it was into the park and on first impression it looked nice. We first went to the Pirate Island looked interesting as it turned out it was not so impressive,then there is a German town section as we were in the South of Brazil a lot of German heritage.Still was not sure about whether this would be a classed a Theme Park or a Cultural experience with entertainment. Then I went on a kids ride all 6ft 4" of me ( there was no line ). Okay enough of the small talk. Then we decided to check out one the shows and it was AMAZING ???? the Acqua show- had contortionists, gymnastic style flips and tricks and some edge of the seat stunts.A really well done show and this was a sign of things to come. Then it was off to the Hot Wheels Epic Show.Hot Wheels the kids car toys but bigger,louder, petrol fueled, adrenaline rushing entertainment.What a show really enjoyable and wildly fun ???? . We also tried the Big Tower a tower 80metres high that you get dropped at about 75 miles per hour towards the ground.Also over the few days I tried the other rides and twice on Firewhip (basically you get strapped into it and you it's a rollercoaster but with your legs whipping left right and centre as you go at 50miles per hour and it leaves you with such a rush). In total We seen 5 shows. Excalibur from the King Arthur Medieval world,where you get to have a sit down meal and you are royally treated to Medieval sword fights,games and hand to hand combat and the crowd get really energized and are involved all the while. The Madasgar Circus Show lots of fun,loads of tricks,dancing and acrobatics and also the piece d'resistance The Cowboy Show which tells the story of the man himself Beto Carrero. So much fun to be had for young and old even a few water slides you can get a good soaking on. There is a reason this is South Americas No.1 Theme Park.It knows how to bring the fun and is professionally done and credit to all the staff for bringing the fun and joy. If you are in Santa Catarina go.Vai,Vai.Muito Bom.
