Nicaragua...frontières
Bonjour tout l'monde! Je pars pour le Nicaragua dans quelques jours, je remonterai doucement vers le Guatemala.
Avez-vous des suggestions d'intinéraires? Est-ce qu'il y a des endroits ou c'est moins compliqué de passer les frontières? Est-ce que on peut prendre un traversier ou un bateau pour traverser du Nicaragua au Salvador sans passer par le Honduras? Avez-vous des endroits époustoufflants à me conseiller? Pensez-vous qu'il y a un de ces pays qui est + difficile pour une femme voyageant seule? J'arrive à Managua ce jeudi, avez-vous une auberge pas chère et chouette à me conseiller?
Bon, j'ai encore quelques questions mais je vais m'arrêter ici pour le moment! Youpiiii! Nicaragua me voilà! twididlidi!
Merci merci 😛

Météo aux Bahamas au mois de décembre
Bonjour,
Est ce que l'un d'entre vous peux me dire quel temps il fait aux Bahamas en décembre? Certains me disent que c'est la période idéale (beau mais pas trop chaud) et d'autres que c'est plutôt gris et froid (environ 15 °) ... Je dois faire rapidement une réservation pour l'île de San Salvador... Et j'hésite vraiment
C'est pour mon voyage de noces... alors ça ne se rate pas...
Merci d'avance pour vos réponses...

Itinéraire 2 semaines au Brésil en septembre
Bonjour,
Avec mon amie, nous partons au Brésil du 9 au 25 septembre prochain. Nous arrivons et repartons de Rio, et avions dans l'idée de faire : - quelques jours à Rio (4 ?) - quelques jours à Ilha Grande (3 ?) - Salvadore de Bahia et sa région moitié Salvadore et moitié parc national Chapada Diamantina
Qu'en pensez-vous ? 2 semaines c'est court, nous voulons profiter un maximum, sans être pris au piège du "tout faire sans avoir le temps de savourer" !
Merci d'avance !

Premier voyage au Brésil
bonjour 😉
Après des heures et des heures passées sur le net, nous avons presque bouclé notre périple brésilien mais on se perd aussi... Nous hésitons entre 2 programmes : - IGUACU - SALVADORE DE BAHIA - une pause balnéaire : PRAIA DO FORTE ou MORRO ou BOIPEDA - pour terminer en beauté par RIO (la ville qui me fait rêver depuis plus de 20 ans...)
ou - IGUACU - les environs de PARATY ou ILHA GRANDE ou autre... (tout conseil est bon à prendre) - et RIO
Nos dates : 12 jours à partir du 11 février 2017 je m'y prends maintenant pour payer les vols moins chers ! J'envisage un vol multi-parcours : LUXEMBOURG (nous habitons l'Est de la France) - FOZ DO IGNACU et pour le retour : RIO - LUXEMBOURG
Mes hésitations sont plutôt pour le côté balnéaire. Cela vaut-il la peine de monter si haut (et donc de faire des frais pour des vols intérieurs) pour du balnéaire sauf si les plages sont vraiment plus belles. Quel endroit me conseilleriez-vous pour une pause balnéaire avec des plages "carte-postale" ?
SALVADORE DE BAHIA vaut-il vraiment le détour également où les alentours de RIO sont-ils grandement suffisants pour une approche du Brésil ? Qu'y a t il à visiter comme incontournables...
Merci beaucoup pour les précieux conseils que vous pourrez m'apporter
Je prends tout !!!! Astuces, adresses, conseils par rapport à l'insécurité qui régnerait à Rio, noms d'hôtels (hé oui je cherche aussi un hôtel avec vue mer sur RIO...)
Désolée pour toutes ces questions... Merci beaucoup 😎

Travel companions for Brazil in November 2026
I'm planning a trip to Brazil as winter approaches, around late October to early November 2026. I don’t have exact dates since I recently retired, so I can stay until mid-December if needed. I’m looking for a travel companion (male or female) for this journey—think relaxed mode, pousadas with locals, parks, seaside, culture, and music.
I’ve already explored the north, like Recife and Fortaleza. What I found most challenging was communicating with locals since I don’t speak Portuguese, and not everyone speaks English. I’m trying to learn now, but the accent isn’t easy!!!! This country is huge, and I’d love to discover the south. The idea is to arrive in São Paulo (without staying long—I’m not a big fan of large cities) and take a flight to Iguazu, then a bus to Paraty and Ilha Grande to enjoy the spots. After that, a bit of Rio is unavoidable, but I’d like to explore off-the-beaten-path places with a guide. To finish, Salvador de Bahia, with a focus on Morro de São Paulo and Boipeba. Maybe a return via Salvador—TAP offers that route. Nothing’s set in stone; we can discuss everything together.
I just got back from Madagascar, where I spent the winter (a place I know well), and I’ve got quite a few trips under my belt. Feel free to email me so we can chat, then we can call or meet—I’m based in Toulouse and can host you.
patricia.wagner31@sfr.fr Have a great day! Vejo você em breve

