- 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
Exciting trip with lots to do! There were never a dull moment. I would recommend serving more authentic Peruvian food at the lodge.
What a sublime experience aboard a luxurious boat! From the moment we arrived, we were immersed in hospitality with atmospheric music and a refreshing welcome cocktail. The staff was exceptionally friendly and always willing to help. The guides possessed deep knowledge and shared their stories with contagious passion. The culinary offerings were exquisite, featuring a selection of both local and international dishes. The accommodation provided delightful beds, and everything was meticulously cared for. Each day brought new excursions and adventures, far surpassing our expectations. We highly recommend this experience! Best regards, Sebastiaan and Barney from the Netherlands.
