エクアドルのアマゾンを訪ねて

This tour was the overall best variety of activities & value for the money that I had experienced in Banos. It was a long and full day, but certainly worth it! The highlights for me were the waterfall hike and the Finca Mirador viewpoint with the "extreme" swing. Our guide Pedro was great as well. He was kind, considerate, and made sure we kept to the schedule.

It was honestly the coolest tour I did. However, it was marketed as English tour guide poorly. I was the only fluent English speaking person on tour, and I did not get out of the tour as I would have with a fully English tour. I did have a guide who spoke English, but not fluently. I understand I’m in another country and I’m okay to be immersed, and again it was an amazing tour, just the marketing of it was misleading.

This is an exciting and affordable way to see many aspects of the Amazon. Everything occurred as described. I enjoyed everything that was included however, it went on way too long for me. I thought I was prepared for such a long day but at one point I was over it. I opted out of the Finca Mirador and the chocolate demo. After seeing pictures of the Mirador viewpoint, do NOT skip this. The view is amazing and I wish I'd seen it in person. If I had the choice to remove anything from the tour, I would opt not to visit the indigenous community. It just didn't feel right. It felt performative and no one looked happy. The only time a few community members expressions changed were when there were personal interactions with people from the tour. I would still recommend this tour and would do it again either with fewer stops or would pay more and do 1.5 days of the tour.

Variety of experiences, relatively low price, almost everything included, still feels authentic enough, highly recommend.

Had a lot go good experiences on this tour. The pick-up arrived on schedule, and connected us with the larger group. The hike to the waterfall and dip in the pool was the highlight of the day. I do feel like the lunch stop could've been shortened, since we spent a lot of time just waiting before and after the meal. Also, the visit to the 'village' was a bit uncomfortable since it made a spectacle of the inhabitants, and also included animals being forcibly used for photographs with some eager tourists.

This tour is the best value for money you could ask for. You do such a variety of activities and it is paced really well. The guide is helpful if you need to ask questions but most of the time you are just happy to be doing the activities. Thanks Pedro and the team.

Very good tour, a unique experience! The guide very attentive to the needs of the passengers, helped everyone, complied with the agreed.

For the price, you get so much from this tour. I couldn’t believe how many different things we got to see (yes, I know it’s outlined in the itinerary but still) from hiking in the Amazon to a waterfall to a canoe ride to an indigenous village. When I arrived, I was the only English-speaker so the tour was given in Spanish and I could ask parts to be translated. This was not a big problem, and it did help with my comprehension! Our tour guide however would lead us to one place and go sit while we explored, no offering to take pictures and very little explanation of what we were looking at. As the only solo traveler on the tour, I had guides from other groups offer to take my photo at certain places and some very nice people on my tour who played photographer. Still, it would’ve been nice for the guide to offer to help take at least a few photos both for me and for the couples on the tour. That being said, it was a really nice day. Highly recommend this trip overall!

Excellent experience. I received recommendations from this agency. Guido and Inés the owners, very friendly, and a very personal touch. They adapted to my tastes, they responded immediately. Very professional guides. They are direct operators so the quality of their activities is very good.

This is an amazing day tour into the Amazon rainforest. It's a long day but totally worth it. Christoph and Paulito have been fantastic. Plenty of stops along the way so that the drive never feels long. Some of the views are spectacular. The walk through the rainforest to the waterfall was very nice. Meeting the indigenous community and all their animals was a great experience too. Highly highly recommend this tour if you are in Banos.
