Here are just a few reviews from our Brazil trips …
“An extraordinary journey to a remote area of our planet. The story of the Amazon region and its people is fascinating. Everything is at the mercy of an omnipotent river. We won’t soon forget the skies, encounters with native people and conversations with fellow participants. This was Road Scholar at its best.”
— Fernando from Falls Church, Va. | Road Scholar Class of ‘14
“Excellent trip! We saw and learned so much – and it was nice to be ‘unplugged’ for a week. Our Group Leader was very knowledgeable and shared his love of the region with enthusiasm. We especially enjoyed the early morning and nighttime boat rides. I would recommend this program without reservation!”
— Ginger from Cookeville, Tenn. | Road Scholar Class of ‘10
