Amazon rainforest

Absolutely fantastic! Unbelievable going up the Amazon for three hours and arriving at the lodge after dark and not believing such a wonderful site. Our guide we spent four days was Paul and was great. I’m going to take my grandsons there next year.

Go with a good guide

We had booked all our 4 day 3 nights jungle tours thru this good local agency. If you shop around online and research on TripAdvisor, you will find plenty of them. They all are very responsive and quote you and give you the details upfront.

Jungle

Walking through the jungle was such an amazing experience, despite the heat, humidity, and mud (last part of rainy season).  Our Inkaterra guide, Saay, made the tours.

Great Experience.

This is what you come to the Amazon to do. We had a fantastic guide, Fernando, nothing was too much trouble, what ever we wanted to see he would arrange it, from wild bird clay licks, animal hides, river trips, canopy viewing and so on, it was a great experience.
