Peter,
It was a pleasant trip and the locations are really quite good. As for cumbuco : what definitely plays into it is the fact that windtown is on the side of the ressorts and derwise the masses are kiting a bit further away in a clump. New construction projects do seem to be popping up next door so this advantage will diminish a bit.
Rancho Peixa is also very pleasant.
The wind was a bit disappointing (used either the 12 or the 10m switchblade most of the time) but was there every day. Otherwise just the global phenomenon : the lack of (a beginning of) knowledge of English by the local staff is striking, I keep finding that odd for tourist regions but it is what it is.
The trip to Brazil was tiptop in terms of organisation and High Tech Travel's advice to locations was perfect, we had a pleasant kite trip partly thanks to High Tech travel's smooth and professional operation. We are grateful customers.
Best regards and thanks.