Bahia: Which beautiful beaches to visit in November?
Good evening,
We’d love to go in November to enjoy some beautiful beaches for about two weeks, preferably around Bahia, as November/December seems like a great time.
We’ve already traveled to Brazil several times and know the south of Rio as well as the region between São Luís and Fortaleza, and Chapada Diamantina...
What advice would you give us: the south with Itaparica, Morro de São Paulo, Boipeba, Barra Grande—or all four? Or maybe the north?
Thanks in advance for your help
Looking for birdwatching travel companions - Northern South America (Ecuador, Colombia, Brazil, Guyana)
Hi everyone! I’m planning a trip of at least one month in August-September in Northern South America, with the main focus being wildlife discovery, especially birds.
I haven’t set the exact destination or dates yet. It’ll depend on flight opportunities, my budget (3000-4000 €), and the people I decide to travel with.
I’m particularly looking into options in Brazil, Ecuador, Colombia, and French Guiana. Some possibilities: - Ecuador: Mindo (cloud forest, foothills of the Andes) 🇪🇨 - Colombia: coastal forests of Santa Marta, Los Nevados National Park, Antioquia, coastal rainforest of Chocó 🇨🇴 - Brazil: Pantanal (budget permitting), Northeast (between São Luís and Salvador) 🇧🇷 - French Guiana: Kaw Marshes, Petit Saut, Mana, Matoury, Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni 🇬🇫
I’m looking for: 1 or 2 companions to share this adventure. 🦉 Birdwatching enthusiasts or those interested in other taxa (all levels) and/or wildlife photography lovers; 🎒 a bit of a rugged, curious, and enthusiastic spirit. No age limit, but good physical shape for relaxed nature hikes.
The plan: mix guided birdwatching tours in small groups, lodges for intense nature observation, with periods of independent travel. Budget: 3500-4000 € per person, flights included. Proposed timeframe: August-September 2026
Everything’s still flexible. Important to get to know each other and chat before we go (in person or via Zoom/Teams). If you’re interested, send me a message! 🦉

Costa Rica: The dry season isn't what it used to be!
Introduction:
For years, I’ve heard about Costa Rica, which seems like a country "made for me"—nature, not cities.
I almost went in 2019, but a family issue made me cancel.
Initially, I wanted to spend at least three weeks there, planning to go in our summer despite it being the rainy season. Then I realized what I wanted to do could fit into two weeks, so I ended up going in February.
Plus, January’s weather was so awful that some sunshine should do me good.
I found a flight at a decent price, but with two downsides.
The first is that it leaves from Paris CDG, and the second is that it’s with Air France—a airline I’d sworn off after my misadventures with them back in 2008. We’ll see how it goes!
Feedback on 20-day Brazil itinerary in August
Hi everyone,
I’d love to get your thoughts on the itinerary we’re planning for this summer (August) with our three older teens. We’ve booked our round-trip flight from Lyon to Rio. Originally, we were thinking of heading down to Paraty / Ilha Grande... but after checking, the water temperature seems a bit too cool, so we’d prefer to go to Bahia state for a bit more warmth. Our interests: discovering the people and cities, enjoying the beach and relaxation, a few short hikes, etc.
What do you think of this itinerary? Too much time lost in transit?

Visiting Northeast Brazil in January-February
hi there
I’m thinking of heading to northeastern Brazil in January or February—I don’t really have a choice with the dates.
Apparently, it rains a lot during that time.
Is it really a big issue for traveling? Are these tropical downpours—heavy but brief—or more of a continuous rain?
I’m especially curious about the stops in Lençóis, Atins, and Parnaíba.
For Lençóis, I know the lagoons are almost empty at this time of year.
I’ll also be passing through São Luís, Jericoacoara, Fortaleza, Olinda/Recife, and Salvador da Bahia, and before heading back to Europe, I’ll visit the Iguaçu Falls.
What do you think?
Thanks in advance for your reply.
Best regards

Transport from Bahia to Morro and then from Boipeba to Bahia
Hi there!
I’m heading to Morro de São Paulo in the first half of September.
I’ll spend a day in Bahia and then take the fast ferry to Morro from the Terminal Turístico Náutico. I’ve heard this ferry can be canceled depending on sea conditions. Locals from Bahia, can you tell me if cancellations are common in early September or if it’s usually not a big deal?
After Morro, I’ll spend a few days in Boipeba.
My question is about the return trip to Bahia to catch my flight home.
Is it better to go back through Morro to take the ferry in the opposite direction, or can I leave directly from Boipeba to Bahia?
I want to avoid long trips and bus rides.
If there’s no way around a road trip, I could take a taxi, Uber, or something similar.
Obrigado pela ajuda for helping me optimize my route: Bahia → Morro / Boipeba → Bahia! :)

