What people love about Nature & Wildlife Tours in Amazon Rainforest
What a brilliant trip into the Amazon! Paradise Lodge was so impressive, with spacious rooms, a swimming pool, pretty jungle vibes and a fantastic breakfast, lunch and dinner service. They are very organized to be able to successfully manage the various groups each day to make sure we all got to do everything listed on the itinerary, even if it was in a slightly different order. Brian our guide was very helpful, knowledgeable, funny and hardworking, with answers to every one of my many wildlife questions. He was able to spot so much more wildlife than we could've done by ourselves, including capybaras, caimans, monkeys, tarantulas, a scorpion, frogs, sloths, all types of parrots, kingfishers and lizards. Every day was packed with activities but there was still time every now and then to hop in the pool or rest for an hour. 100% happy with my experience.
4 days 3 nights – Peruvian Tambopata Jungle
- Ecuador Cuyabeno Adventure: Rainforest, Pink Dolphins & Wildlife in 6 Days
Words cannot describe accurately how amazing this trip was for both of us. The activities were well planned out, the accommodation extremely comfortable, we particularly liked the lagoon in front of the lodge Our tour guide was highly organized and we all knew everything we needed to the day before it was required, communication was clear and detailed. He even gave us great tips of where to buy a pair of binoculars in Lago Agrio, which was appreciated. There was plenty of delicious food, we never went hungry. The lodge overall in the middle of the jungle where you can see everything. thank you again.
- 3 days - Tambopata Amazon Jungle
We have experienced this tour as one of a million tour. It has been excellent from begin till the end. The excursions were interesting, beautiful, exciting especially the ziplining and our guide Bryan was top of the bill. He guided the groep with a lot of passion and enthusiasm and told us beautiful stories about nature, animals and history. The lodges were very comfortable with own bathroom and lovely bed at the edge of the jungle. Every day we got lovely food and drinks. Again thanks for all. We have had a brilliant time!!!
