My trip was fantastic! It was one of the greatest experiences I have ever had. The lodges were great, the perfect mix of civilization in wilderness, without too much modern technology to get in the way of enjoying the natural beauty. My guide, Orlando was amazing! He knew so much and created so many exciting adventures, ones that I shall not be soon forgetting. Thank you so much for everything, throughout the entire process of preparing for the trip. You were so much help and it was wonderful dealing with a company that is so willing to answer so many questions. I greatly appreciate it and wish more companies could be as helpful as yours.

It was awesome! Absolutely fantastic! Thank you for helping us! VerDel

The trip was fantastic. The lowest score from anyone in my family was a 9.5, which is really saying something since they truly use the fully 10 point scale! No complaints at all. The lodge was perfect, the service excellent, our guide was excellent, the wildlife viewing was sufficient, the interaction with the natives was a highlight, the fishing was so-so but good enough, and the educational experience was outstanding. There were no delays, etc. with any of the connections, which also helped. The only negatives were the humidity and bugs but we knew that ahead of time so expectations were managed. A really wonderful trip across the board!

"I am planning to recommend the lodge to family friends (as it is wonderful) etc and I want to go back this time next year."
Monica King

"Our expedition was absolutely wonderful, the only frustration being that we know that there is so much more to see and so many more adventures to have, so we will have to return! I really enjoyed meeting Michael too and will follow his research with interest (you may remember that I am a molecular geneticist looking to further develop my career in both conservation and communication of science in general). I think that there is a real opportunity to use what he is doing as a billboard for all that is good and right about conservation and I may even ask you for a job too!Thank you for an amazing trip. The staff and the work at the lodges are a credit to you."
Tim Slingsby

"I can't speak highly enough about how we were treated at the lodge and how the guides and staff mafe our trip fantastic. You're claim that they would assign someone to you if you didn't want to do one of the planned activities was true. The guides are incredibly knowledgable and articulate."
John Habicht

"The holiday was excellent and the scenery - WOW! The first week in the rainforest was fantastic, with first rate service from everyone at the lodge. The food at the lodge - brilliant - and the guiding - first rate! The experience far exceeded my expectations"
Humphrey Owen

"...lots of birds, nature, caimans, plants, sloths, stars....camping facility excellent, guides very personable and got the feeling that they enjoyed working with us as much as we enjoyed them. In Iquitos the airport was full of folks who I think got a more "packaged" program and with lots more people - the smallness of the lodge was an attraction."
George Willingmyre

"My son Caleb (age 11) and I had a fantastic time! The service and staff were super! It was really nice having the staff meet us at airports and provide us transportation to hotels, boat docks, and etc. Every thing went very smooth. The mosquitos were not near as bad as I though they would be! We only used bug repellent when going on walking hikes.We spent most of our time with guides Juan Luis, Alex, and Peter.They all had an excellent command of English. They were very knowledgeable of the surrounding and were excellent at spotting birds, monkeys, and etc. I did not hear a single complaint or cross word out of
them, even when Caleb would be paddling backwards or sideways, in the canoes!"
Paul Roddy

I enjoyed it and everything went smoothly, except for the flights. The actual time spent at the lodge and ALL the staff was excellent, especially my guide. Please make sure that the owner knows he has a a great staff and facility.
