Wonderful experience, good company, great guide, so many different things to see and do. My daughter's favorite day was the village visit

Ein unvergessliches wunderschönes Erlebnis in der Natur

Michelle_B, May 2022
Die Ruhe und Abgelegenheit mitten im Regenwald war sehr schön. Wir hatten Jose-Miguel als Guide, wohl der beste im ganzen Amazonas! Das Essen war sehr fein und die Ausflüge abwechslungsreich. Die Anlage Dolphin Lodgw war eher klein, hatte aber alles, was es braucht.
