Rainforest exploration

Elaine_S, Mar 2024

Luis was a knowledgeable and fluent guide. The experience was unique. I especially enjoyed riding in the hand-carved canoe and hiking through the rainforest. I brought a dive mask, and the fish were abundant to look at. I loved seeing them! Meeting the tribe was entertaining, but it did not feel particularly authentic.

Absolutely marvelous trip with a really well informed Guide

Penelope_C, Jan 2022

Everything about this trip was memorable including traveling in dug out canoes. The tribe were extremely open and able to give an overview of their past and their plans for the future.
