Daria Beretta

I am Daria and I was born in Switzerland, but now I live in Brazil, more specifically, in the wonderful city of Rio de Janeiro.
I have traveled from top to bottom in this wonderful country. I am passionate about travel and tourism, and have visited more than 70 countries, experiencing all kinds of travel: luxury, backpacking, cruise,... And you, what kind of traveler are you? Whether you want to visit the "cidade maravilhosa" Rio de Janeiro or the rainforests of the Amazon, experience a true adventure in the Northeast or visit the Iguazu Falls, I will advise you with pleasure and in-depth knowledge.

What places and activities do you specialize in?

"Rio de Janeiro, Iguazu Falls, Pantanal and Jaguar Safari, Amazon (lodge and cruises), Route of the Emotions, Salvador, Chapada Diamantina, Bonito, Paraty and Ilha Grande"

How did you get involved in travel?

"I'm a travel addicted. Working in the world of tourism was a fortuitous consequence, but it could not have been otherwise. I love sharing my experiences with clients, and I am sure that my advice never disappoints."

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"China was probably one of the trips that challenged me the most. I traveled alone for four weeks. Moving around by train and bus as well. Language was definitely the biggest barrier. Few Chinese speak English, especially when moving from the big centers.
A unique and incredible experience. "

My daughter and I decided to visit Brazil in January. I heard about Kimkim from my neighbor and decided to use them. Being two women traveling by ourselves it seemed like an ideal choice. After answering some questions on a very user friendly website we were put in touch with Daria our trip designer. I cannot say enough good things about her.

My daughter and I decided to visit Brazil in January. I heard about Kimkim from my neighbor and decided to use them. Being two women traveling by ourselves it seemed like an ideal choice. After answering some questions on a very user friendly website we were put in touch with Daria our trip designer. I cannot say enough good things about her. She gave great recommendations to visit 3 places in Brazil and use our 7 days/6 nights wisely. Every detail including pick ups and drops off to airports were planned and we felt very safe and all transfers went very smoothly. We visited Rio de Janeiro first where over 2 days we saw all the important sights leisurely in private tours where only my daughter and I were with the tour guide. The tour guides picked us up at the hotel, took us through leisurely to visit the right amount of sites for half a day leaving us half a day to explore on our own. Rio was beautiful, the liveliness of Copacabana, the majestic views of Christ the Redeemer, the Birds Eye views from Sugar loaf, the artistic Selaron steps and quaint district of St Theresa were all awesome. From there we boarded a flight to Iguazu to see the majestic Iguazu Falls. The falls go as far as the eye can see. We took a boat tour recommended by Daria which takes you right under the Falls. It was exhilarating! We had time to see the Falls from the Brazilian and Argentinian sides. After that we flew to Rio and directly had a taxi take us to Paraty, a village settled by Portuguese in 1600s and it has the original cobblestone streets. This was a recommendation by Daria because I wanted to see a colonial town. It is situated beautifully with the bay on one side and the forest on the other. We enjoyed the walking tour of the serene village in the morning and the bustling streets in the evening. We took a boat out to the bay and the captain stopped at various islands for us to snorkel, sunbathe, lunch! It was a big highlight of our entire trip. I’m so glad Daria suggested this village as it’s not on a traditional itinerary. The food and drinks and the people were also wonderful! Daria and kimkim get 5 stars and more if we could do that!
