Amazon Tours & River Cruises in Peru

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.

The 5 days Amazon rain forest tour was excellent. The Miyuna lodge is about a 1.5 hour drive and 20 minute boat ride from Iquitos. Our guide Francisco was patient, considerate and adaptable and provided alternate daily outings depending on our needs and the weather (outings are cancelled if it rains - it rained for half a day). There were usually 3 outtings that varied between boat rides, hikes or a combination. The lodge had electricity and wifi in the main area (not the huts allocated to participants that were a short (covered) walking distance from the main lodge). A variety of food was available for each meal which was nicely cooked. Fresh fruit and drinking water is available all day. Participants are advised to bring loose long shirts and pants, bathers, hat, mozzie head net, head torch, insect repellant and sun cream. Long rubber boots were provided by the lodge and were definitely needed to (avoid snake bites and to) cross narrow streams. Thank you Miyuna Lodge for providing an excellent tour. PS: 3 or 4 days would have been enough to see the scenery and many animals.

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.
