These clients have a lofty goal: to visit every continent in the next few years. This year they tackled South America by visiting Brazil. They visited Rio de Janeiro, Iguazu Falls, and Buzio, enjoying a good balance of excursions and free time. They had a lot of fun together, and took some great photos!

His birthday coincided with the trip, and he really wanted to be hiking and experiencing the amazing beauty of the Andes on his birthday. He reached out to me to plan the trip about a month prior to the departure date, so I crafted a solo trek (with English speaking guide) for him.
