What people love about touring Amazon Rainforest solo
- 4 days 3 nights – Peruvian Tambopata Jungle
The overall experience was excellent for our group of 8. Our guide for the duration, Jonathan, was super helpful and so full of knowledge. He was able to find us all the animals we were looking for including capybaras and even a sloth. The food was nice but there aren't really any options. The accommodations were "basic". Very, very basic. Only a bare bulb with power from 5-9pm. If you can get past those issues, you will have a great time. All of the excursions were amazing.
- 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
Rooms not as clean and can easily be a little nicer.
