Chet: What are the pros and cons of using a travel agent to plan a vacation to Brazil?
Hello Everyone! My girlfriend wants to travel to Brazil next year for carnival, and would like to use a travel agent to plan our arrangements, while I would much rather plan everything on my own using the internet as a primary resource. Could anyone tell me the benefits and negative aspects of using a travel agent to plan a vacation of this type? Also, I would really appreciate it if anyone who recently traveled to Rio De Janiero could share some opinions and perhaps “insider” tips on traveling to this destination. Thank you.

Hello, I can give you some tips, first of all, you really don’t need to use a travel agent to come here. Everything here is very cheap. The people normally don’t speak English, but you will fell welcome in almost places you go.
Try to search another place to go, Rio de Janeiro is the most dangerous town in our country.
Recife is a very Beautiful place and it has a famous carnival parade, “o galo da madrugada”. Where there are almost 2 million people walking, dancing and singing trough the streets for 3 miles.
The beaches around this town are marvelous. “Porto de Galinhas”…”Tamandare”…..”Boa Viagem”….You will apreciate.
Good luck and be wellcome.
Travel agencies tend to have discounts (deals with airlines and hotels). The savings can be up to $ 500. Your savings will absolutely increase if you use a Brazil Travel agency. Deal with Brazilians — they will get you the most savings.
Rio is no more beautiful than any other coastal city! As with any major city in the world, you will find over crowded streets and a higher crime rate……Why not try to visit a few smaller cities along the coast during your stay? The Carnival celebrations are just as BIG! If you want you can contact me through our website.
