Este viaje me reconectó con la naturaleza y conmigo misma. Los talleres con mujeres indígenas fueron profundamente inspiradores. ¡Altamente recomendado para quienes buscan más que turismo!
I loved the balance between adventure and learning. Meeting the locals was the highlight of my trip. Thank you, Tarapoto Amazonas Jungle Tours!
From the jungle walks to the cultural workshops, everything felt authentic and safe. The food was delicious, and the wildlife was incredible.
Les paysages, les dauphins, les rencontres humaines... tout était parfait. Une organisation impeccable et un profond respect pour la nature.
The dolphins, the treehouses, the sunsets... absolutely surreal! It’s rare to find such an intimate and respectful way to explore the Amazon.
