Everything was great. Communication before the trip was a bit scarce and pick up/boat rides to the lodge was interesting (multiple boats/vans) but once we got to the lodge, everything was wonderful. Bennatt, the guide, was INCREDIBLE. His English was great and was very knowledgeable. Joseney, the boat driver and Amazon expert showed us so many cool plants, survival tips, and animals. The food at the lodge was tasty. We camped the second night and had a good variety of boat rides, animal safaris, and trekking. Overall the 3 day adventure was perfect. I wouldnt change anything. Thank you for everthing!

It was fantastic to see the rainforest and explore it on a small boat and by hiking. The tour operator didn't communicate that well as they originally said pick up time was 9am and when I asked again 2 days before the tour they didn't reply but when I sent a whatsapp the following day they said 8.30! Also I assumed I'd booked a private room but when we arrived they talked about me sharing a room with 2 girls. I said I thought I'd booked a private room and luckily they did give me a private room. It should be made clear on tour description whether it is a private room or a room shared with strangers
