Morning view of the Iguaçu Falls
Visits were paid to Brazil in January and September 2011, which both started in Rio de Janeiro. The January trip also included Saquarama (close to Rio de Janeiro), the Iguaçu National Park to enjoy the waterfalls and the rich wildlife, and Ilha do Mel further south. The main goal in September was to visit Pantanal and the Cristalino Jungle Lodge in the Amazonas, close to Alta Floresta.
