Amazing experience
The family had a great time cruising along the river and trekking through jungle. We saw many animals and had a great experience visiting with the Yagua tribe. The food at the river lodge was simple but delicious. Our guide, Aldo, was knowledgeable, friendly and courteous. We even saw a pod of dolphins on our way back to port. Lastly, the weather was perfect. Altogether, we had a great time.

Shared experience
It was very two-way. The English guide Segundo was fantastic, while some other organisational things were disastrous. It started when we got picked up almost an hour early at the hotel, and when we got to the harbor the boat wasn’t even there yet. Rum tasting was a joke, they just wanted to sell rum. Overall, we are still satisfied, we have had great memories.
Operator response
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed your time with Segundo – he is indeed a wonderful guide, and we will share your kind words with him.
We also sincerely apologize for the organizational issues you mentioned. Your feedback is very valuable, and we are already working on improving coordination for hotel pick-ups and ensuring that transportation is ready on time. Regarding the rum tasting, we understand your disappointment and will be reviewing this part of the program so it better reflects the authentic experience we want our guests to have.
We are glad that overall you had a memorable adventure with us, and we truly hope to welcome you back in the future for an even smoother and more enjoyable experience.
Tack så mycket för att du tog dig tid att dela din upplevelse med oss. Vi är mycket glada att höra att du trivdes med Segundo – han är verkligen en underbar guide, och vi kommer att dela dina vänliga ord med honom.
Vi ber också uppriktigt om ursäkt för de organisatoriska problem du nämnde. Din feedback är mycket värdefull, och vi arbetar redan med att förbättra samordningen för hotellupphämtning och säkerställa att transporten är klar i tid. Angående romprovningen förstår vi din besvikelse och kommer att granska denna del av programmet så att den bättre återspeglar den autentiska upplevelse vi vill att våra gäster ska ha.
Vi är glada att du överlag hade ett minnesvärt äventyr med oss, och vi hoppas verkligen få välkomna dig tillbaka i framtiden för en ännu smidigare och trevligare upplevelse.

A great experience.
Visiting the Amazon was one of the best experiences of my life. From the first moment, the tour guide gave us an incredible tour, full of information and fascinating anecdotes about the jungle.
I loved having direct contact with nature, breathing fresh air and listening to the sounds of the jungle in all its splendor. During the tour, I was able to see a great variety of Amazonian plants and animals, from imposing centuries-old trees to exotic birds, playful monkeys and even a pink dolphin in the river.
Definitely an adventure that I would recommend to anyone who wants to connect with nature and discover the magic of the jungle. I hope to return soon!
