Our stay started badly with so many cockroaches in our room that we had to ask to change rooms. This was accommodated, but was greeted with rolled eyes. Coffee was promised to be available from 6am but was never available before 7am. Our guide seemed disinterested and spent all her time in the back of the boat, a lot of that time she was on her phone. She'd say the name of a bird but sometimes not tell us where to look. She didn't have a laser pointer to help us find things. We were left behind on one one excursion and made to feel bad for the miscommunication. When our clothes got soaked in a downpour we were made to feel bad for asking for the use of a dryer to get them dry in time for leaving the next day. On multiple instances we overheard staff and the manager were talking about us disparagingly in Spanish, but my friend speaks Spanish so was able to understand them. There's a schedule of 3 days of activities so no point staying any longer than that. Overall, we felt uncomfortable most of the time. We didn't see a lot of wildlife. We felt like we were an annoyance, not guests. Massively disappointing.Show more

This was a wonderful tour. The eco lodge was comfortable and the chef prepared amazing meals. The naturalist was very knowledgeable about all the plants, animals and culture of the Cuyabeno Preserve. We went out onto the river and into the jungle to explore every day and even visited an indigenous tribe and made yucca bread. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who really wants to understand the headwaters of the Amazon and the surrounding jungle.Show more
