I was a bit apprehensive about the trip to Amazon however the way entire experience turned out left me and my partner very happy. Our guide throughout the trip was Rodney and he was fantastic. He had such a good knowldge of Ecuador which amazed us throughout and he was very courteous and helpful thorughout the trip. Our Amazon trip guide was Mr. Pajaro and he was superb, extremely knowldgeable about the Amazon forest, birds and mammals and he was able to find the birds and animals deep into the trees and water and would point them to us. Our trip was totally fun, Rodney was very flexible and his main goal was to keep us happy. He would keep us informed of all the steps in the trip and took care of everything. I would highly recommend this experience to everyone.

Meravigliosa esperienza

Sara_P, Jul 2026
Tour veramente molto ricco e ben organizzato. La nostra guida, Javier, è stata eccezionale; preparata, disponibile e amichevole, ci ha guidati in posti bellissimi e in esperienze indimenticabili. Alloggi ricercati, soprattutto quello di Mishauallì che era davvero meraviglioso, immerso nella giungla. Il programma è stato rispettato in pieno e tutte le attività si sono svolte senza i toppi. Tour consigliato!
