In general this tour was well organized and all happened according to the iternary as has been presented to us. The accommodation was at Avatar Lodge which was very good. The food was very tasty and more than enough. The staff ,management and guides were friendly and knowlegable. The rooms were comfortable and clean and free of "creepy crawlies" Cold water shower only, which seems to be the norm in Iquitos? The swimming pool was a life saver.

Excellent! The staff at Avatar Amazon Lodge went above and beyond, and I was very satisfied. The manager, Rafael, was wonderful. My 9 year old said it was the best trip of his life. Our guide, Aldo, was very knowledgeable, entertaining and accommodating. Highly recommended!

The tour was truly amazing. I especially appreciate that it had two entrances to Machu Picchu and the perfect amount of days in the Amazons. Everything was well organized, we had great tour guides, and it was a real luxury to have everything planned and organized for you.
