We did the Jaguar Safari and were absolutely thrilled with the whole experience. From the first contact to the end of the trip, everything was very well organized. Communication with Elisama was easy and reliable, and we always received quick responses to our questions. The entire trip was very well planned and perfectly organized. We were picked up directly at the airport and taken to our accommodation. The accommodation in Porto Jofre was also very nice and fit perfectly with the experience. Our guide Jo was with us throughout the safari, took great care of us, and shared lots of interesting information about the wildlife and the area. The absolute highlight, of course, were the jaguars: Within just two days, we saw 10 different jaguars. It was an incredible and truly unforgettable experience. We would definitely book the safari with Planeta Exo again and can highly recommend the company and the entire team!

The tour was well planned and organised. The staff was excellent: responding fast, solving issues immediattely and very kind. Would definitely recommend.
Agile and helpful contact. I received all the information with clarity and attention to the details. Demonstrate all experience from the first contact. Thank you !
This is the second time I come to Foz do Iguacu and, once again, I leave with the certainty that I made the best choice. Travel is wonderful, but traveling without worries is even better. From the first contact to the last tour, we had the tranquility of knowing that there was a team prepared, attentive and always willing to meet all our needs. All employees, attendants, drivers and guides were extremely receptive, polite and cheerful. We had the pleasure of knowing the Falls, Itaipu, Argentina and other tours with professionals who show passion for what they do. It is easy to see that the team works with love and dedication, and that makes all the difference in the experience of those who visit Foz do Iguacu. The feeling is being welcomed by a large family. Every collaborator contributed to making our journey easy, organized and unforgettable.
Passing to thank you for these days! This trip has always been a dream for me and I didn't want to take any risks. The agency made everything easy, gave all the support for me and my family. The guides were fantastic, especially Fernando who guided us through the Argentine Falls! I am grateful and very happy right now!
We did several tours with the agency and indicate a lot. Excellent guides, very polite private drivers. One guide that surprised us was VIVIAN, very friendly and attentive. She memorised the names of the passengers and every time she met us, she remembered our name. We stayed 1 week and every day we made two tours with them.
Excellent travel experience, a very organized and punctual company. Special thanks, for the affection, dedication and all the attention and welcoming with my family, made all the difference. From the assembly of the itinerary to every follow-up from the start to the end of the journey, thinking of all the details.
I made a trip to Foz do Iguacu with my husband, I have no words to thank for the wonderful days we had. What caught our attention was the logistics because everything worked in an organized and punctual way for all the tours. We want to thank the entire team starting with Joao Lopes and the support of the sales team, all the drivers and the guides Yoshie, Cleiton, Fernando, Leandro, finally all who were with us on the tours. Congratulations to everyone for their work, dedication and excellence.
The agency was perfect in all respects. We did several tours and in all we were very well served. A special compliment to the guides who were very attentive and competent. We praised the performance of the guide Fernando on the tour that we did to the Argentine waterfalls. We will certainly recommend the agency to friends.
Very helpful, reliable, welcoming and friendly.
Brazil private tours: how much of the trip can you actually shape?
A private tour includes the same wild nature run for your group alone: your own guide, your own departure date, and a pace set by what you want to see rather than a fixed roster. Most of our trips already run in small groups of up to 6 people, and nearly all can switch to a fully private departure on some tours for as few as 2 travelers at no extra cost. That is the real appeal of private tours in Brazil—you trade the fixed group for control.
That control matters most in the places worth slowing down for. The Amazon holds 60% of the world’s largest rainforest inside Brazil, where private Amazon river cruises carry just 16 guests in air-conditioned suites, or an Amazon jungle lodge sits among the Anavilhanas, one of the largest freshwater archipelagos on Earth. The Pantanal, the planet’s biggest tropical wetland, is where a luxury safari posts some of the highest big-cat sighting rates in the Americas. Run either of them privately, and the guide works to your interests alone.
So who books a private trip? Couples on a honeymoon, families who want a guide who can read the day by their kids’ ages, photographers who need to wait for the light, and anyone who would rather see one reserve well than five in a rush.
Private also opens the door to genuinely tailor-made Brazil tours: combine the Amazon, the Pantanal, and a beach on Fernando de Noronha (a UNESCO archipelago of 21 islands) into one route, or build a slower, higher-comfort trip closer to luxury tours. Tell us the shape, and we plan around it!
A practical note before you plan: our packages cover the on-the-ground experience (lodges, guides, the meals listed in each itinerary, and transfers from the base city) but not international or domestic flights. Share your dates, and we’ll line the flights up with the start and end of the trip. Prices run the full range, from compact 3-day jungle trips to multi-week, design-lodge routes, so we cost every private itinerary by trip rather than by brochure.
