What people love about touring Amazon Rainforest solo
This trip was truly the trip of a lifetime. Jesus really submerges you into the Peruvian culture and the three days you’re there, you are nonstop with activities. Our guide was so knowledgeable and he made the trip. His family grew up in the rainforest so he was able to tell you the history about most things there (the families, the foods, the animals etc). We went during rainy season, and still had a wonderful time. If you’re looking for adventure, meeting wonderful people, and being in nature - this trip is for you!
3 days - Tambopata Amazon Jungle
- Amazon Riverboat Adventure In Depth
Service was excellent. Great way to explore the river and life surrounding it.
- 4 Days Amazon Lodge Cuyabeno Reserve
Do it! Every aspect of it is amazing. From the bungalows to the food. The people are so special as well.
