Tours Gone Wild is one of the premier travel companies offering travel packages to Brazil. The company started in 2004 with Brazil as its main destination but has expanded to Argentina, Uruguay, Colombia, Peru, Spain, and Greece as well as offering travel packages to Miami, where the company is based.
Brazil remains as one of TGW’s main destinations and in 2008, the company opened an office in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil to offer its clients better service as well as have a presence in Brazil. “One of the keys to surviving in the travel industry during these times is offering something unique with excellent service at a good price. We started the company in 2004 with more of a focus on nightlife and a younger demographic, but we have evolved into a full service travel company that caters to everyone. Our focus is to offer a high quality Brazil vacation package and guarantee that our clients have a vacation of a lifetime”, says Arturo Perchemlian, TGW Co-Founder.
Rio de Janeiro is TGW’s most popular Brazil travel destination. Rio de Janeiro Travel Packages include airfare, accommodation, transfers, a half-day city tour and VIP nightlife services. “Our nightlife services are offered in Rio de Janeiro year-round and we customize the VIP Service on the client. We have relationships with the best nightspots in Rio, but if the client is not into the club/bar scene, we will arrange for the guide to take him/her to a nice restaurant, samba… Read the rest

Likewise, tales of drug-trafficking, kidnapping and armed muggings might put you off a two-week sojourn in Venezuela or Colombia. But perhaps you are considering something a little more off the beaten track – a holiday that will test your nerves a little, or that will embed you in a completely different culture or environment?
Many a modern traveller now explores further afield, with Australasia, South America, Asia and Africa proving very popular for those with an adventurous spirit (who don’t mind long plane journeys). But for any such trips, there are known – and unknown – dangers that you may want to research before you leave. Visit Australia and you’ll probably be bombarded by people listing its dangerous creatures – box jellyfish, crocodiles, redback spiders, taipan snakes, sharks, and so on – together with a litany of tales surrounding those backpackers who never came back… But go to ‘safe as houses, no dangerous animals/plants here’ New Zealand and you may not realise that its capital city, Wellington, sits on a major earthquake fault line that is well overdue a ‘big one’!
Indeed, in a Norwich Union survey of last year, several places were highlighted as potential danger areas, including Thailand, Mexico and South Africa, where illness, accidents and crime are common. Again, not terribly surprising, perhaps, but… Read the rest
