Rain Forest Immersion - We went at the beginning of March, and it rained only once moderately during the four days. This meant we were out exploring nature as early as 6.30 am. Our group consisted of eight congenial individuals, all passionate nature lovers and travelers, which made excursions and meal times interesting and enjoyable. The rain forest immersion began as soon as our motor canoe entered the forest. From now on, we were surrounded by the sounds of insects, calls of birds and mammals, flowers, enticing smells, dense foliage, and, of course, wildlife: different species of apes, caimans (regular and black), pink dolphins (in a lagoon), snakes, huge spiders, and more. The camouflage of some of these animals is so perfect that I occasionally looked directly at an animal without seeing it -- until five fingers pointed at it, and it moved! I also liked the dramatic after-dark canoe rides during which insects, large bats, and night birds were exposed in the guide's beam of light. And at the end of the day the spoils of civilization seemed twice as sweet (although our showers never got warm). Our guide, Rom, was fantastic.

3 nights and 4 days in Cuyabeno - A friend of mine and I had a very good time, booking the trip and communicating with the agency was easy, the stay was very pleasant. The lodge in Fotestabamazzonica was very nice and respectful of the environment, the staff were friendly and the food was excellent.
