“This trip was amazing - so much fun! Our guide, Manuel, was awesome. He was full of information, very funny, and we loved every outing. Our boat driver, Kenny, was also great and had quite the eye for spotting sloths up in the trees! The food was great, as was all the support staff.

Review of a 3-day Amazon jungle tour from Iquitos, with lodge stays, wildlife, pink dolphins, ziplining, meals, transport, and practical tips.

“The accomodation was really nice. We saw lots of mative animals and insects which was great and our guide was really pleasant and knowledgeable. The overall communication could have been better. For example we weren't introduced to the other staff, so we were a little confused at who we should be speaking too and it felt a little awkward at times. We weren't always sure what exactly we were doing day to day (location of activities, times etc).
