5 - Day Amazon Cuyabeno och Papallacta äventyr

The Amazon/Cuyabeno is amazing. Nicky Lodge was good. Our guide; Jefferson M. was extremely great. I feel Rebecca Adventure Travel is overpriced as I seemed to have paid double when compared to travelers who booked directly with Nicky Lodge or travelers who booked with Secret Garden - Quito. I paid close to double what other travelers paid. In hindsight, I should have shopped around a little more and I will never book with Rebecca Adventure Travel inthe future. Another disappointment with the trip was when 5 travelers (myself included) came down with food poisoning on the second to last day and had to travel on a 10 hour bus ride while sick. Brutal! The lodge didn't seem to care nor did they offer a solution.

Everything was amazing. We did a lot of things and saw a lot of different animals. Our tourguide Elias was very good and knew everything about the flora and fauna!

A 2019 booking for Easter 2020, we cancelled they rebooked for 2021, we cancelled they rebooked for 2022, no flights to Lago Agrio they found us the best tour guide to pick us up in UIO airport and drive us to the reserve, 8 hours on paved roads in a Hyundai Tucson that was super comfortable. The tour itself was safe, clean and the food was delicious. If you are hesitating between the 4 and 5 day tours the difference is the best day of the tour being added, you will be dropped by motorboat to near a fishing spot, then you will fish for man eating Piraña fish, then you will cook them and paddle back to the main river. The teamwork and enjoyment of cooking what could eat you cannot be underestimated. Other highlights of this tour were the evening sunsets over the magnificence Lago Grande, spotting wildlife from pink river dolphins to caymans to toucans to monkeys. I've travelled most Andean countries and know the risks of booking the wrong amazon tour, I know thew temptation to book through an agency where the pricing looks almost too good to be true. In this case Rebecca Travel are a really great operator where you get what they promise at prices that do not involve price gouging like many overseas agencies. If you book through them they can also offer a myriad of other services such as transfers, private tours of Quito and the rest of Ecuador. If you want value at a safe, high quality level then look no further.

We wer staying at Nicky Lodge and then finished in Papallacta. A perfect trip, well organized, we have no reason to complain. On the contary, Rebecca Tours organized everything well and responded fast if we had questions. The locations picked were beautiful and a perfect experience.

After 2.5 weeks of traveling through Equador I fell in love with the country. So much beautiful and diverse nature, very lovely people and delicious food. To end our trip we decided to make another trip to the Amazon from Quito. I thought the holiday couldn't be better, but this was the highlight. So don't skip this. We left from Quito with a private van that picked us up at our hotel, this saves you a lot of time. You are in the car for a while, but the view is beautiful! Once you arrive in Cuyabeno, you will be immediately welcomed by your tour guide from your lodge and given a delicious lunch. Then the adventure begins and you relax on a boat across the river to your lodge where you will meet beautiful animals (monkeys, snakes, sloths, beautiful birds). I was at the Nicky lodge with my boyfriend. Everything was very clean, there is even hot water and the beds slept wonderfully. The staff helped you with everything and wow what a nice meal we had! Our tour guide grew up in the Amazon, so he really spotted the smallest and best sheltered animals. Highlighting the harpy eagly with its young in a nest! I could go on for a while, but you shouldn't skip this trip. The trip was booked quickly because Rebecca adventure travel responded quickly.

Wonderful experience, good company, great guide, so many different things to see and do. My daughter's favorite day was the village visit

Rebecca Adventure Travel organized this trip for us, from and back to Quito. The logistics were perfect. Jamu Lodge surpassed our expectations. Very good food, very good guides who showed us lots of different species of animals. And they even had rubber boots size 47!

The stay at Jamu Lodge was actually very good, but that is not what this review is about. Also - whatever the experience at the lodge, the Rebecca Adventure Tours has no merit in it - all services are provided by lodge, the company is just a middle man. The lodge has a webpage that is easy to find... This however is about the single traveller policy that did not work out so great. Here how it is described at the company's webpage: "If you are a single traveler and you would like to visit the Amazon with our tour program you can do it without paying any extra single travelers’ fee at least if you willing to share your cabin with another person of the same gender. If you would like to have your own private cabin with your private bathroom it is possible but there is a single fee of 70%." Great, I thought, just what I need. I am certainly willing to share. And this is how it worked out. Having made payment, and received confirmation that all has been payed and arranged, what an unpleasant surprise it was to receive message that: ups, we haven´t find anyone who wants to share the room with you, so be so kind as to pay the single supplement. At that point I was trapped - pay up or no refund policy... Never mind that I had signed up under different understanding and did not want a single room. Lovely, right? The good news - at least they did not apply the 70% single supplement as noted on the website, instead it was 45%. Btw, on the Jamu lodge webpage it states that single supplement is 50%. One major reason why I choose the Rebecca Adventure tours was the policy quoted above and the fact that I thought they would stand by it as the company seems to be partially based in Europe. So sad about how it worked out in real life. When I pointed out the misleading information on the webpage, they said they would consider changing it - never mind, I was able to copy the text from the webpage today, just as it was when I was doing my research in November / December.

I was in Ecuador for a month and booked 5Day Cuyabeno Amazon Experience on short notice through Rebecca Adventure Travel. I had an incredibly nice time!! It all worked great, with the bus we started at night from Quito and in the morning we arrived. There was something to eat and the motor canoe continued to Nicky Lodge. The accommodation is a bit apart from the others is kept simple but completely comfortable for the jungle. The food was really incredibly delicious, every day there was other typical Ecuadorian food. The excursions were varied and with our guide we saw super many animals, with his nice way he brought us closer to the jungle. Every day there was something new to do, night hike, canoe tour, the best was swimming in the Laguna grande at sunset and the trip to the natives with whom we cooked together. I can only recommend anyone to book through Rebecca Adventure Travel. Thank you for this unforgettable time.
