Great experience - The tour was amazing, Frank is a very educated guide, as a local he will show you the secrets and useful tips to know about the amazon forest, what transpire is the respect of the environment and how knowledgeable he is about the plants and animals.
You will see wild life such as anacondas, toucans and a whole lot of other animals that are exclusive to this part of the amazon.
On your way to the lodge, you can spot pink dolphins too. Truly amazing.
Ps: Bring your repellent because there are a lot of mosquitoes, even though bed are covered during the day on your excursions it is quite useful.

Monkeys, dolphins and the Amazon jungle - My wife and I had a wonderful time on our amazon jungle tour! Our guide Frank was very friendly and knowledgeable and made sure we got the most out of our adventure! We got to see monkeys, tarantulas, lots of birds pink dolphins and even an alligator (just it's eyes). We did a bit of fishing and swimming as well, and would definitely recommend the experience!

Great experience thanks to James - I had a great experience on this tour essentially thanks to James! A local friendly, dedicated and passionated guide.
I stayed for 3 days/2 nights I don’t recommend the 2 days/1night as it’s too short (you need 2h bus + 2h slow boat from Iquitos!).
Food was tasty .

Great, Flexible Jungle Tour (3 Days) – Also Suitable for Vegetarians - Summary:
- Good food, also for vegetarians
- Great accommodation with mosquito nets
- Competent and friendly staff (guide with very good English)
- Flexible, the tour is tailored to the travelers' wishes
- Authentic, not just a show for tourists
Cozy stay with hammocks in the common area and mosquito nets around the building, with an additional one around the bed. There are showers and toilets with toilet paper.
The food was very good, also for vegetarians (mostly rice and lentils with delicious vegetables in sauce/juice—not just dry rice as often found in Peru, with tasty fruits. For meat-eaters, it’s usually fish or chicken instead of lentils).
We saw many animals: monkeys, sloths, dolphins, spiders, frogs...
A big thank you to our guides, Roy and Frank. They guided us professionally through the jungle, showed us many animals (some of which I would have definitely missed without them), and we learned a lot about plants and their effects.
What I appreciated the most was the flexibility. The tour was adjusted according to the travelers' wishes (e.g., a kayaking tour for vegetarians instead of fishing, and when someone asked about eating in the jungle, they promised to let us try worms the next day).
A big thank you to the whole team.
I would recommend this to everyone (at least 3 days).
Best wishes
Brigitte and Janosch

Great guides make a fascinating tour - Really good value for money. Our tour guides, Frank and Frank, were perfect professionals. Out guides were extremely knowledgeable about the local area and local wild life. We saw many different animals and Frank was able to teach us about all of them. The food provided was also delicious. The lodge had space to relax in hammocks with great scenery as well. The lodge is close to the local village also.

Felt like a jungle experience without being too uncomfortable - Great guides, comfortable accommodation and nice food. Good variety of activities and close to a local village if you fancy a few jungle rums

Beware with Jair - The experience was overall alright. Of course, the excursions and animals you'll see will vary by day and nothing is guaranteed. Our guide Jair seemed knowledgeable and answered all our questions but on the last night, he tried to have a date with me out of an outing which I was under the impression would be an educational experience since he brought it up during our afternoon excursion. During this outing, he said that this was actually his free time and that he wanted to know each other, he started off by mentioning that he was single and without compromise. It got very uncomfortable, very quick. He was trying to kiss and touch me even after I explicitly told him I was not interested. After I turned him down, he was trying to gaslight me saying that he was offended that I would think he had another intention and STILL tried to kiss me. At one point even said "what are you going to do, get off the boat?" like if I'm really going to get off the boat at night in the Amazon. I would advise single female travelers to make sure all outings are part of the program and you do it as a group with the other lodge guests. I hope the company corrects and prohibits this type of behavior. Another complaint I have is a ceremony they sell you while you're there. The "baño de renacimiento" which they explained as a herbal bath that after, they would read your aura and tell you about your future. It just seemed very generalized phrases and the lady would ask more questions than give you information. After speaking with other guests there, it seemed they told them basically the same thing so it seemed scheemy after hearing that from them. These same guests also mentioned to me that the guide Jair had told them he was married with kids after hearing from them that they were wanting to start a family. Book at your own risk.

AVOID! THEY LACK RESPECT FOR TOURISTS! - AVOID! From the beginning of my pick-up, they spent half an hour earlier at my hotel, then the van that was transporting us was going very fast and did not have good brakes. The agent who sold me this 3-day tour gave me a price of 600 soles and said: there is air conditioning there. When I arrive I say: is there air conditioning here? It was my second time in the Amazon and I knew that there were basic, intermediate and somewhat more luxurious lodges. A man answers me: return in the same boat you came from! We don't want your bad energy. Despite this and hearing the manager on loudspeaker say: I don't believe that lady at all. I stayed the 3 days. I received the same food for 3 days. I was totally judged by the men here except the 2 young men who help with boat navigation. They put me on a local bus back and not in a car (it cost 3 soles difference!). During the 3 days the guide did not show me where the Amaxonas River begins!! And on my first morning I canceled the sunrise view and on the second day I was alone since the couple I had joined left, and this activity was not included so I went alone to the town of Alado (3 minutes walking) to watch the sunrise. The music here is constant and can be heard in this lodge every afternoon until after midnight. There is 1 lady cooking and always trying to wash. For those who are non-vegetarians, chicken every day! And in the town they sell fish for a couple of soles and green bananas grow for free!! There is no professionalism, cordiality, seriousness and rather a lot of arrogance where the meaning of money is not valued.
