★★★★★ Yavarí–Sacambú Three Days Tour
“Myself and two friends did the Yavari River and Sacambu Three Days Tour and absolutely loved it! The itinerary is relatively flexible to suit your needs, the tour guides and food were fantastic. It is by no means luxury if that is what you are looking for, but a really well put-together authentic experience of the Amazon rainforest.”

★★★★★ Amazon jungle tour · 4 days
“Hicimos el tour de 4 días y lo recomiendo mucho. Es una experiencia salvaje a la vez que muy emocionante: delfines rosados, monos de diferentes especies, pesca de pirañas, trekkings por la selva, noche en la selva y visita a una maloka. Me sentí segura en todo momento con nuestro guía Alsi.”
Cristina Carreto · Google Reviews · Local Guide
★★★★★ Indigenous Tribe Experience · 3 days
“I booked the indigenous tribe experience: 2 nights, 3 days with the Tikunas in the Arara community. It was amazing. We had the best guide, Cristian: he checked up on us all the time, made sure we were fine and adapted the programme to our fitness level. He knows the jungle like the back of his hand.”

★★★★★ Amazon jungle tour · 3 days
“An extraordinary 3-day trip to the tropical rainforest. Juan, our indigenous guide, gave us an insight into the wonderful world of the Amazon as well as into many of the indigenous legends explaining why fauna and flora are as they are. A once-in-a-lifetime experience to be repeated!”
