Danny was the best tour guide. He took good care of us and gave us the best jungle experience according to our needs. We saw so many different animals (sloth, baby alligator, piranhas, dolphins, birds, wolf spider, firefly and many others) during a short stay, thank you Danny! Didn’t got mosquito bites at the lodge at all, (but be prepared at night in the jungle🤫). Last but not the least, the food at the lodge was fresh and simply delicious (I tried some fancy restaurants at Cusco but I liked the food at the lodge more!)

Very enjoyable time and a memorable experience in the Amazon. Our tour guide, Adriel was friendly and had good English. He provided good information on the animals and fauna in the area. We also felt very safe with him as a guide whilst in the jungle and on the river. Breakfast, lunch and dinner were provided with big portions and tasty food options. We caught and ate Piranhas that were cooked nicely by Adriel. The company gave us the option to tailor our amazon rainforest experience. As requested, we got to swim in the Amazon river, see pink and grey dolphins and we did jungle Treks both day and night. We also got the chance to stargaze on the river at night which was amazing! We saw a range of animals such as alligators, sloths, monkeys, snakes, spiders, frogs, piranas, scorpions and many species of birds.

After having stayed a night in Iquitos, I wanted to experience the jungle and decided to stay at a lodge. I am thrilled that I chose the Jacamar lodge - not necessarily for the lodge (basic and rustic accommodation, fairly priced), but because of the fantastic staff at the lodge and the amazing tour guide. I booked a night at the lodge, and was soon contacted to arrange a guide through the lodge (a must do, as it is difficult to explore independently). My guide Christian knew the jungle inside out, spotted so many animals, was telling beautiful stories about the life in the jungle, and was very knowledgable about the plants and animals. In my two days in the jungle I did a jungle walk, night walk to spot reptiles (saw frogs, snakes, tarantulas, other spiders, bats, etc.), a 5:30 am sunset birdwatching cruise, dolphin spotting, and we went to a rescue center for monkeys rescued from the exotic animal trade. Please note that these were the activities that I wanted to do - Christian said from the beginning that I can chose what to do, and he will guide me. The activities were exceptional, but even the boat rides through the big and small rivers framed by dense forest, looking to spot animals and hearing about life in the jungle was magical. The food at the lodge was very good. At the beginning they asked me about allergies and if I don't eat specifc things - I only eat fish and vegetarian food, and they cooked me great meals using the regional ingredients from the jungle.

As it is a remote location, there was only electricity to charge from 6 till 9 pm. This was ok for me, as I was out most of the time and just needed to charge my phone during this time slot.

Safe, comfortable and cozy place, the food is local of very good quality Adriel has been an impressive guide, always waiting to let us know the jungle with enthusiasm and wanting us to make the most of it. Very interesting activities such as seeing sloths, monkeys, toucans, birds of different species, we saw pink and gray dolphins, we fished for piranhas, 100% Recommended and well organized.
