Antonio Tadeu de Oliveira—"Tadeu"—got his start in the travel industry as a flight attendant. Realizing after four years that he was drawn more to wild nature than the interior of airplanes, he moved into bilingual (Portuguese and English) tour guiding in 2013. After completing a wide array of courses, Tadeu became a certified expert in regional, national and South American destinations with special expertise in the Pantanal and other locations in the Brazilan state of Mato Grosso. A married father of three girls, Tadeu lives with his family in Chapada dos Guimaraes.
