Thanks for your feedback and the info! We’ll give this route a try. Have a great day! Alod

Thanks for your reply, If I understand correctly, you made this trip in November 2025? If that’s the case, could you let me know the cost of the trip to Luang Prabang?

Hi there, We’re planning to travel from Chiang Rai to Luang Prabang next November. We’d like to take a slow boat from Chiang Khong—or rather from Huay Xai in Laos—with an overnight stop in Pakbeng. Could you let us know if the boat still leaves Huay Xai in the late morning? If so, what time roughly, and what’s the price for the trip? Thanks for your help! Alod

Good evening, Our trip went really well, but in the end we didn’t go to Zhangjiajie and we didn’t use a local agency. Have a good evening, Alod

Thanks for your reply! Have a great weekend!

Hi there, Great trip! Did you use local transport? If so, how did you manage between Rishikesh - Uttarkashi - Gangotri?

Hello, We’re arriving at Rio Galeão on October 10th at 4:40 PM. We’ve booked a hotel near Ipanema. I’ve seen there are several options to get to Ipanema—bus plus metro, taxis—but I haven’t found any shuttle bus. Could you tell me if one exists and, if so, where to catch it at the airport? Thanks in advance

Hi there, Thanks for the info. Could you tell me how to get from Salvador to Boipeba or Morro de São Paulo? And which neighborhood to stay in in Salvador? Alod

Thanks for your feedback! Yes, we usually do it that way too, but in this case, the Rio de Janeiro–São João del Rey bus leaves from Rio’s bus station at 7:00 AM, and there are only three buses a day, so we’d prefer to book it in advance... Alod

Ok, thanks for your reply! Alod

Thanks for your feedback! We’ll look around Ipanema, then. Alod

Hi there, Thanks for your reply! We really like lively, local neighborhoods. Is 4 days in Rio enough? Alod

Hello, We’re planning our first trip to Brazil from October 10 to November 7, 2025. We’re a couple traveling with light backpacks using local transport.

Thanks in advance for any feedback you can share!

Of course, everything is flexible except for our arrival in Rio and departure from Salvador de Bahia.

Could you also recommend a neighborhood to stay in Rio? Alod

Hi there, We’re also leaving from Montpellier in early October, heading to Rio de Janeiro, then Minas Gerais, Recife, Olinda, ... and flying back from Salvador de Bahia. We’re currently looking for recommendations on which neighborhood to stay in in Rio? Alod

Hi, Do you know how long the bus ride is between Rio (or Petrópolis) and Tiradentes? Same question between Tiradentes and Ouro Preto or Belo Horizonte. Do you know how often the buses run? Alod

Thanks for your reply, I just tried again, and it’s actually possible now. Have a great day! Alod

Okay, thanks for the clarification! Alod