Help choosing itinerary: Chile - Argentina - Brazil
Hello,
How good it feels to be back on this forum!!!!
Today, we started looking into traveling in April 2026, either to Chile or Argentina. It’s our first trip to South America. I’ve only been to French Guiana once, about ten years ago, for the space center. In recent years, we’ve usually gone to Asia during the spring holidays.
Based on the flight tickets I’ve found, two arrival and departure options are available: - Arriving in Buenos Aires and departing from Salvador de Bahia. - Arriving in Santiago, Chile, and still departing from Salvador de Bahia.
We’re considering flying business class on the outbound flight so we arrive a bit more rested. The travel class might influence our choice between itinerary A or B.
We’d like to spend two days at Iguazu Falls (both the Argentine and Brazilian sides), which explains the departure from Brazil.
Initially, we thought about arriving in Buenos Aires and staying in Argentina before heading to Iguazu. However, the itinerary forces us to go back through Buenos Aires.
We love nature. The El Calafate region seems to offer beautiful, easily accessible landscapes. Maybe there’s another area we should prioritize.
Here are two itineraries—what do you think? I know it’s short, but we can’t add any more days. We’ll have to make it work.
Option A: D1(Sat): Flight from France to Buenos Aires – arrival at 9:55 PM. D2(Sun): Visit Buenos Aires D3(Mon): Visit Buenos Aires. D4(Tue): Flight from Buenos Aires to El Calafate – 3.5-hour flight – arrival around midday. D4(Tue) – until D11(Tue) – visit the El Calafate region: El Calafate / 121km / El Chaltén / 12km / Mount Fitz Roy / 4km / Cerro Torre Mountain / 132km / Perito Moreno Glacier / 57km / El Calafate. D11(Tue): Flight to Buenos Aires D12(Wed): Morning flight to Iguazu (Argentine side) – flight at 6:40 AM or 8:10 AM – 2-hour flight. D13(Thu): Half-day on the Brazilian side – flight around 7:00 PM to Salvador de Bahia. D14(Fri): Visit Salvador de Bahia (downtown) D15(Sat): Morning visit + midday departure for the airport – flight at 5:45 PM from Salvador de Bahia D16(Sun): Arrival in France.
This itinerary forces us to pass through Buenos Aires twice.
Option B: D0(Fri): Flight from France to Santiago, Chile – departure at 11:20 PM from CDG. D1(Sat): Arrival at 7:45 AM in Santiago, Chile – hotel + city visit. D2(Sun): Visit Santiago, Chile D3(Mon): Departure for Puerto Natales, Punta Arenas, or El Calafate – to be decided. There’s about a 3-hour flight. We need to check the drop-off fees if we pick up the car in Chile and return it in Argentina – see ADEL RENT A CAR. D3(Mon) – until D10(Mon) – visit the El Calafate region: El Calafate / 121km / El Chaltén / 12km / Mount Fitz Roy / 4km / Cerro Torre Mountain / 132km / Perito Moreno Glacier / 57km / El Calafate. D10(Mon): 3.5-hour flight + visit Buenos Aires. D11(Tue): Visit Buenos Aires D12(Wed): Morning flight to Iguazu (Argentine side) – flight at 6:40 AM or 8:10 AM – 2-hour flight. D13(Thu): Half-day on the Brazilian side – flight around 7:00 PM to Salvador de Bahia. D14(Fri): Visit Salvador de Bahia (downtown) D15(Sat): Morning visit + midday departure for the airport – flight at 5:45 PM from Salvador de Bahia D16(Sun): Arrival in France.
The end of the itinerary is the same. This option avoids passing through Buenos Aires twice. Thanks for your feedback.

Tips for a 15- to 20-day itinerary in Brazil in October
Hi everyone,
My partner and I are planning a trip to Brazil in October for 15 to 20 days. I spent some time in Brazil years ago while collaborating with the University of Lavras (MG). Now, I’d love to introduce my partner to the country. My initial plan is Rio (4 days), Bahia—which I’ve never visited—(4 days), Belo Horizonte to catch up with old friends and explore the surrounding areas (Tiradentes and Ouro Preto), then... and back. I’m really counting on your advice to help shape this trip. We’re not backpackers anymore!
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,

Miscellaneous info for a few days in Brazil
hi,
We’re planning to spend a few days in Brazil and would love some tips. What are the easiest transfer options between Rio airport and our hotel? Where’s the best area to stay in Rio for 3 days? Has anyone used the domestic air pass, and how does it work? How do you visit the waterfalls, and which hotel is best there? And what’s worth seeing around Salvador de Bahia? Thanks in advance for your replies. Best,

Beach climate in Brazil in July
Hello,
I’m planning a trip to Brazil in July/August. The thing is, I don’t know where I could find a beach with high temperatures (24 °C / 27 °C) and a favorable climate (not too much rain) during that time. I’d like to enjoy the beach and maybe spot some marine wildlife. I don’t surf.
Any ideas or personal experiences you can share?
Traffic fine in Brazil
Hello,
I got a traffic fine for an offense in the state of SP, but I don’t remember why…
The receipt says: EST.VEI.NOS ACOST
I have no idea what that means—anyone know?
