Start in Puerto Maldonado with lunch, then zipline from a 35-meter tower and boat into Tambopata National Reserve. Over two nights, guides such as Ivan, Samuel, Saay, and Alan lead hikes, Lake Sandoval canoe trips, night walks, and wildlife searches before a final clay-lick visit.

“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…”

Guides Sergio, Mirko, and their team lead night walks, river cruises, Sandoval Lake outings, piranha fishing, a Machigenga community visit, and an early clay lick trip. Expect excellent wildlife viewing, tasty meals, and basic rooms with cold showers.

“What can I say... I didn't know what to fully expect as I'd reviewed many different Rainforest Tour Company's for this holiday... some were multiple times more expensive. On leaving the Tour, I can honestly say I had an absolutely fantastic time and so glad I chose this option (regardless of the price). The vibe is super chilled and everyone is like a big friendly family... including the on site macows and dogs. Although it's somewhat relaxed, everything is well organised with clear itinerary and start times, transport is spot on, accomodation is great, food is home cooked and tasty. Furthermore, the tour guide is a total legend (Sergio) and…”

The lodge and bungalows were somewhat rundown but the staff was amazing. Our tour guide (Jhonatan) was the best. He spotted many of the animals and birds that others never saw. It was an unforgettable experience!”

The itinerary is very broad and is very interesting. Don't forget your bug spray and camera. We were very sad to leave.”

“Had the best day! We were sore after climbing 2 mountains in Machu Picchu but our guide tailor made the experience for us to help us get the most out of the day. Pablo was on time, spoke English well, took great photos and was just fun to be around. He made transport easy so all we had to do was show up and enjoy the experience.

Spend eight hours on the Amazon near Iquitos, traveling by traditional boat to watch gray or pink dolphins, meet the Kukama community, visit Monkey Island and a wildlife rescue center, taste Amazonian drinks, and eat lunch at a jungle lodge. English and Spanish guides are available.

“El tour en sí es el disfrute de observar el Amazonas. Pero para lo que pagamos por el full-day nuestra impresión no es positiva. Realmente pagas por el transporte y la comida. Nuestros aspectos negativos de la experiencia: - Falta de información y explicación por parte de los guías. A penas aportaron datos sobre el mercado de Nanay ni del río Amazonas, ni de la tribu ni de los monos. - La explicación de las costumbres de la tribu, su historia, su forma de vida fue mínima. A parte de que hay menores trabajando - En la isla de los monos literalmente solo había 3 monos. Supuestamente es un centro…”

“The accomodation was really nice. We saw lots of mative animals and insects which was great and our guide was really pleasant and knowledgeable. The overall communication could have been better. For example we weren't introduced to the other staff, so we were a little confused at who we should be speaking too and it felt a little awkward at times. We weren't always sure what exactly we were doing day to day (location of activities, times etc). We also assumed it would be a group type tour (from previous experiences) but we were mainly left just the two of us, which was fine but wouldn't be ideal if on…”
