IN THE NEWS - Brazil Tours Launched

"Ecotour company, Southern Explorations, announced the addition of Brazil to their travel destinations earlier this week. The small, Seattle-based company now offers three distinct tours to Florianopolis, island paradise off the southern coast renowned for its subtropical climate, beautiful beaches, and festive nightlife. The weeklong tours, appropriately named Brazil Adventure, Brazil MultiSport, and Brazil Surf & Yoga, offer a variety of activities and all stay at a tranquil ecolodge near the ocean. The trips offer unique combinations of hiking, snorkeling, surf instruction, horseback riding, and other active pursuits along with free time to relax. A distinctive aspect of these small group trips is the addition of a nightlife guide to ensure travelers truly experience the best of the area. The company also creates private and custom trips to the island. . ."
