Quick review of Vila Bela Vista, Jericoacoara
Review of Vila Bela Vista, Jericoacoara by nicopreaux

We spent 7 wonderful days at Villa Bella Vista. Everything is perfectly organised by Marcio and Patricia who also share with you their knowledge and connections to help you build the best program your are looking for. There is however enough privacy space and comfort in the bungalows not to see anyone if it is what you are looking for. You will find all the services of a high ranked international hotel chain with the simplicity and humanity of your home. These two people and their team have succeded in building a little paradise. Go, go, go!!!!

Review of Manaus by AndrewPo

Advantages: Excellent base for a Jungle Adventure
Disadvantages: It's a bit out of the way

Manaus is the gateway to the Amazon. It is in Northern Brazil on the banks of the Rio Negro (The Black River) and not far from its confluence with the Amazon River and the Amazon rain forest. Most tourists wanting to explore the Brazilian Amazon head for ... Read review

Review of Iguaçu Falls by AndrewPo

Advantages: Less touristy and tacky than Niagara
Disadvantages: Give it time and it will become touristy and tacky

Iguaçu (or Iguazú) waterfalls are some of the most impressive in the world, not the biggest, widest nor tallest waterfall, but 275 separate waterfalls spread over a three-kilometre crescent between Argentina and Brazil. Most of the falls are in Argentina, ... Read review

Quick review of Vila Bela Vista, Jericoacoara
Review of Vila Bela Vista, Jericoacoara by MooM

A little place of paradise! The reception is cordial, everyone is very pleasant. Excellent stay to Vila Bleated Vista and its surroundings are marvellous. There I recommend to all to come to spend a few nights and to come to admire the splendid sunset on the beach of Jeri. The rooms are comfortable and clean and the meals excellents. Francisco prepares best cairpirinha of the area! If you want to go to the beach or downtown, Marcos will take you along there in charette!

Quick review of Vila Bela Vista, Jericoacoara
Review of Vila Bela Vista, Jericoacoara by marga122

Great place to stay! The Pousada is few minutes away from the town, which was great if you don't want to be around all the noise. The staff was VERY friendly and always willing to give a hand. The room was very nicely decorated and cleaned daily. The fridge was always fully stocked. Patricia and Marcio were AWESOME!

Quite an insight there - almost makes me glad I've not been! I'm intrigued, though, that you didn't take your own advice that you "should be ready to hand over your valuables if threatened". Shame about the camera! by torr

Advantages: Calm, peaceful - lively at night - great amount of food stalls
Disadvantages: Sometimes have to face a lot of traffic when you leave

Lagoa De Freitas, as it is usually called, is a really cool place in Rio just to hang-out and chill. It is the Carioca equivalent to Central Park in New York. Getting there can not be easier - just follow any of the main roads from Copacanaba, Leblon ... Read review
