  • We spent some amazing days in Bonito, swimming in turquoise rivers that are jam-packed with fish, visiting countless waterfalls and admiring monkeys and parrots sitting in treetops. 🦜🐠🐒 This place really is a slice of paradise and for some strange reason it’s so little known outside of Brazil!🤷🏼‍♀️ (like many other cool spots in this country)  Have you ever heard of Bonito? The only reason I found out about this place is because @fesasdelli is Brazilian 😀)  #bonitomsoficial #bonitoms #matogrossodosul #ecotourism #naturetherapy #southamericatravel #braziltravel #braziltrip #travelbrazil #topofbrazil #welivetotravel #2021travel #wanderwomeninc #shewhowanders #damestravel #nowdiscovering #youmustsee #thewanderingtourist #femaletravelbloggers #journeysofgirls #travelette #getlostnow #travelcaptures #travelgirlshub #passportcollective #traveladdicts #thetraveltribe #wowtravels  #turquoisewater #letswander
  • Over the past month we've been taking a much needed break from traveling.   We've been spending time with @fesasdelli 's family in Sao Paulo, and enjoying not having to always rush around, look for hotels/airbnbs and constantly pack and unpack our stuff.  But we decided it was time to get out and explore the world again so we kicked off 2021 with a road trip to Bonito, a destination more than a 1000 km away from us 😄. We haven't made it there yet but once we arrive, I'll show you why this place is so hyped among Brazilians 😁🌱🐠🐍🦜.  #ibirapuera #ibirapuerapark #saopaulobrazil #saopaulocity #parqueibirapuera #visitsaopaulo #braziltravel #braziltrip #travelbrazil #topofbrazil #welivetotravel #2021travel #wanderwomeninc #shewhowanders #damestravel #nowdiscovering #youmustsee #thewanderingtourist #femaletravelbloggers #journeysofgirls #travelette #getlostnow #travelcaptures #travelgirlshub #passportcollective #traveladdicts #thetraveltribe #wowtravels
  • Did you know that there are fjords in Brazil?😯⛰  This piece of paradise is called Saco do Mamangua. It's a magical place hidden between rainforest-covered mountains and since it's so isolated, the only way to get there is by boat, which will drop you off right on a beautiful sandy beach.🏝😍  I loved this place so much that I even fantasized about spending a few weeks here to stare at these green mountains and emerald waters every day, enjoy the tranquility and disconnect from the rest of the world. Hopefully one day we'll make it happen! 😁  #sacodomamangua #braziltravel #braziltrip #travelbrazil #topofbrazil #paratybrasil #paraty #paratyoficial #riodejaneiro #amazinglandscape #fjords #riodejaneirotrip #hiddengems #welivetotravel #viewsfordays #wanderwomeninc #shewhowanders #damestravel #nowdiscovering #youmustsee #thewanderingtourist #femaletravelbloggers #journeysofgirls #travelette #getlostnow #travelcaptures #travelgirlshub #passportcollective #traveladdicts #thetraveltribe

Instead of celebrating Christmas in Estonia like I usually do, this year I experienced a tropical Christmas in Brazil. 🎅🌴 
.
It wasn't easy to get into the Christmas spirit without the cold and the snow but I really enjoyed getting to know the local traditions here. 🥰For example, everyone here eats Panettoni (Italian cake) for Christmas, which was something new for me. Also, we made more than 600 ravioli from scratch 😅 (@fesasdelli's family's Christmas tradition not Brazilian).  #braziltravel #braziltrip #travelbrazil #topofbrazil #paratybrasil #paraty #paratyoficial #riodejaneiro #riodejaneirotrip #hiddengems #colonialtown #welivetotravel #charmingplaces #wanderwomeninc #shewhowanders #damestravel #nowdiscovering #youmustsee #thewanderingtourist #femaletravelbloggers #journeysofgirls #travelette #getlostnow #travelcaptures #travelgirlshub #passportcollective #traveladdicts #thetraveltribe #wowtravels #letswander
