You can not help feeling that a trip to Brazil is somehow not quite complete without a trip in to the jungle. It is however very easy to be put off by the daunting prospect of a five hour flight to and from the usual hub of Manaus and the subsequent travel in to the rainforest lodges. A perfect alternative is to avoid the Manaus ‘problem’ and to stay at the delightful Yakutinga a couple of hours flight from Rio/Sao Paolo and en route to Buenos Aires.
The location is actually a few miles over the Brazilian in to Argentina border and also just a short drive from the incomparable Iguazu falls where an extra night is needed to enjoy the spectacular show of water that tumbles south over hundreds of smaller cascades and in to Argentina.
