What people love about touring Amazon Rainforest solo
- 3 days - Tambopata Amazon Jungle
We had a good stay at Paradise Amazon lodge near Tambopata. The accommodation had a quaint rustic feel, enjoyed being off the grid. The activities were spaced out so overall it was very relaxing - would definitely recommend if you're looking for a relaxing vacation. Our guide Jonathan was very knowledgeable and helped us with our activities throughout.
This journey was truly unforgettable, thanks to the incredible experiences, accommodations, and crew. The crew's attentiveness and the expertise of the guides were exceptional. Every aspect of the journey exceeded my expectations, from the refreshing cold towel in the jungle to the meticulous care of our belongings by the crew. I highly recommend this to everyone. Greetings Sebastiaan
