Avis
El contacto con las comunidades indígenas y la naturaleza fue mágico. Me sentí segura, respetada y en armonía. Gracias por enseñarme a vivir el Amazonas con respeto.
This is not a tourist trap — it’s a beautifully curated journey into the Amazon’s heart. The cultural exchanges felt genuine and meaningful.
Este tour no es solo una visita, es un aprendizaje. La experiencia con la flora, fauna y cultura local superó mis expectativas. ¡Volveré!
Hospedajes cómodos, gastronomía deliciosa y un trato muy humano. Me impresionó cómo se integra el turismo con el cuidado del medioambiente.
Unterkunft und Essen waren super. Besonders toll fand ich das Pflanzen eines Baumes und die Gespräche mit den Einheimischen.
