Explore Tambopata in three days with ziplining, Lake Sandoval, wildlife cruises, night walks, a clay lick, meals, and lodging.

“The whole experience was a once in a lifetime experience. The condition of the lodging took us by surprise (no AC, little electricity, not very clean), but I think it is the best they can do in the jungle. Our guide Say was amazing and made the experience. He was very knowledgeable about everything in the jungle and also very friendly and caring. Would very much recommend for anyone that wants to connect with nature and doesn’t mind a little heat and dirt.”

Review of a 3-day Amazon adventure from Iquitos, with river trips, pink dolphins, piranha fishing, jungle walks, and a Yahuas village visit.

“We had the absolute best time on our 3d2n Amazon tour. Our tour guide was Danny, a local from the area who went above and beyond to show us what the Amazon had to offer and share his wealth of knowledge with us. We visited in October which was just at the tail end of the dry season, so the water levels were low but Danny knew all the spots to try and help us find wildlife.

“Llegaron 2 horas tarde de lo que pone, lo que supuso hacer la excursión con un calor asfixiante. A pesar de que claramente pone que la excursión es en español, el guía Sergio solo hablaba en inglés, por más que le insistimos traducía solo una parte y de forma incompleta y malas formas, cuando es su lengua materna. Éramos 6 españoles en el grupo que se lo estuvimos continuamente diciendo. Luego decidió mandarnos con un compañero suyo para separarnos y él no tener que hablar en español.
