flights to sao paulo
Posted: Mon June 15, 2009 11:30 AM UTC

Hello,

In January 2010 i want to travel to Sao paulo. I almost booked my flight through cheaptickets.nl, cause actually the easiest way for me is to fly from Amsterdam.
But I can also travel from London (first fly with ryan air from Eindhoven to London) and fly really cheap with Mexicana air for £ 213 http://www.cheapticket.co.uk/index.aspx

But my problem is that i don't really feel comfortable with this way of booking a flight.
Does someone have experience with this and can tell me if this save to do this.

thanx in advance Johan

Adventure Boat Ride
Posted: Mon June 2, 2008 06:24 AM UTC

Hello Everyone,

We are planning a trip to Iguassu falls in October, later this year.

We were hoping to do a jet boat ride up to the falls, but heard you can do this from both the Argentine and Brazilian sides. Does anyone know which side is better? I heard that the Argentine side is not as expensive but just as good? I heard the Brazilian side does a video of your ride which you can purchase? Would we need to book this in advance or can I just turn up on the day?

Any advice would be great.

Thanks.

Visiting Paraguay
Posted: Tue June 5, 2007 09:41 AM UTC

Hi VT´ers.

Im visting Puerto Iguazu for one day in September and then crossing over to Foz for one night from where I have a flight to Rio de Janeiro. Since I really like to visit Paraguay then I was wondering wether it would be better to cross over from the Argentina-side or the Brazilian-side?

I hope you dont mind that I posted the same question on the Puerto Iguazu-forum.

From Foz to Puerto Iguazu
Posted: Mon April 30, 2007 04:49 AM UTC

A few questions:

What is the best way to get from Foz do Iguacu to Puerto Iguazu? By bus or Taxi and about how much was the trip?

How long is the trip between the two cities?

I have read about the difference between both the Argentine and Brazilian sides of the falls and plan to spend the bulk of my time on the Argentine side. However, I was wondering how much time I should spend on the Brazilian side. I will have a Brazilian passport so there is no problem there. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Bus tickets in advance???
Posted: Mon March 26, 2007 07:55 PM UTC

Hi, Sadly we don't have much time on our trip and must stick to planned dates, so I was wondering if anyone knew of a website where I can buy my tickets from Curitiba to Foz do Iguacu in advance and tickets from Foz do Iguacu to Campo Grande too. I saw Catarinense (running a Curitiba-Foz do Iguacu route) has an online buying area, but it is only for Brazilian nationals. And Eucatur (running the Foz do Iguacu-Campo Grande route) doesn't offer online purchases.

We really don't want to miss the buses we need to be on to keep the itinerary. Any suggestions???

Train tickets
Posted: Sat March 24, 2007 09:05 PM UTC

Dear members,

I have tried this website http://www.serraverdeexpress.com.br
I also gave it to my travel agent In Brazil. I want 2 tickets on the left side for the train journey. This has been recommended in these forums as well as Lonely planet guide. My travel agent In Brazil says that seats are allocated in random and is unable to promise me seats on the left side. I am planning that particular journey for 25th May'07. I think being so much in advance there should be a way for it. Or is it first come first served and you can choose your seats?

Is ther any 1 st class compartments or all seats are passenger class/economy class?
input much appreciated.

Hi all together,

I would like to go hiking to the mountain Pico Marumbi.
But I didn't found any further information how to go there.
I will take the train from Curitiba to Marumby.

I found a small map about three possibilities (easy - middle - hard) to hike up.
Does anybody know how difficult the hardest way is? Do I need equipment for it?
Can someone recommend a special way?
How much time shall i consider
Can I also camp there or is it a nature reservat?

Thanks for everybody who takes the time to answer

Brazil-Argentina-Paraguay
Posted: Fri January 12, 2007 01:47 AM UTC

Hi!

Im from Iceland and I and my girlfriend are coming to Brazil (& hopefully as much of S-America that we can cover) in September. Coming from far away we of course want to maximize our time there. Our plan is to check-out the Brazilian side and the Argentina side in 1 day? Is that to optimistic?

Then I was wondering if the Paraguyan-side was worth the visit? Ive heard about a tax free paradise but we dont want to buy anything since we would have to carry it a round for the whole time. So is there anything else to do there except shopping? Some nice cafés and watching interesting culture is sufficient! So does somebody recommend it?

Thanks!

Moving to work in Curitiba for 6 mths and want to find an apartment
Posted: Wed January 3, 2007 02:25 AM UTC

Dear all

I am assigned to work in Curitiba for 6 mths starting from late Jan 2007 by the company and will come with my wife.

The company finds me a hotel with just a microwave and fridge. As we like doing our cooking and importantly six months is not a short period and staying in a hotel will definitely drive us crazy, we wish to find a furnished apartment with two bedrooms, kitchen, belcony and basic electric appliance.

My questions are:

1. Can I easily rent such an apartment for 6 mths in Curitiba?
2. What will be the normal rent for an apartment say 70 square meters?
3. By what source could we find these informations?

Your advise/help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Cheers
