• 5Unforgettable

  This was a great experience. Spending four days in the jungle with various activities like canoeing down the Amazon River, and walking to see wildlife in the forest was a lifelong dream. Food was excellent as well.

• 1Do not order the 4 days it is not worth it!!!

  All the activities finished on the 3 days !!! No activities on the 4 days basically you pay around 100 dollars more to sleep in a sauna and leave the property at 9:00 People who order the 3 days check out the room at 9 but stay for all the activities including lunch and left the property around 14:00. Good for them. Hope you will learn for my mistake:)

• 2Not great or impressive

  Little activities in between a lot of down time and probably an ease of time. 4 days could have easily been done in 2. Not too many animals to see. The lodging was not t organized well. No power or water or internet most times. The food was ok, but not really enough for everyone there. Not a real jungle adventure.

• 1Disappointing and Poorly Managed Tour That Compromised Our Safety

  The lodge was in terrible condition. Our bathroom was dirty, and although a cleaner came daily to make the bed, they never actually cleaned the room. The pool smelled awful and was completely green — clearly neglected. The room also had numerous spider webs, which only added to the overall lack of cleanliness. To make matters worse, we later discovered that we paid double the price compared to another couple who booked offline at a local store — a frustrating revelation given the poor quality of the experience. The guide was able to help us spot animals, but offered very little information about the Amazon unless we asked specific questions. The food was decent, but no snacks were provided as advertised. Even more concerning, two of us got sick on the last day, and we strongly suspect it was due to the food. This isn't just a minor issue — it directly impacted our health and safety. The lodge only has electricity for a few hours a day. This not only made it difficult to charge devices or have light in the early morning or evening, but also affected basic utilities — water flow and hot showers didn’t work properly due to the lack of consistent power. It made an already uncomfortable stay even more frustrating. While the natural setting and some activities had potential, the tour overall was extremely disorganized. We didn’t receive any information in advance about what to pack or expect, yet were still held to those expectations. Unfortunately, this experience felt careless, unsafe, and far from what was promised. We would not recommend it unless major improvements are made across the board.

• 4Amazon Garden Tambopata Tour

  The jungle itself and the wildlife were unspoiled. We saw so much wildlife, monkeys, kapybaras , wonderful bird life , incredible insects, caiman, turtles and so much more.. The whole environment was so interesting and we learned so much. The lodge itself was very basic. We had only cold water ( I believe other bungalows closer to the main dining area had limited warm water) . However, we signed up for exactly what we got and we were quite happy in this extremely humble environment. The food was plentiful.. Our guide Ivan (maybe Iban .. the Spanish pronunciation made me unsure) was a lovely modest man with great knowledge that he was happy to share. We loved it, but if you expecting a touristy commercial experience.. it isn’t! It also does require a level of agility and fitness to get on and off the boats on to slippy muddy riverbanks . A few of us had a rumple or two. A word of advice would be to pack the right kit for extreme rain, heat, ground conditions

• 4Friendly and passionate guides and staff. Mesmerizing nature. But update to itinerary is necessary

  We had a lovely stay at this lodge. A good combination between activities and relaxation, in particular given the extreme heat during our stay in the dry season (October). The staff compromises a gardener, a cook, and cooking assistant. The lodge area was well kept and meals were delicious. The guides were kind, knowledgeable and passionate about the area and its fauna and flora. We saw and were taught about different animals, trees, and plants (e.g., sloths, capibaras, different types of caymans, parrots, macaws, bullet ants, tarantulas, termites, Brazilian nut tree, ficus tree, and many more). One major downside is that the advertised itinerary is incorrect. For instance, we did not go kayaking or zip lining. In addition, fishing for piranhas was not feasible in October, though we did catch other fish. Once the itinerary is updated, we have no critiques and we do recommend staying here!
