We had a once-in-a-lifetime experience with Amazon Explorer traveling from the US, for an amazing adventure in Pacaya Samiria. The team of Hector - our survivor trainer, Rodrigo - our multilingual translator, and Lorenzo - our local guide, to name a few; were all exceptional and extremely professional - while we also spent so many exciting fun times together. We saw a large number of animals, the food and cooking was excellent, we understood the Amazon ecosystem better - and came back with a renewed respect of our fragile environment. Hector was so particular in tailoring the expedition to our needs and interests - constantly showing care for everyone's safety and well-being. We came back home with a lifetime of memories with too many adventures along the way to recount. All thanks to the amazing team at Amazon Explorer !

INOLVIDABLE EXPERIENCE!
My partner and I participated in the 3 Day Survival Program with Amazon Explorer. It was one of the strongest experiences of our lives, but we are super happy to have experienced the real jungle, not the tourist one made up of luxury lodges and animal "rescue" centers. Thanks to Hector and Sergio for your passion, professionalism and kindness! We will be back soon to participate in another expedition together! IG: marti.goes.wild

Amazing
I can’t tell how amazed I am with this unique experience I had in the amazon jungle by my friends Hector, owner of Amazon Explorer and Sergio the jungle native instructor. I had the opportunity to learn from this two jungle skilled trainers and I could achieve many important information about what are the steps to be able to survive in the rain forest and what to do in case I get lost in the heart of the jungle. Hector, Sergio and his family treated me really well and were very kind. If you want to visit and experience the Amazon forest in a safe, reliable and fun way, this is your place. Amazon explorer can offer you that very unique experience in this very unique place.
