European by birth, I moved to Brazil decades ago and love living in fascinating Rio de Janeiro. Growing up in Belgium, speaking different languages came naturally to me and nowadays I communicate in six in total, even though Portuguese and English are my most common day-to-day languages. 

I founded our tour operator in the early 2000s after working in a large hotel in Rio de Janeiro prior to that. Our team, including your local expert Viviane, is an international, multi-lingual eclectic group and we also have a great portfolio of guides in many different languages and of many different specialities: no matter if you’re looking for a historian explaining the European heritage in Brazil or an ornithologist to accompany you to the Amazon, we’ve got you covered. And of course, carnival in our home city Rio is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for any traveler!

Our tours are most suited to those looking to cover several cities or regions in Brazil, wanting to make the most out of their time.

I am based in the city of Cordoba, Argentina, and I have had the privilege of traveling throughout my native country and its neighboring nations. Through my travels, I've had the opportunity to experience diverse cultures, each with its own unique customs and traditions. I'm thrilled to have the chance to share my cultural heritage with the world.

As an experienced tour guide in Patagonia, I've had the privilege of leading travelers through some of the most awe-inspiring landscapes on the planet. The rugged beauty of Patagonia is simply breathtaking, and I've had the opportunity to introduce countless visitors to its natural wonders.

We are a specialist tour operator with our own operations in Argentina and Chile and partner offices in other South American countries, able to offer you multi-country trips throughout the Southern zone of the continent.

Our tours are most suited to those looking to combine several countries in South America.

When people think of Brazil, it’s often soccer, carnival and Samba they think about. When I think of my beloved country, I think of a very diverse landscape from paradise beaches to untouched Amazon forest, I think of passionate people always ready for a talk and a dance and I think of the hospitality Brazilians show to travelers worldwide. My name is Viviane and I can’t wait to show you the best of my native country Brazil. 

Our tour operator is based in Rio de Janeiro and we’re as multicultural as Brazil is too - we speak over 5 languages in the office, among them Portuguese, English and Dutch, and are constantly out to explore more of our beautiful country. We have a great portfolio of guides in many different languages and of many different specialities: no matter if you’re looking for a historian explaining the European heritage in Brazil or an ornithologist to accompany you to the Amazon, we’ve got you covered. And of course, carnival in our home city Rio is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for any traveler!

I'm Brazilian with great pride. Brazil is a special country, with incomparable joy and incredible beauty. As a good carioca, I love carnival, samba and caipirinha. In my free time I like to go to the beach with my children

"To live life to the fullest"This is one of the guiding principles in my life: always trying to make the most of every experience that comes my way. I'm from Córdoba, Argentina, a country I love, but I also took the initiative to live a new experience in the United States for a few months. These experiences, both in my native country and during my travels across Latin America, have allowed me to discover wonderful places. As a professional in the tourism industry, I am passionate about sharing this philosophy with every traveler who seeks to explore beyond their borders and connect with the many facets Latin America has to offer.

What’s the difference between a local expert and a travel agent?
Our local experts actually live in the country you want to visit - they’re not just selling trips, they’re sharing real knowledge.
