Beautiful trip, we would return!!
My dad and I had the best time on our tour. Carlos our guide was so informative and amazing tour guide. We got to see so many different spots including the beautiful waterfall. On the hike, he showed us all the different medicinal plants. We also had a great visit to the indigenous community and the wildlife sanctuary, along with a beautiful sunset spot.
A day filled with great activities and a great guide. Carlos is the best! So many unique experiences. The viewpoint at the end was phenomenal!

Great experience with Juan the second tour we booked with him. We Really liked the experience the tour was well rounded and staff was very competent and spoke well english.
Tour really recommended. You surround yourself with nature (fauna and flora) typical of Amazonian areas by hiking and a visit to a nature reserve of animals. At the end of the day, we also made a visit to a cocoa plantation that exceeded our expectations - the chocolate was delicious! Our guide, Carlos, took me and my partner on the tour alone, and was an exceptional guide. Of great knowledge and above all passion for the indigenous origins of the area. A memorable day!
Great communication through WhatsApp. On time for tours. The jungle tour was all day. Rained all day, hit the rainy season. Still beautiful. The driver was safe and tour guide knew his stuff.
We had a fantastic day! Our driver and guide were incredibly knowledgeable about local plants, chocolate, and medicinal plants. Their passion and insights made the experience unforgettable. Highly recommend this tour!
Juan speaks very well English, very cool guy with cool activities, we did rafting and went to the Amazon forest. Great experience
