What people love about touring Amazon Rainforest solo
- Puerto Maldonado Amazon Eco-Lodge 3D/2N (from Puerto Maldonado)
Absolutely perfect! We stayed at 'Amazon Planet', a brilliant Eco-lodge with strong ethics. The cabins were clean and comfortable. The food was amazing, I'm veggie and they catered for me very well. The staff were perfect! Very friendly and knowledgable. I'm already planning on returning!
- 3 days - Tambopata Amazon Jungle
We had an amazing time on this 3 day Amazon jungle experience. The communication leading up to the tour was excellent and the organisation was thorough. The accommodation at the eco lodge was practical and comfortable with a pool for a dip when needed. The food was above and beyond what we expected with a huge variety offered during the 3 days. We really enjoyed all the activities and were amazed at the number of animals we saw…. giant river otters, beautiful birds, caimans, a range of monkeys, tarantulas and Peruvian sloths (one was in a tree at the lodge!!) Overall I would highly recommend this tour to others who would like to explore the Tambopata River Amazon Jungle.

Excellent service and good food. Cabin in front of boat had us sleeping at an angle.
