Explore Puerto Iguazú by night with Duty Free shopping, Argentine wine, a three-course dinner, river views, and a tango show.
“Great night. Our guide William picked us up from the hotel and took us across the border. We visited a wine shop , the 3 borders view point and the town of Puerto Iguazu.

Review of Rio’s guided churrascaria dinner with picanha, Brazilian wines, caipirinha, local stories, and practical value advice.
“This was a great example of a meal at a Churrascaria complete with informative background from Roberto - our host. He walked us through the extensive salad bar and then explained the multitude of grilled meats coming from the kitchen. The 3 wines (a bubbly, a white, and a red) were nice but there wasn’t much discussion of pairings. All in all, it was a great experience and no one left hungry.”

See Curitiba’s illuminated landmarks, enjoy dinner in Santa Felicidade, and learn what this four-hour evening tour is really worth.
“Gostaria de começar pela guia, para deixar bem claro, que ela é maravilhosa. No demais me decepcionei, aqui no hora da venda vocês informam 19h. O que não é verdade. As 18h a guia já está no hotel para lhe pegar. Pelo horário, os pontos não estão iluminados, o que é a proposta. Sei que é panorâmico, mas não pude registrar nada iluminado. Me frustrei.”
Review of Gramado’s German Night in Nova Petrópolis, with buffet dinner, German music, folk dancing, transport details, and practical value advice.

No music on the tour, no party feeling during bus trip. The same on way back to Gramado hotel. A sulent (sleeping?) bus.”
