  Driver didnt tie down my bag & we lost it somewhere between downtown Iquitos & the port (fortunately I had another bag).. The staff was quick to offer partial compensation, medicine replacement & charging cords for our phones. Accidents happen, they did what they could for the loss to have minimal impact on our stay. The Staff was fantastic, the food was excellent (though coffee should be included). Our guide was very knowledgeable, but his accent sometimes made him difficult to understand (or he would give an answer that had nothing to do with the question you asked), but he was a really nice guy & kept everyone up to date on what was going on at what time. We were really disappointed that we didnt get to zipline. There's an obstacle course to get to the lines & we were physically unable to do the last challenge in order to get to the zipline platform. There should have been an alternate way to access the platforms. They offered to push a kid across the last challenge because he was too short to do it (as was my travel companion), but that option wasnt offered to us. The accommodation is what you'd expect in the Amazon...mosquito nets over the beds, private toliet & shower (with unheated water), sink in the room & fan for ventilation. It was adequate & comfortable. The pool was very nice & impeccably clean. They sprayed frequently enough to keep the bugs at bay (a major plus). Our jungle trek was less then enjoyable. We went mostly through swamp & I was too busy watching where I was stepping/trying to stay upright to see much. It was better when he stopped to point things out. He did cut a stick for me to use for support, that was VERY helpful. The rest of the excursions/talks were very enjoyable & educational. Loved the dancing in the village, face painting, animal preserves & especially the sunrise dolphin watch. I would definitely go again, it was very peaceful & relaxing. If you need to be on the go 100% ofthe time or constantly need your hand held, this place is not for you. If you don't mind a little slower pace & the lack of a TV, definitely give this tour a try. The staff alone would make it worth a visit....add in fantastic food & all the wildlife, its a great 3 days!Show more

  Luciana Furio Menks was my contact in Peru and she was fantastic! I was a day late arriving due to a storm in Atlanta and she moved my tours around and met me at the airport to be sure I could still take part in all the tours. Machu Picchu & Rainbow Mountain & Humantay Lake were all extremely well prepared and enjoyable. Different vans picked me up each day and all were professional and helpful Machu Picchu was magnificent and taking the van meant I didn't have to worry about getting my tickets and figuring out when and where to catch the shuttle bus in my second language. Rainbow Mountain is high, cold and hard (as expected). I loved it even though we had snow and mud that day. The guides were so helpful and provided each of us with a walking stick. I used all my rain gear that day-be sure to bring yours. There are locals in Peruvian dress with horses along the trail that you can ride part of the way up if needed. I did walk the whole way but it was a lot of steps. Humanity hike is shorter and also offers a horseback option. The lake at the top is just gorgeous-well worth the trip. I would definitely recommend this trip!Show more
