Sue riding in Latin America and the Brazilian Pantanal
There is some wonderful riding in South America and, as a keen rider, I have jumped at every opportunity and been lucky to have ridden throughout the continent. The rides in Ecuador, Uruguay, Argentina, Chile and, most recently, Brazil have all been very special, quite different and unique. Riding f... Read more»
Brazil Wildlife: Pantanal or Amazon?
Brazil is considered by some to have the greatest biodiversity of any country in the world. It is home to jaguars, pumas, capybaras, sloths, tapirs, monkeys, anteaters, armadillos, otters and dolphins; hummingbirds, toucans, parrots, macaws and birds of prey; caimans, turtles and anacondas. But wher... Read more»
Ali's Guide to Rio de Janeiro
It has been several years since my last visit to Rio and, as I discovered, a lot has changed. Yes, there are still the iconic sights of Sugar Loaf and Corcovado but there is so much more to the city that a few days spent there only just scratches the surface. In the run up to 2016 Rio received a lot... Read more»

My two weeks of travel started in Iguassu with Travel Mark... Read more»
Brazil - Claire on the beaches of the north-east
Home to approximately 5,000 miles of coastline, Brazil knows how to do beaches; from vibrant city shores, to idyllic island getaways, the choice is almost too abundant. The words ‘once sleepy fishing village’ seem to be bandied about more freely than the cachaça flows, to (albeit accurately) describ... Read more»
Brazil - Fran explores Salvador and the Chapada Diamantina National Park
My favourite country in Latin America is Brazil, there is still so much of it I am yet to explore. The north-east region is such a contrast to the south that it almost feels like a different country - with its own unique culture, food and history it had long been on my list of places to visit and so...

Brazil - Oli visits the natural wonders of the north-east
In May this year I found myself packing my bags and jetting off to one of my favourite countries, Brazil. I flew direct on TAM Airlines from London Heathrow to Rio de Janeiro. Having not been back in four years, fond memories of caipirinhas, agua de coco (ice cold fresh coconut water) and dancing th... Read more»
