“We had a splendid time during this tour! Our guide Miguel was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We felt very much like being in good hands. We saw many monkeys, birds, butterflies, even sloths, etc. After we left we had the feeling we had done every activity that you can do in the area. Our favourite part was the trip to Sandoval Lake where we saw also a cayman, monkeys and many many bird species. The lodge was great. Breakfast, lunch and dinner as well. They were also flexible with the food. We had forgotten to mention that one of us doesn’t eat any fish. They gave us some vegetarian food…”

“Know what you're signing up for!! This experience can be very uncomfortable if you're not prepared for it. There was nothing luxurious about this adventure. Bare-bone sleeping spaces, minimal and cold water for showers, electricity available just a few hours per day, absolutely no cell service or wifi available. That's what I was imagining when I booked this tour, and that's exactly what it was. An absolute amazing time. Luckily I got along really well with the group of travelers I was with, which made a huge difference. Sometimes the food was a bit sketchy but the staff did everything they could to make the experience better. Keep in mind,…”

Bring bug spray 30% Deer or more, sunscreen, flashlight and bathing suit. There is little internet, WhatsApp messages make it in and out from time to time but nothing more.”

“Great overall trip, would definitely recommend it to anyone wanting to see the Amazon jungle. 5/5 stars! A few tips for review readers I would have liked to have read. 1) They suggest you leave your bigger bags and just take small rucksacks but most other guests had their entire bag. 2) You’re likely to get wet when canoeing so bring extra clothes. 3) They limit electricity in the rooms so recommend a charging bank for electronics. 4) Binoculars and cameras were a good to have but not essential. 5) They have unlimited free drinking water, well priced snacks and drinks (ours took card) and plenty of food at meal…”

“Llegaron 2 horas tarde de lo que pone, lo que supuso hacer la excursión con un calor asfixiante. A pesar de que claramente pone que la excursión es en español, el guía Sergio solo hablaba en inglés, por más que le insistimos traducía solo una parte y de forma incompleta y malas formas, cuando es su lengua materna. Éramos 6 españoles en el grupo que se lo estuvimos continuamente diciendo. Luego decidió mandarnos con un compañero suyo para separarnos y él no tener que hablar en español. En el camino de vuelta, pasó lo mismo, no volvió a hablar en español. No entiendo, porque se ofrece esta excursión de esta…”

“Outstanding tour. Our guide, Ronal (might have misspelled his name) was fantastic. I've read some other reviews and I'm not sure what the other users were expecting; with this tour you are in the jungle with no air conditioning and no hot water to shower with. I actually loved having it this way, making it a very authentic experience. The entire staff was extremely friendly and accommodating to my elderly mother, always checking up on her and asking me how she was doing. All meals were fresh and home-made. If you are looking for a rainforest tour in Puerto Maldonado, look no further than this tour, highly recommended. I cannot…”
